What is AGM Battery for Powered Access

 

 

AGM means absorbed glass mat, and it means the battery acid inside is absorbed into fiberglass mats instead of sitting as a free-flowing liquid.The fiberglass mats spread more of the electrolyte in contact with the ultra-thin lead plates — all while cushioning the battery against knocks, bumps and vibrations. Because of the absorbent glass mats, battery makers can literally squeeze in more lead plates. More lead in the battery means more available power.

AGM Battery for Powered Access Components
01.

Lead Plates

AGM batteries contain lead plates, which serve as the positive and negative electrodes. These plates are typically made of a lead-calcium alloy to improve their durability and reduce water loss during charging.

02.

Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM)

AGM batteries feature a fiberglass mat separator that is saturated with electrolyte (usually sulfuric acid). This mat is placed between the lead plates and acts as a sponge to hold the electrolyte in place, preventing spillage and allowing for a maintenance-free design.

03.

Electrolyte

The electrolyte in AGM batteries is typically sulfuric acid (H2SO4), which is absorbed into the fiberglass mat. This electrolyte facilitates the electrochemical reactions that occur during battery discharge and recharge cycles.

04.

Battery Case

The battery case houses all the internal components and provides physical protection and containment for the electrolyte and other materials.

 

 

AGM Battery Vs Regular Battery(Flooded)

These batteries have lead plates submerged in a liquid electrolyte. The liquid freely moves within the battery case, and the level can be checked and topped off with distilled water if needed. This is why these batteries are sometimes referred to as “wet cell” batteries.

Construction

Flooded lead-acid batteries require regular maintenance, such as checking the electrolyte levels and adding distilled water when necessary. They also need to be kept upright to prevent spills and must be vented to allow gases produced during charging to escape safely.
productcate-60-60

Maintenance

While they are cost-effective and reliable, flooded batteries are more prone to sulfation (crystallization on the lead plates), which can shorten their lifespan if not properly maintained. They are also less tolerant of deep discharges and can be damaged if not recharged promptly after use.

How to Choose AGM Battery for Powered Access
 

Motor Specifications
Voltage: Ensure the AGM battery voltage matches the voltage requirements of your motor. Common voltages for electric motors include 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V. Using a battery with an incompatible voltage can damage the motor or lead to inefficient operation.Continuous Current Draw (CCD): The CCD refers to the constant current the motor draws during operation. Choose an AGM battery with a capacity that exceeds the motor's CCD to ensure sufficient power delivery and prevent premature battery discharge. Battery capacity is typically measured in amp-hours (Ah).

 

Battery Capacity (Ah)
The battery's Ah rating indicates the total amount of current it can deliver over a specific time period. A higher Ah rating translates to longer runtime between charges. Here's a simplified approach to estimate the required battery capacity:Runtime (hours) = Battery Capacity (Ah) / Motor CCD (amps)This is a basic formula, and factors like motor efficiency and operating temperature can influence runtime. Consider using a safety factor of 1.2 to 1.5 times the calculated runtime to account for these variables and ensure adequate power reserves.

 

Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)
While cold cranking amps (CCA) may not be as crucial for electric motors as they are for starting gasoline engines, they can still be pertinent for applications involving high initial loads, such as winches or mobility scooters used on inclines. A higher CCA rating indicates better performance in cold temperatures, making it an important consideration for ensuring reliable operation in challenging environmental conditions.

 

Discharge Rate
Deep-cycle AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries are specifically engineered for applications that involve frequent discharges and recharges, such as in renewable energy systems, RVs, boats, and off-grid solar power systems. These batteries are designed to provide sustained power over extended periods, making them ideal for deep-discharge cycles.

 

How AGM Batteries Work

 

 

Absorption

During charging, the glass mat absorbs and retains the electrolyte, preventing spillage and making AGM batteries maintenance-free. This also means they can be installed in various positions, including on their side, without the risk of leakage.

 

Recombination

AGM batteries employ a unique recombination process. As gas is produced during charging and discharging-a process that's normal conditions for all batteries – it is recombined within the battery rather than being released into the atmosphere. This minimizes the need for topping up the electrolyte.

