[AGM Battery for ISG System]

AGM battery is used for especially heavy load on the vehicle network depending on equipment and requirements. AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Material Battery; that is absorbent glass fiber fleece. AGM batteries are fitted in models with electrical loads/consumers which have a high energy demand.

The constantly increasing energy demand of modern vehicle electrical systems calls for ever more powerful battery solutions.
