All AGM Batteries in AGM Batteries(1000+)

Choosing the right AGM battery size involves considering your vehicle's requirements and battery group size. Group size refers to the battery's physical dimensions and terminal placements, which must fit your vehicle's battery tray. You can find the recommended group size in your vehicle's manual or on the existing battery label.

Also, check the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating to ensure the battery can provide enough power to start your engine in cold weather. Matching the CCA and reserve capacity to your vehicle's needs helps maintain reliable performance. Walmart offers various AGM batteries in different group sizes to fit many vehicles.

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries offer several advantages over traditional flooded lead acid batteries:

• Maintenance-free: AGM batteries are sealed and don't require water refilling.
• Better vibration resistance: Their design makes them more durable in rough conditions.
• Lower self-discharge: They hold charge longer when not in use.
• Faster charging: AGM batteries typically charge quicker than flooded types.
• Leak-proof: The absorbed electrolyte prevents spills, making them safer to handle.

These benefits make AGM batteries popular for automotive, marine, and off-grid applications.

Charging an AGM battery safely requires using a charger compatible with AGM technology. Here are some tips:

1. Use a smart charger: Select a charger with an AGM or sealed lead acid setting to avoid overcharging.
2. Charge in a well-ventilated area: This helps dissipate any gases released during charging.
3. Follow manufacturer instructions: Check the battery and charger manuals for recommended charging rates and times.
4. Monitor the battery: Avoid leaving the battery unattended for long periods while charging.

Using the correct charger and following these steps can help maintain battery health and safety.

Several factors can lead to AGM battery capacity loss or early failure:

• Overcharging or undercharging: Incorrect charging damages the battery's internal structure.
• Deep discharges: Frequently draining the battery below recommended levels reduces lifespan.
• Extreme temperatures: Excessive heat or cold can degrade battery performance.
• Improper storage: Leaving batteries discharged or unused for long periods can cause sulfation.
• Physical damage: Vibration or impact may harm internal components.

Proper charging, usage, and storage can help extend AGM battery life.

You can identify an AGM battery by checking for specific features:

• Labeling: Most AGM batteries are clearly marked as 'AGM' or 'Absorbent Glass Mat' on the battery case or label.
• Sealed design: AGM batteries are sealed and don't have removable caps for adding water.
• Weight and feel: AGM batteries tend to be heavier than comparable flooded batteries due to their construction.
• Terminal type: They often have top-post or side-post terminals designed for secure connections.

If you're unsure, consult the product description or ask a Walmart associate for assistance in identifying AGM batteries.
