Yuasa L36-AGM Leisure Battery

Product Information

The amount of power the battery has to run your equipment. The higher the battery’s Ah rating, the longer it will operate your gear. If this is true, dropping the float down from to 13.8v to 13.2v will hamper charging significantly.

A battery discharged to just 25% DOD will have more than twice the cycle life compared to a single battery discharged to 50% DOD, so a pair of Varta/Bosch Powerframes used in this way will deliver nearly 500 cycles, out performing the AGM's 350 cycles by a huge margin. data-parent="#accordion-3">

But regardless of the above and whether we are to be believed, AGM technology hasn't delivered and is being ousted by the newer, more tolerant, lower cost EFB wet Acid Technology. Wet Acid technology is so super durable, the voltage they charge at doesn't need to be stated, they are so tolerant of anything from 13.5v to 14.4v. Allegedly BMW are preparing to do the same. Some BMW Dealers have been replacing failed AGM batteries with a Wet Acid technology version, E nhanced F looded B atteries (EFB), for some years to very good effect.

How to extend the service life of your leisure battery

In which case the time it takes to do that will also depend a lot on the power of the installation, if it is only an 80w Solar panel, it could take quite a while for the charge to make an impact on a discharged battery bank, so it could vary a lot with different set-ups and discharges. But while a tolerant Wet acid battery would accept that, as shown by the Ford Silver wet batteries that survive for years on a peak 16v charge, 18v would degrade a Gel or AGM Leisure battery in months. Leisure and marine batteries are known as deep cycle types. This means they provide long-term energy delivery and are capable of a much greater number of deeper discharge cycles than automotive, or car, batteries. AGM batteries can display deep cycle characteristics in laboratory tests, but only within very narrow confines and limitations of operation which are rarely achieved in the field.
