Service life of AGM battery
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Unlike the previously used lead calcium batteries, the sulphuric acid contained in batteries with fleece technology is not self-contained in the battery housing.
Instead, the sulphuric acid is 100 % bound up in glass fibre fleece mats (separators). Thus, no acid can escape if the battery housing is damaged. In addition, the AGM battery is sealed gas-tight. This is possible because the gases are converted back into water as a result of the separator permeability.
