  • AGM batteries are more expensive than traditional flooded wet-cell batteries, but they offer a number of advantages. And with the emergence of regenerative braking, alternator decoupling and stop-start, AGM batteries have become a minimum replacement requirement for many newer vehicles.

    Great video and explanation. I am going to buy a AGM battery if my 2001 BMW 530i battery ever fails. I am using a PulseTech PowerPulse passive battery desulfator on it to keep it working longer, Pulse Tech states that there patented frequency used to desulfate a battery can extend battery life by up to three times.

      All you need to do is use baking soda and water to clean the terminals and then coat the connectors with Vaseline petroleum jelly or silicon dielectric grease, they also make red and green felt pads that are coated with a solution to also prevent corrosion that you install under your battery connectors.

    • @ganzonomy
      @ganzonomy 3 роки тому +7

      Because an AGM battery cannot handle the absorption stage of charging being over 15 volts. Flooded lead acids (like the ones made by Johnson Controls) can tolerate some overcharging, because the tops can be popped off, and new distilled water poured in, to replace whatever "gases off". With an AGM, they're sealed from the factory and not designed to take more water. If you go over 15 volts, you can cause pressure within the battery to build up, and then the AGM battery has to release its "emergency valves" that keep the AGM from exploding. However, once that gassing off takes place, there's no way to put new distilled water in (or new sulfuric acid), and the battery loses capacity.
      C-TEK, Odyssey, and NOCO all make AGM-friendly battery chargers. You pay more, but you'll preserve the battery for much, much longer.

      good question, my dodge came with a regular 525 cca battery, I'm currently using an expensive bosch agm battery, and the alternator charges it just the same. I imagine that you don't actually need a battery charger that specifies agm, the ones that do probably just have additional software to charge the agm batteries in a slightly different way.

    AGM batteries are not suitable replacements for vehicles that originally came with flooded lead acid batteries. Your vehicle's alternator will undervolt your new AGM battery thinking it still has the FLA battery. AGM batteries require at least 14.2 to 14.8 volts.

      I believe the AGM battery will only slowly drift lower in charge over months of use in the standard voltage regulated car in most driving regimes and will function fairly well if given a very slow (additional) charge every few months with a charger that takes it up to 14.7 or 14.8 volts at very low current (must not exceed that however and older chargers,even very small "tapering charge" models may exceed 15 volts if left unsupervised)
      I suspect that the Odyssey Extreme battery may behave somewhat differently than other AGM batteries
      if your car regulates at,say,14.2 volts the AGM battery probably will stay at satisfactory charge level longer than if it regulates at only 13.5 volts @@LuisC202

In the Solar (charging) world, it is difficult to find science. Most just repeat what they heard. Do you know what is a really good charger (battery charger) that has the correct charging profiles specific to AGM? I mean like if a vehicle owner flattened their AGM by leaving the headlights on all night and wanted to charge it on the bench before returning it to the vehicle.
