This is the only video that explained the difference of these battery types in detail. I've been searching everywhere. Thanks for this well made explanation!
Just paid $180 for a size 94R AGM (800 CCA) battery at Menards after Autozone quoted $200 for a 94R AGM (800 CCA), and $170 for a 94R standard lead acid (800 CCA). Plus the core charge was only $10 instead of $20. Thankfully RUclips videos showed me the MANY steps to replacing the batter in my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L so it was a quick and easy job.
main advantage is that they dont leak. its a justifiable expense for not having a trunk full of acid when slamming potholes, or catching air. I learnt that lesson the hard way.
Great video and explanation. I am going to buy a AGM battery if my 2001 BMW 530i battery ever fails. I am using a PulseTech PowerPulse passive battery desulfator on it to keep it working longer, Pulse Tech states that there patented frequency used to desulfate a battery can extend battery life by up to three times.
I drive a 2005 BMW 530D with original AGM battery at 285 kkm and it still starts up fine. About 6 months ago my car started to loose clock every few days and I suspect the battery is finally on its way out (despite still cranking without issues!). That's nearly 17 years! I bought the car 10 years ago and didn't see battery replacement in BMW history by the previous owner (no battery registration was done on the computer either).
Interesting. I fitted an AGM to my Caterham in 2006 and have just had to replace it. In contrast to yours the Caterham has spent much of its life unused but keeping it on a 13.3v maintenance charger as suggested by the data sheet that came with the battery seems to have been good. The data sheet stated a 12 year life so I'm happy.
My are about 3 years old on my 2020 Ram 3500 6.7.. I ended up here because I'm looking for battery replacement already after only about 3 years 😢 , compare that to 17😒
Normally AGM battery use for stop /start funtion enable cars. What happen if i use normal car (without start/stop funtion) with AGM battery i can use long time or it will damge my electronic parts
Despite the expectations, our Odyssey's original AGM battery lasted just a year and a half. We don't use auto start-stop, so I put in a traditional battery instead. Just a fluke? Not sure, but given that experience I won't be buying anymore AGM batteries personally.
I have a NAPA p/n 9834 AGM battery in trunk mount next to the ATN fuel cell in my Mach 1. NAPA's half the price of an Optima...and you don't get any 2 year-old "new" batteries from NAPA, either. I've seen nearly 3 year-old Optimas sold as new! FYI: Once the acid goes in, it isn't new any more.
hmm very interesting. my new "AMG" battery had a "leak" after 3 months of installation. How does that work since he said it it leaks when it's overcharged? The alternator is too strong?
A group 35 battery from one company costs $78 for the conventional and $155 for the AGM. Twice the price is not justifiable unless it lasts twice as many years.
Im going on my 3rd agm battery in the last 4 years in my 2015 sierra 1500.. dont get an agm if you dont drive the vehicle everyday and let it sit more than a week at a time
@@mazeniedrice-nestant4508 conventional 12.6-12.7volts & AGM a bit higher @ 12.7-12.8volts But that’s both type batteries 1st being fully charged and then sitting idle with charger removed for 8-10hrs with no load to let battery voltage stabilize. Note, when talking Brand new or almost new 12v automotive batteries of both types they can show a bit higher voltages even 8-10hrs off the charger with no load. Happy Motoring!
Bought used Tacoma several years back had AGM battery died 3 years 5months after date of manufacture Put in my my 2015 rx 350 $120 Duracell lead acid lasted 3 years 2 months
I have a 2015 Tacoma TRD 4x4 that I bought used from a Toyota dealership in 2018. Darn Toyota Oem battery they had installed new when I bought it lasted me until now and finally died.
@0:45 "Tilt 1° and the acid would not spilt!" --- NONSENSE! What is 1° Compares to climbing a 20° slope? That means you can't drive your car even on a flat bumpy road? Why buy your batteries?
Well are we getting upset cuz I'm trying to clean the house oh Lord spend a few dollars at Menards no worries fast on our way to the feds just have to figure out how to horse trade with them now looks like the union loses the family loses even co-workers that want to throw shade on the game

AGMs are awesome haven't had a problem starting my car since I installed it.

@Hello there he said it will vent(leak) when over voltage is detected, thus shortening its life.
14.6 - 14.8V. anything more than that and it will vent/leak. If you have over voltage you Alternator Voltage Regulator has gone bad.
I bought fm radio transmitter where can see also the charging voltage 😅. Its too late when the car tells you its too low 😂
Do AGM batteries have slightly higher voltage than a similar counterpart? Like say 13 V+ instead of just 12 or 12.5 V?
Thank you.

Seriously ridiculous
Need a group 35 for my 350z and its 99.99 or like 156.99 for a AGM battery so Im going with cheaper conventional battery. Same 36 month warranty to
Depends on your needs. AGMs recharge faster and do better in cold weather. STOP/START technology requires an AGM.
Im going on my 3rd agm battery in the last 4 years in my 2015 sierra 1500.. dont get an agm if you dont drive the vehicle everyday and let it sit more than a week at a time
Isn’t that the point of an AGM battery that there is less degradation while not being used?
HI.Can you tell me the correct voltage for AGM battery...? Thank you!
12.12

Twice the price and they don't last any longer
"Capacitors"would that be a flux capacitor..🤣
