What is an AGM type car battery?
AGM or Absorbent Glass Mat is an advanced lead-acid battery that provides superior power to support the higher electrical demands of today’s vehicles and start-stop applications. AGM batteries are extremely resistant to vibration, are totally sealed, nonspillable and maintenance-free.
Can you jumpstart a car with a AGM battery?
A: No. In the jump starting application, the jump starter acts as an extension of the vehicle’s battery.
What causes AGM batteries to fail?
In time, AGM batteries (including OPTIMA batteries) may fail. Failures usually happen when a starting battery is used in a deep cycling application. In many cases, AGM batteries that seem to be bad are perfectly fine. They are just deeply discharged.
How long should an AGM battery last?
We can generally say an AGM battery can last two to three times as long as a flooded battery. In the commuter car example we referenced, if a flooded battery lasts three to five years, an AGM battery could last six to ten years or longer.
Which battery has longest life?
Mastervolt Lithium Ion batteries have a lifespan of more than 2000 cycles, which is three times longer than most standard lead-acid batteries. They have an extremely long lifespan due to aspects such as the battery management, very low self-discharge, the lack of memory effect and a discharge of up 20 %.
How much do AGM batteries cost?

Do you have to replace with AGM battery?
Only replace an AGM with another AGM
The battery life is shortened, and the performance of the Start-Stop and comfort functions of the vehicle are not guaranteed. Therefore, replace AGM only with AGM!

Can you ruin a AGM battery?
No, these batteries do not develop a “memory” like some nickel-cadmium based batteries. Severely discharging and leaving the battery discharged can cause harm and shorten life in AGM batteries. Have you heard about sulfation?