 

Low Internal Resistance

AGM batteries have lower internal resistance compared to flooded lead-acid batteries. This results in quicker charging and discharging, making them ideal for high-demand applications.

 

 

 
How to charge an AGM battery

Again, avoid letting the charger's clamps touch the battery's loose negative clamp.Reconnect the car's negative terminal to the battery. Disconnect the backup battery. Now you're ready to hit the road with a fresh start.

 

How to Maintain AGM Battery for Powered Access
 

AGM Batteries Should Never Be Partially Charged
In order to preserve their capacity, all absorbent glass mat batteries must be fully charged to 100 percent. When AGM batteries are only partially charged, they lose their ability to charge to their maximum capacity over time. If you only charge your AGM battery to 60% all the time, it may eventually fail to charge beyond that point. As a result, the battery's lifespan is reduced.

 

How to Store Your AGM Battery
Make sure your battery is stored in a cool, dry location with plenty of ventilation. Sulfation will occur if your battery is left drained for long periods of time. Always ensure to recharge your AGM battery when keeping it for prolonged periods of time.

 

They Should Be Charged at the Correct Temperature
To extend the life of the batteries, charge them while the temperature is between 0° and 40° celsius. If you charge lead-acid batteries in temperatures between 0° and above 40°, they can be damaged. Because AGM batteries are made of lead acid, you should prevent charging them in extreme temperatures.

Only Use the Chargers Advised by the Manufacturer
A huge AGM battery will certainly demand a large charger capable of matching its capacity. In most cases, the capacity of the AGM batteries and chargers is shown in amperes. Simply checking the suggested amps on the battery will tell you which charger is best for your AGM battery.

 

Preventing Sulfation
The ability of the battery to keep a charge is affected by sulfation. When a battery is not given a complete charge, sulfation develops and persists on the battery plates. It can be avoided if you keep your AGM battery charged during and before storage. In addition, to reduce the impact of sulfation, utilize the AGM battery's recommended charger.

 

The AGM Battery Should Not Be Overcharged
Determine the correct voltage as specified in the manufacturer's instructions to charge your AGM battery effectively. To charge your AGM battery, avoid using a standard fuel generator. Overcharging might destroy the structural components of your AGM battery. Similarly, undercharging might affect the longevity of an AGM battery.

AGM batteries require less maintenance than flooded batteries and are generally considered maintenance-free.

Q: What kills AGM batteries?

A: AGM batteries are 12 volts, like all car batteries, and can handle some higher voltage, but only up to a certain point. If a car alternator charges an AGM battery with a voltage higher than 15 volts, it can damage an AGM.Bottom line: Do not use a regular battery charger for an AGM battery. Make sure you use the AGM or Absorbed setting. If you're not sure, don't risk it.

Q: How do you maintain an AGM battery when not in use?

A: The rate of self-discharge decreases at lower ambient temperatures and will increase significantly when stored in consistently warmer ambient temperatures – up to 50% faster at 35ºC (95ºF). AGM batteries should be stored in a cool (above freezing), dry location unpackaged or in the original packaging.

Q: How long can an AGM battery sit unused?

A: These batteries if not used within a month must be maintained. If the voltage drops below 12.4 these batteries must be boosted up to full charge. Bottle Supplied (BS) – dry AGM batteries are shipped with the electrolyte stored in a plastic container.

Q: How to tell if an AGM battery is bad?

A: However, if it fails to go higher than 10.5 volts after a full charge, chances are it has a dead cell or two. Additionally, if it is fully charged but the reading on the lead-test meter is equal to or less than 12.4 volts, it shows that the battery is sulfated. This is usually a red flag and is a sign of severe damage.

Q: What maintenance is required on an AGM battery?

A: Always charge AGM batteries whenever possible. Deep or prolonged discharging leads to sulfation and shortens battery life. Be sure the positive and negative battery terminals never touch; otherwise, this could result in a fire or explosion. Protect batteries from heat and cold as much as possible.

Q: Do AGM batteries discharge when not in use?

