Valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) or absorbent glass mat (AGM) battery without „magic eye“
Valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) or absorbent glass mat (AGM) battery without „magic eye“
t  VLRA or AGM batteries are deep-cycle resistant and leak-proof.
t  VRLA or AGM batteries are filled with electrolyte which is held in place in an „A“bsorbent „G“lass „M“at. The battery is sealed and equipped with valves.
t  As the electrolyte is absorbed in the mat, these batteries cannot have a „magic eye“. Absorbent glass mat batteries are marked with „AGM“ on the battery.
  Note
t  VLRA or AGM batteries cannot and must not be opened and must not be topped up with distilled water.
t  Only perform visual inspections.
  Caution
Fitting a wrong battery will result in poor crash safety.
If a vehicle was originally equipped with a VRLA or AGM battery, only replace the battery with another VRLA or AGM battery.
