Should longer service life be expected from AGM battery?
Yes. The main reason wet batteries fail is due to the fact that water levels are not properly monitored coupled with the fact that they are not very vibration resistant. AGM batteries do not have to be constantly maintained and are much more resistant to both heat and vibration, which is why they offer longer service life. AGM batteries eliminate water loss due to heat and evaporation.Most people don’t check their conventional battery’s water level on a regular basis, and as the electrolyte level in the battery goes down , sulphation begins,which will dramatically shorten a conventional battery’s life. Also the AGM battery’s lead calcium construction provides better resistance to vibration and thereby increasing its service life.
