What is an AGM battery?? Why are they so much more than a regular battery? AGM { Absorbed Glass Mat } batteries contain a special glass mat separator that wicks the electrolyte solution between the battery plates. This material's design enables the fiberglass to be saturated with electrolyte- and to store the electrolyte in a " dry" or suspended state rather than in a free liquid form. While regular lead acid batteries need a topping charge every six months to prevent the build up of sulfation, { The process of lead sulfate crystals building up on a battery cell during extended storage or undercharging of a battery.} AGM batteries are less prone to sulfation and can sit in storage for longer before a charge becomes necessary. The battery stands up well to low temperatures and has a low self-discharge.
