BATTERY, AGM – 95-AH
AGM battery
12-volt/95-AH
Details and Technology
A more powerful 12-volt/95-AH AGM battery is fitted instead of the standard 12-volt/100-AH battery.
The AGM battery is provided with absorbing glass fleece which contains and ligates the acid. Therefore,
in case of battery box damage, the internal design makes it less likely for the fluid to leak out.
Benefits and Arguments
• Resistant against total discharge (deep discharge feature)
•
Cycle resistant
• Maintenance free
• Electrical system designed for more demanding requirements through increased power
•
More reliable starting in winter
The AGM battery is designed for heavier-duty requirements, e.g., for frequent starting in short distance
operation (cycle resistant) or for supplying a large number of electrical special equipment items. It is
also recommended for operation in extreme climates, e.g., when the air conditioning in the passenger
compartment is used. The AGM battery is smaller and lighter than common batteries, due to the fact that
the energy density is increased.
Remarks
AGM 95-AH battery (BCY) is required with Rear Heavy-Duty Air Conditioning (HBD).
