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.
