Like other VETUS maintenance-free batteries, Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are fully sealed, apart from a very small ventilation opening (pressure relief valve).The plate material consists of lead - calcium and the electrolyte is completely absorbed by glassfibre mat separators, which means that the battery cannot leak, even in transport or if the casing is damaged.

STORAGE
VETUS AGM batteries can be orientated in any position (even upside down), but they must not be charged if the poles are pointing downwards. Charging of these batteries is effected by any voltage regulated battery charger on the correct setting, or by the engine alternator. Naturally, Vetus battery chargers are ideal for the purpose.

VERY LONG LIFE SPAN
VETUS AGM batteries are genuine multi purpose marine batteries. They are suitable for cyclic deep discharge operation when used in the main bank to power lighting, pumps, domestic appliances etc. But the high cold cranking amp rating also makes them excellent for engine starting or powering bow thrusters, anchor windlasses and other high current consumers.
