Just made myself a lifepo battery.. it normally does not get charged😅 because of nearly zero internal resistance (ECU thinx it's charged so cutoffs the alternator) and doesn't charge at all when i stop and idle BUT idle consumption went down from 0.6l/100 to 0.4-0.5l/100. It charges only when driving, with 13.3 float voltage, or when motor braking at 14.5V..
For my 2019 ford fusion is says the agm battery requires professional installation AGM Valve Regulated Lead Acid VRLA is required, what does this mean?
What battery type for a 1952 Chevy with a 6 volt system. The car is only used as a toy and sits all winter. (Chicago). Standard 6v lead acid batteries only last about 2 years and the old girl needs as much juice as possible to start.
Have a 6 year old interstate battery that has died on someone's truck 3 times in 3 days using only hazard lights for a few minutes (everything else off). There are no vendors near me that had a direct replacement so I wanted to upgrade them to agm and again no interstate batteries. Had to go with a platinum agm everstart. fresh off the shelf, installed, NO START lol, put the interstate back in NO START, got the owner gas and the pump safety failed so the gas just poured out and made a mess. massive hunger headache, traffic, just a rough day and the cherry on top? The tie down rail didn't fit the shorter battery so I had to go hunt down shims for the threads to hold tension to the nuts. Anyone wanna build a time machine? I miss being a kid...
Why doesn't the formula for calculating Ah's of a battery, work with the 48 AGM @ 760 CCA, 120 RC, 70 Ah...Curious, as some batteries don't list the Ah's for BMS resets.
There's usually a PDF on the manufacturers website for that particular group, the Ah should be listed there. It's typically higher by ~20-30% and they do better with deep cycle.
Advance Auto pushes their Diehard AGM batteries. If Advance installs your battery, you have to pay $4.00 for the felt anti-corrosion washers. These felt washers are normally $1.00 for 2. No battery warranty if you don't buy them. Advance is grossly overpriced on their batteries at all levels. At Walmart my battery was $100.00 cheaper and a longer warranty. Advance pushes the AGM battery no matter what year of your vehicle. Never again going to Advance Auto.
Been using them for my whole life, I had bought a reconditioned one once that was reverse polarity charged and blew my fuse in my car. They replaced it and refunded me for the fuse and sold me another battery I needed for something else at cost. Really helpful people
I bought a replacement Interstate battery for my Honda Accord at Costco. It died in 4 months. I took car to a garage that sold Interstates and the guy almost went postal. He explained Costco has Interstates made to lower standards and only Costco can do warranty work on their fake Interstates. I did buy a new battery but after owning Interstates for decades, I will never buy another Interstate ever again. You lost a good customer!
My first DIE HARD battery I bought in 1982 when I was in the service in Colorado Springs, lasted 7yrs..I guess they just don't make things the way they used to. I haven't see the AGM's lasting much longer than flooded batteries here in Arizona...Lucky to get 2yrs outta one.
So the AGM is better in almost every way except the price?
"if you practice good charging methods" perhaps you can tell that to my alternator.
Underrated comment
@@binqerna that was pretty funny 😂😂😂
I bought 4 1150cca Interstate AGM Batteries for my Semi Truck. I got tired of replacing lead acid batteries every year. I will Update a year from now.
Our truck batteries change every few years

If only it can absorb the price my dear Watson.
Some one replace my battery and it dó not allowed me to charge. In navy battery exploded likr vlay more
Too bad and sad Interstate AGM H5 batteries are not made in Germany any longer , but Mexico !
They're more expensive in MX than when they were built in Germany 😢

I’ve had nothing but trouble and roadside breakdowns from interstate batteries

@@matthewmumau1761 course you have
@@Rafficarian 🤷🏼♂️ they are made in china now tho
Any one selling recycle batteries specially for solar power
