An AGM semi-traction battery is a specific type of battery used in applications where a long-lasting power source is needed, such as maritime applications, recreational vehicles, campers, caravans, and solar energy systems. Here is some information about AGM semi-traction batteries:

AGM stands for Absorbed Glass Mat, which refers to the construction of the battery. In an AGM battery, the lead plates are impregnated in fiberglass mats that are soaked with electrolytes. This electrolyte is "absorbed" into the fiberglass mats, allowing it to be retained within the battery. This creates an advanced technology that is leak-proof, low-maintenance, and vibration-resistant.

The term "semi-traction" indicates that the battery is suitable for applications requiring regular deep discharge and recharge but does not demand the same intensity as a full traction battery. Semi-traction batteries are designed to be repeatedly deeply discharged and then recharged, making them suitable for applications where long-lasting power sources are needed.

The advantages of AGM semi-traction batteries include:

  1. Deep discharge: AGM semi-traction batteries can be deeply discharged repeatedly without negatively affecting the performance or lifespan of the battery. They can supply a significant portion of their capacity before needing to be recharged.

  2. Low maintenance: AGM semi-traction batteries have a sealed construction, making them leak-proof and requiring little maintenance. They do not need to be refilled with water and require no special ventilation.

  3. Vibration resistant: The AGM construction with fiberglass mats makes the battery resistant to vibrations, making them suitable for use in vehicles and maritime applications where vibrations may occur.

  4. Fast charging capability: AGM semi-traction batteries generally have good charging efficiency and can be charged quickly, reducing the downtime of vehicles or equipment.

When choosing an AGM semi-traction battery, it's important to consider specifications such as capacity, voltage, and dimensions to ensure the battery is suitable for the intended application. It is also advisable to consult the battery manual for specific recommendations regarding use and charging procedures.
