What is a dual purpose AGM battery?
Dual purpose batteries are ideally suited for applications that require both strong cranking power and low-amp draw (cycling) service to meet the extended auxiliary power needs of electrical accessories. Among this class of battery, Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) sealed batteries are a top performer.
Can I stack AGM batteries?
These units can be stacked and bolted together to create higher capacities and unique shapes to fit in any environment. Ideal for campervans and motorhomes.
How long will a 100Ah battery run a fridge?
A 100Ah lead-acid deep-cycle battery will run a fridge using 630kWh/year for 13.3 hours. 80% discharge is assumed, but at the recommended DoD of 50% the same 100Ah battery will run the fridge for 8.3 hours. A lithium iron phosphate 100Ah battery will run the fridge for 15.8 hours at 95% discharge.
What is the difference between a starting battery and a dual purpose battery?
To put it simply, dual-purpose batteries have the ability to function as both deep cycle batteries and starting batteries. With thicker and larger plates as compared to starting batteries, these batteries are known to be the best option for handling deep discharges, which typically ruin most starting batteries.
Are dual purpose batteries any good?
Dual purpose batteries are ideal for applications that require starting and deep cycle service. They deliver powerful cranking amperage for easy starting, and low amp draw service for reliable auxiliary power.
Can I lay my AGM battery on its side?
AGM batteries hold their charge well and are less likely to sulfate when compared to regular wet cell batteries (conventional battery types). AGM batteries, on the other hand, can be mounted in any orientation because the liquid is sealed inside the battery.
Is it OK to mount an AGM battery on its side?
AGM and Gel batteries can be mounted on their sides with no problems, but should not be mounted upside down.
