Making use of the kzbin.infoUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type

[@acereport8939]

Thanks for explaining the discharge rates. I’ve got more the one vehicle and I’m always ruining batteries because I’ll forget to put on the battery tender. Last time I bought a new battery, I got the AGM/gel type for one of my cars and I’ve noticed that if I don’t drive it for a week, it’ll continue to start right up! That never used to happen in the past. I’ve got a fairly new battery in one of my other vehicles but after about a week of sitting, I can tell that it has lost some of its power. Sure, I can always disconnect one of the terminals but that resets the clock. I’m going to be buying AGM from now on. It’s definitely worth the extra money for someone in my situation.

[@ekfinn]

An Acid-Free AGM? That's hilarious. How do you get the redox reaction to create electromotive force, aka voltage?

[@DeepcyclebatterystoreSanDiego]

AGM batteries are superior in the fact they don't not freeze at the cold temperatures and perform better

[@DeepcyclebatterystoreSanDiego]

But Gel behaves better in hot climates

[@TheCorrectionist1984]

How are the internals different from a car battery?

[@Milesco]

Regular flooded batteries don't freeze either at cold temperatures as long as they're fully charged.

[@stinkycheese804]

Biased much? Flooded lead won't freeze if they have a reasonable charge, certainly enough to start the vehicle they were meant for, at that temperature. The performance is irrelevant otherwise, except for greater lifespan, and yet, the lifespan in dollars per year is "usually" lower. This leaves one decided advantage which is offroading, resistance to vibration, and orientation at odd angles. Frankly I think the time is near where vehicles will just move to a smaller battery combined with a supercap array. I see people using the supercaps but trying to pick one or the other instead of leveraging the strengths of both together.

[@Cotronixco]

Jeff, I have 8 of each on my solar energy system. The biggest drawback I have found with AGM batteries is that they cannot take nearly as many cycles below about 11VDC as flooded lead-acid batteries can. To me, this is a major issue because it affects their longevity big time.

[@DeepcyclebatterystoreSanDiego]

I believe you are correct, from what I am told Gel is superior to AGM for deep discharge but very $$

[@thirdroompro]

Is there a way to avoid that without having to sit on you charge waiting to stop it? Also read that you can't run them past 50% discharge or you ruin them?

[@lukejones1244]

Is it actually rated as a "deep cycle" because I'm getting the impression from reading that standard AGM batteries are naturally deep cycle?

How is the inside of a marine battery different than a car battery?

[@carsusa1]

We have about 50 brand new flood lead acid batteries in stock and if we do not keep them maintained they will drop about .1 volts every about 10 days or so, therefore they will discharge at a rate of about half a percent a day if you do not keep them charged up on the other hand AGM batteries loose one to 3 percent a month. Nothing is wrong with Lead Acid batteries as long as you keep them up but AGM batteries are worth the money if one can afford it.This man is speaking the truth!

AGM..HANDS DOWN..

[@stinkycheese804]

No, you didn't. Your alternator may not have been performing up to spec but was definitely putting charge into the battery for it to have lasted that long. A fresh/charged battery CAN start a vehicle 7 times no problem, but not do that and power the vehicle the whole time. Recognize that your battery or alternator light coming on just means the voltage dropped below optimum, not that it's doing nothing. This is fact. You obviously don't understand how much current is used driving. It's more than starting in total Ah by multiple times.

If you converted into a sleeping area do you have room underneath the bed? We have seen people lay the larger 12 volt AGM batteries on their side or on their ends to accommodate

Perfect explanation thanks a lot! this has been so confusing to me as they're both labeled Maintenance Free batteries. One more question though: Can any system run on AGM batteries? my motorcycle manual says to only use a specific lead-acid one, but lets say I make room for another shaped AGM battery. One with the same capacity and cold cranking amps as the original, then it should work right? or does it have something to do with the way the alternator charges the battery?

[@pengu99]

It should be fine, just check the charge voltage from the bike at mid revs and make sure it doesn't go above whatever the battery specifies as the max bulk voltage (Typically 14.4V)

Interesting. Most likely it is a deep cycle battery. Try doing a google search on the part number for the cut sheet on capacity.

