Fullriver Sealed Battery

[Stephen Birtles]

AGM (Absorption Glass Mat) sealed battery technology was originally
developed in 1985 for military aircraft where power, weight, safety,
and reliability were paramount considerations.

AGM battery technology has continued to develop and offer improvements
over other sealed battery technologies. AGM technology has become the
next step in the evolution of both starting and deep cycle sealed
batteries for marine, RV, and aviation applications. This "next
generation" technology delivers increased safety, performance, and
service life over all other existing sealed battery types, including
gel technology.

In AGM sealed batteries, the acid is absorbed between the plates and
immobilized by a very fine fiberglass mat. No silica gel is necessary.
This glass mat absorbs and immobilizes the acid while still keeping
the acid available to the plates. This allows a fast reaction between
acid and plate material.

The AGM battery has an extremely low internal electrical resistance.
This, combined with faster acid migration, allows the AGM batteries to
deliver and absorb higher rates of amperage than other sealed
batteries during discharging and charging. In addition, AGM technology
batteries can be charged at normal lead-acid regulated charging
voltages, therefore, it is not necessary to recalibrate charging
systems or purchase special chargers.