A: You see, batteries are electrochemistry. Most flooded-cell (a.k.a., wet) batteries self-discharge about 3% of their capacity per month at 77o F, while Hawker® AGM batteries lose just a fraction of that at about 1%!

Q: Why is my AGM battery draining so fast?

A: Newer batteries can mostly resist the freezing winters and scorching summers, which usually severely affect the battery's ability to hold its charge. But if you own an older AGM battery, intense hot or cold temperatures can weaken its performance or kill it altogether.

Q: Is a trickle charger ok for an AGM battery?

A: Never use a ``trickle'' charger on an AGM battery. Even if they are very low amp voltage can rise to dangerous levels. Wet cells can tolerate overvoltage but AGM batteries cannot. For long storage periods, it is much safer to disconnect the battery.

Q: Is an AGM battery maintenance free?

A: AGM Batteries then bring the trump card to the table, they are maintenance free. Premium AGM batteries recombine the gases produced internally, back into liquid. This recombination makes the AGM battery maintenance free. No acid leaks, no mess while charging, no corrosion on surrounding parts.

Q: Does my car really need an AGM battery?

A: With twice the capacity of standard flooded car batteries, AGM batteries charge faster and are created specifically for vehicles with higher power requirements, such as cars with fuel-saving start-stop features, or possibly even some cars with high-tech features such as dash cameras and remote starting systems.

Q: How do I bring my AGM battery back to life?

A: Connect the good battery to your “bad” AGM battery in parallel (positive to positive and negative to negative). Hook up the good battery to the charger, but ensure the charger is powered off. Once connected, turn on the charger. After about an hour, see if the AGM is warm or hot to the touch.

Q: What will ruin an AGM battery?

A: AGM batteries use lead acid, therefore, you should avoid charging them when it is too cold or too hot. Preferably, charge the batteries when the temperature range is between 0° to 40° Celsius to increase their lifespan. Find our quality AGM batteries and recommended chargers and accessories at Lifeline Batteries.

Q: How do I keep my AGM battery when not in use?

A: How to Store Your AGM Battery Make sure your battery is stored in a cool, dry location with plenty of ventilation. Sulfation will occur if your battery is left drained for long periods of time. Always ensure to recharge your AGM battery when keeping it for prolonged periods of time.If you are not using your AGM batteries and you're storing them away for later use, it is important to fully recharge them at least once every 4 to 6 months.

Q: How to make an AGM battery last longer?

A: One of the easiest ways to extend your battery's life is simply by making sure that you are giving your battery a chance to fully charge in a complete cycle each day. This allows your battery to go through a conditioning phase which prevents sulfaction damage to the plates.

Q: How to test an AGM battery?

A: Attach the load tester: Attach the load tester's clips to the battery terminal, with the red clip going to the positive terminal and the black clip going to the negative terminal. Begin the test: Let the load test run for 10 to 15 seconds, then stop.

Q: What is the difference between AGM and regular battery?

A: Higher Power and Lower Resistance.AGMs' lower internal resistance – under three percent – means the battery produces more power. Compare that to 10 – 15% internal resistance in a standard battery. The lower resistance also means not as much heat is produced. And lower resistance has another benefit.

Q: Can you charge an AGM battery with a normal charger?

A: Different chargers have different capabilities - Although under normal conditions most 12-volt automatic battery chargers will work on an AGM battery, the battery will only charge to about 80 percent of its full capacity. Many newer battery chargers have settings specifically for AGM batteries.

Q: Can you jump start an AGM battery?

A: As mentioned above, jump starting AGM batteries is very straightforward. That said, our Booster PAC and Jump-N-Carry traditional jump starters use AGM batteries in them and are legendary for their power and durability. Whether jumping flooded batteries or AGM, they answer the call day after day, year after year.

Q: What kills AGM batteries?

A: AGM batteries are 12 volts, like all car batteries, and can handle some higher voltage, but only up to a certain point. If a car alternator charges an AGM battery with a voltage higher than 15 volts, it can damage an AGM.Replacing an AGM with an EFB or conventional battery would be like using the wrong spare part.
