Best Uses For AGM Deep-Cycle Batteries

When it comes to powering electric vehicles like golf carts, cleaning machines, and marine/RV accessories, deep-cycle batteries are the industry standard. The reason is that they are designed to provide greater long-term energy delivery that is capable of powering vehicles and equipment for longer periods of time, compared to a battery used to start a vehicle.

Deep-cycle absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries were designed with the electrolyte soaked into absorbed glass mats that surround the battery’s cell plates, rather than being submerged in the liquid electrolyte like the Flooded Lead-Acid battery types. The absorbed glass mat design eliminates the need to add water and prevents any leakage of the electrolyte in cold or hot weather conditions.

Without the need to add water, these maintenance-free, batteries offer an advantage when used in compact, battery-powered vehicles and equipment. Many of these have very small battery storage spaces, where access to the batteries is difficult. If you live or use battery-powered equipment in extremely cold environments, AGM batteries are well suited for it, as there’s no free liquid to freeze and expand, which cause battery case damage.

AGM deep-cycle batteries are available in a wide range of sizes and voltages that can be used in just about any application from RVs, to Solar and Renewable energy storage, golf cars, aerial work platforms, floor cleaning machines and more.
