What is an AGM Battery?

AGM batteries, or absorbent glass mat batteries, are a technological improvement to traditional flooded lead batteries. Over the years, AGM has become the advance lead battery choice in the automotive industry.  One of the most notable advantages of AGM batteries is that they typically last longer than flooded alternatives, making them a great choice for passenger vehicles.

AGM separator provides compression against the electrodes preventing the active mass from shedding. The additional compression, versus a traditional flooded battery, ensures the advanced AGM battery lasts longer especially when batteries are more prone to failure in PSoC.
