VIDEO: Understanding Internal Resistance And AGM Batteries
Different internal construction means different resistance. This video is sponsored by Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper.
AGM Batteries And Testing
Two of the greatest changes in starting/charging systems during the past few model years have been the expanded use of the Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) battery as standard equipment and the accelerating pricing structures of both AGM and conventional flooded-cell batteries. In the past, I knew many shop managers who simply replaced any battery that
AGM Batteries And Testing
Two of the greatest changes we’ve seen in starting/charging systems during the past few model years have been the expanded use of the Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) battery as standard equipment and the accelerating pricing structures of both AGM and conventional flooded-cell batteries.
Batteries For Stop/Start Systems
On all stop/start vehicles, the life and performance of the battery are measured by the vehicle in several ways.
Clarios, Altris Partner on Low-Voltage Sodium-Ion Batteries
The companies will develop a Na-ion battery with a potential of up to 60 volts to support automotive applications.
BMW 12Volt Lithium-Ion Batteries
BMW started offering lithium-ion batteries in its F80 M3 and F82 M4 in early 2014.

EnerSys To Sell ODYSSEY Batteries At NAPA AUTO PARTS
ODYSSEY batteries feature a three- to 10-year service life and a two-year storage life at 77°F (25°C).
Separating AGM Battery Facts From The Myths
AGM eliminates acid spilling in an accident because it is sealed. They can be installed at odd angles.
Diagnosing, Servicing & Replacing Batteries
Just last summer, I had three batteries pass a conductance test, but fail to crank the engine on a sustained basis. The conductance tester indicated that these batteries were “good,” but they tested well below 100% capacity. In two cases, I was pursuing parasitic battery drain problems with used batteries. In another case, I had a new battery that would pass a conductance test, but not accept a recharge, said Gary Goms, Import Specialist Contributor.
