Benefits of Dual Purpose AGM Batteries
AGM dual purpose batteries like the D-512-86 combine the advantages of two batteries in one. This reduces the need for separate starter and auxiliary batteries, saving space and simplifying your setup. Its absorbed glass mat technology immobilises the electrolyte, increasing safety, reducing maintenance, and improving resistance to vibration and impact.
The sealed case also prevents gas emissions and eliminates acid spills, making this battery safe for indoor use or confined compartments commonly found in caravans and boats.
Charging and Maintenance Tips
To maximise the lifespan of your D-512-86 battery:
- Use a Smart AGM-Compatible Charger – Multistage chargers maintain performance and prevent overcharging.
- Avoid Full Discharges – Maintain charge levels above 50% when possible for optimal longevity.
- Recharge Promptly – After each use, especially deep discharge events, recharge the battery as soon as possible.
- Monitor Voltage – Keep voltage between 12.7V and 13.8V for healthy operation during float and use.
