Fullriver DCG240-12 in everyday use
Three nights at anchor with the fridge running show quickly what a battery bank can really do. Set the mains charger, the solar regulator and any B2B charger to the AGM profile. Swollen cases call for immediate replacement.
AGM: how it works
Valve-regulated construction keeps an AGM case closed during normal life. Motorcycles benefit from glass-mat batteries because they tolerate lean angles and vibration. Old-fashioned chargers without automatic cut-off are a poor match for glass-mat batteries.
Before you order: a quick checklist
- ✓ Technology to match: AGM. Moving to a different chemistry may need settings changed in your system.
- ✓ Outside dimensions are 527 × 287 × 257 mm. Run a tape measure over your tray or compartment, including the height under the bonnet or lid.
- ✓ Capacity is 240Ah. Aim for the same figure as your old battery or slightly above, never much lower.
