AGM Batteries: Built for Today’s Vehicle Demands
Power that keeps up with modern vehicles
Power That Keeps Up with Modern Vehicles
Modern cars rely on more electronics than ever—from heated seats and touchscreens to start-stop engines and safety systems. That’s why Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are quickly becoming the go-to choice.
What Is an AGM Battery?
AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries hold electrolyte in glass mats. They’re spill-proof, maintenance-free, and ideal for vehicles with:
- Start-stop technology
- High electrical demands
- Frequent short trips or idling
- Harsh environments
Did You Know?
1 in 3 vehicles will require AGM by 2027
AGM must replace AGM—never downgrade
H5–H8 are the most common AGM group sizes
Why Choose an AGM Battery?
- Stronger Starting Power: Reliable starts in any condition
- Faster Recharging: Recovers quickly after powering accessories
- Longer Life & Durability: Handles vibrations and heat better
- Maintenance Free: Fully sealed, no top-offs needed
- Safe Anywhere: Can be mounted in cabin or trunk
