Quads used for feeding livestock start on cold mornings. Wash any acid spills with plenty of water. A cracked case from a fall means immediate replacement.
How AGM batteries work and how to look after them
Compression inside the case is part of what makes glass-mat batteries so sturdy. Premium cars with lots of electronics usually come with AGM from new. Leaving a glass-mat battery flat for weeks invites sulphation.
