3 Tips To Extend Your AGM Battery's Life

AGM Car Battery

At Uplus Battery - At Uplus Battery, we're proud to offer AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries, designed for superior performance and minimal maintenance. Unlike conventional flooded batteries, AGM batteries don’t require topping up with distilled water or acid, and there’s no need to clean up acid spills or heavy corrosion at the terminals.

However, a little care extends the lifespan of the battery and a regular check of the charge level helps to detect a weak battery before deep discharge occurs. Ensures your battery performs at its best and lasts as long as possible.

3 Tips To Extend Your AGM Battery's Life

• Check Voltage Every 3 Months:

  If the powersports vehicle is in storage or used infrequently, disconnect the battery cable to eliminate drain from electrical system. Then, check the battery voltage every month (for Conventional types) and every three months for AGM batteries. Recharge battery if voltage is below 12.4V.

  (If stored at higher temperatures, more frequent inspections will be required, as higher temperatures lead to higher self-discharge rates.)

  Viewed this way, AGM batteries save a lot of things for you.

• Regular Checkup:

  Even if your battery is sealed and maintenance-free, but there are some places that can be checked regularly:
  • Clean battery surface – Dirt or debris can lead to discharge.
  • Inspect cables and clamps – Check for signs of damage or looseness.
  • Ensure battery is secure – A loose battery can vibrate and shorten lifespan.

• Daily Tip:

  Never Attempt to Open or Refill an AGM Battery. One of the greatest advantages of AGM batteries is their sealed construction. That means:
  • No water or acid refills needed.
  • No risk of acid spills.
  • No venting of gases under normal use.
    

         📌 Warning: Adding water or acid can permanently damage an AGM                 battery. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and never                           disassemble the unit.

Uplus AGM batteries are engineered for low maintenance, superior reliability, and long service life. By following a few simple care steps, you can get the most from your investment—ensuring your vehicle starts strong every time, no matter the season.
