Using it day to day: practical tips
Long-weekend sailors often run the fridge and nav lights all night. Fit a battery monitor with a shunt to see how deep the bank goes each night. Lights that fade by midnight are a sign the domestic bank has lost capacity.
The AGM technology explained
Glass-mat batteries are sealed, with small valves that only open if pressure builds up. Leisure vehicles choose AGM when the battery lives under a seat. Over winter, a smart unit set to its AGM programme keeps a glass-mat battery healthy with no effort.
Make sure it fits your vehicle or equipment
- ✓ This reference uses AGM. If your current battery has a different technology printed on it, find out why before switching.
- ✓ Outside dimensions are 260 × 169 × 215 mm. Run a tape measure over your tray or compartment, including the height under the bonnet or lid.
- ✓ Amp-hours: 70Ah. More capacity means more reserve for accessories and slower discharge when parked.
Your questions answered
How large and heavy is this battery?
Overall it is 260 × 169 × 215 mm (L × W × H) and tips the scales at 24 kg. Weight is a good clue to how much active material is inside.
Will the Fullriver DC70-12 start my car on a cold morning?
70Ah indicates how much charge it stores, 450A how much current it can deliver in a cold start. Both should be at least equal to the original.
Can I connect several of these in series or parallel?
Yes, 12V with 70Ah. Two in series would give double the voltage.
Is AGM the same as the battery I have now?
Look at the sticker on the battery you have now. If it also says AGM, this is a like-for-like choice. If not, check your vehicle or system can handle the change.
