Johnson Controls AGM batteries provide superior solutions
It’s a wired world. In fact, it’s hard to find a machine that doesn’t need either a jump-start with an electrical charge or require constant energy to run.
As electrical needs continue to evolve, it’s important that the battery technology used to run engines and other devices evolves, too. That’s why Johnson Controls has championed the use of absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries. Unlike gelled- or liquid-centered batteries, AGM batteries offer superior performance. The Johnson Controls AGM starter battery is factory-fitted to some of the world’s most prestigious automobiles, such as the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley Continental GT, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz SL and Audi A8, in order to exceed the demands of luxury vehicle electrical systems.
Like a Sponge
The key to Johnson Controls’ AGM starter battery performance lies in the use of the absorbent glass mat. The fiberglass mat soaks up the battery’s acid like a sponge, allowing for more efficient use of the small battery space and volume. More efficient use means more starting capacity—there’s a threefold increase in the battery’s cold-start capacity. What’s more, the AGM immobilizes the acid while keeping the acid available to the plates, allowing for fast reactions between acid and plate material. And, because the plates in an AGM battery are tightly packed, these batteries withstand vibrations better than standard batteries.
AGMs also have a very low self-discharge—less than 3 percent per month. That means an AGM battery can sit in storage for much longer periods without charging—unlike other batteries. That’s good news for consumers who don’t use their vehicles often—and bad news for towing companies that charge a premium for battery jump services.
Best of all, the AGM starter battery is leak-proof and maintenance-free.
Better Traction
Like the AGM starter battery, Johnson Controls’ AGM semi-traction battery allows for superior output in environments where a user can’t plug into a main supply. The battery uses the same AGM technology, meaning that it lasts twice as long as a conventional semi-traction battery. And since the AGM semi-traction battery can be discharged to 80 percent, it offers better energy throughput. Couple that with faster—and less—recharging than conventional gel batteries and the AGM semi-traction battery provides a smarter alternative to other transportable electrical options.
