How AGM batteries work and how to look after them
Open up an AGM battery in your imagination and you would find the acid soaked into thin glass-fibre sheets squeezed against each plate. Alarm panels and UPS units are classic homes for small AGM blocks. Never try to open an AGM battery to add water.