[@jabrown450]

I am curious about mixing flooded cell and AGM batteries. I have six house batteries and can't afford to swap them all out for AGM at the same time. So what are your thoughts on mixing and replacing them all one by one overtime to AGM?

[@DeepcyclebatterystoreSanDiego]

never a good idea.. flooded and AGM charge differently, The charger may overcharge the AGM as a result.

[@Cotronixco]

I've done it and it works fine, as long as you satisfy the charge and discharge parameters of all batteries involved at all times.

[@whitelfner4582]

So the 'flooded battery' isn't a true deep cycle battery. You can tell this because it's sealed, So the alloy is lead calcium rather than a true deep cycle which would be lead antimony. Compare you AGM against a true deep cycle lead antimony, or better yet 2 golf cart batteries vs 2 AGM and the AGM will underperform for fewer years than the golf cart or lead antimony batteries!!!

[@matthewszostek1819]

recombination is awesome. sealed is the way to go.

I have a agm battery for a car and would like to use it for a boat. Would it be a deep cycle and work for a marine application?

[@Mrsmith4102]

An AGM battery is capable of cycling, but it is not a true deep cycle battery. You will not get as many cycles vs a DC battery.

[@vcstable]

You did not mention anything about the number of cycles for each technology from what I understand flooded vented are the best option for solar applications, is this correct?

[@DeepcyclebatterystoreSanDiego]

Correct, flooded typically have higher life cycles with proper maintenance

[@joerickard4216]

Are the exterior dimensions of an AGM typically larger that those of the equivalent Lead Acid battery? My boat has 7 batteries on it and next season will be my 4th on these. So I'm considering a complete refresh - and would like them all to fit in the same enclosures. Thanks

What about the difference in life of an AGM compared to and Flooded Lead Acid Battery that is not sealed?

[@dalewatkins9889]

I 'believe' the life is similar, 'if' you keep up the electrolyte 'monthly' in the Flooded battery! Albeit, one can get different options, where flood acid 'should' get 5 years if taken care of, and AGM 'can' get 7 to 10 years of life!

agm has acid and lead and the glass mat absorbs the acid to keep it in contact with the plates if used in a different orientation which flooded types can't, they can only be used upright.

[@josepeixoto3384]

and why do you need to use them on their sides,please ? for your info, they ALL are the same tech,lead acid,and they last about the same, they do the same, just the agms cost much more, go figure

@@josepeixoto3384 For your information my motor bike has on on it's side as do NBN power back up supplies. AGM means absorbed glass mat.

[@Aussienessful]

@@josepeixoto3384 A quick google search would tell you. "The acronym stands for “absorbed glass mat” and that's one of many improvements made to Planté's original train light battery. Glass mats, cushioning the ultra-thin lead plates, will squish like a sponge. In turn, manufacturers can squeeze more glass mats and lead into one battery. More lead equals more power. AGM batteries are extremely resistant to vibration, are totally sealed, nonspillable and maintenance-free. AGM offers better cycling performance, minimal gassing and acid leakage when compared with conventional lead-acid batteries. The end result of all of the features of AGM technology is superior life performance. The leading advantages of AGM are a charge that is up to five times faster than the flooded version, and the ability to deep cycle. AGM offers a depth-of-discharge of 80 percent; the flooded, on the other hand, is specified at 50 percent DoD to attain the same cycle life."

Hi, one thing about AGM batteries in my opinion , is that for most makes equalization charges at around 15.5v are not necessary & if anything will shorten the life of the battery. I see Lifeline are one of the few to say their AGM's are designed to cope with a 15.5v overcharge occasionally & it does them good. Some people seem to confuse AGM's & GEL cells. I'd like to warn people that most GEL cells are likely to have their lives greatly shortened by charging much above 14.2 volts at normal (non freezing) temperatures. Victron Energy say their GEL cells can last up to 20 years correctly charged. I My Sonnenschein GEL cells are still almost the same capacity as when they were new 10 years ago . Unless you can be sure of correct charging, AGM's are a safer bet due to their less strict charging requirements, though.
