Man, when an AGM battery quits it just lays down and dies all of a sudden.

Yes, they do at that!
The ONE downside of them. The upside is the 7+ years I usually get for a life.

Only got about 4 out of this one.
The one I have came filled and sealed, the replacement I got came with electrolyte in bottles and I had to fill it. Both AGM.
Filled the new one and it's HOT! I hope that's normal. It said it was fully charged when I bought it but I didn't see where it said it needed to be filled.Greg

Tis normal for batt. to get HOT after being filled and activating. After it's cooled down, check that its static voltage is at least somewhere near 12.7-12.9v.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.Comment

Beings AGM type batteries use an Absorbant Glass Mat to slow down electron flow, that's what they will do consistantlyOriginally posted by BA80 View PostMan, when an AGM battery quits it just lays down and dies all of a sudden.

Also that voltage check as stated is to be done AFTER eliminating the 'surface charge'. This is done by using a test lite or similar across poles of battery to eliminate the surface charge. Remember too, that whatever that static charge voltage is initially, is also all the higher the charging system will bring battery back up toOriginally posted by motoman View Post

They really shouldn't. They're very similar in nature, as they're still lead acid batteries. LiPo batteries however do die instantly.Originally posted by BA80 View PostMan, when an AGM battery quits it just lays down and dies all of a sudden.1979 XS1100F

I had one do the same thing. Fired up ok at work, voltmeter showed ok. Went into store. Came out and nothing😱. Wouldn't even take a jump.When a 10 isn't enough, get a 11. 80g HardbaggerComment
