How Do AGM Batteries Work?
Understanding how AGM batteries work is key to appreciating their unique advantages. Like traditional lead-acid batteries, AGM batteries have a positive electrode made of lead dioxide and a negative electrode of spongy lead. However, there are some notable differences:
Absorption: In AGM batteries, the electrolyte solution is absorbed into a specialized glass fiber mat sandwiched between the positive and negative plates. This absorption completely contains the electrolyte, preventing any potential leakage or spillage.
Recombination: AGM batteries employ an efficient recombination process. As gases are produced during normal charging and discharging, they are recombined within the battery itself rather than venting to the atmosphere. This minimizes water loss and the need to refill the electrolyte.
Low Internal Resistance: Compared to flooded lead-acid batteries, AGM batteries have lower internal resistance. This allows for quicker charging and discharging, making them well-suited for high-demand applications that require bursts of power.
Special consideration should be given when choosing chargers for AGN batteries, as they charge at lower voltages. Too low a voltage can result in failure and performance degradation. Sometimes, the term AGM battery usually refers to a sealed, maintenance-free battery and is labeled as a setting on the charge controller. This can be confusing and can lead to the wrong charger selection or incorrect Settings when charging. If other charging methods are used, such as alternators, an appropriate regulator must be installed to control the charging voltage. Generally, the battery charging voltage ranges from 14.5 volts to 14.8 volts, and the float voltage ranges from 13.1 volts to 13.5 volts.
