BATTERY Description and Operation

Description

1. 1
   The maintenance-free (MF) battery, as its name suggests, requires no maintenance and has no removable cell caps.
2. 2
   The MF battery does not require water filling for service.
3. 3
   The battery is fully sealed, except for small vent holes located in the cap.

[AGM Battery for ISG System]

The AGM battery is used for extra-heavy electrical loads in the vehicle network, depending on equipment and requirements. AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Mat; it consists of glass fiber mats. AGM batteries are installed on models with high electrical loads or for customers with high power consumption. The constantly increasing power of modern vehicle electrical systems requires ever more powerful batteries. Power consumption is significantly higher, even when the vehicle is parked. Although the price is higher compared to a battery of similar size, this is offset by the following advantages:

• Much Longer Life
• Improved starting reliability at low temperatures
• 100% Maintenance-Free
• Low risk in the event of an accident (reduced environmental risk)

Charging the AGM Battery: The battery can be charged with a charger with constant voltage of 14.8 V. If possible, keep the battery temperature in the range from 20 °C to 30 °C (86°F) during charging. Only constant-voltage (IU or WU curve) chargers may be used. Used IU or U chargers with slow cycles may be used. IU or WU Charging Method: Charging voltage optimized for IU or WU: 14.7 V (at 20–30 °C - 86°F) for approximately 24 hours. Minimum charging voltage at 20 °C: 14.4 V. Charging voltage at 20 °C: 14.8 V. Recommended charging current is 10% of capacity (e.g., 60 Ah: 10 = load current 6.0 A).
