If you apply the rules of BS EN 50342, the graph shows the battery is exhausted at 160 cycles, but the Korean Battery company go on counting the cycles right down to 50% capacity. I will take that as another success for our efforts. Hopefully things will now change and the NCC Verified scheme front page will also start warning people that AGM batteries should only be used if the Alternator output voltage (most are too low) and the mains charger is optimised for AGM with a specific AGM/Gel/Wet profile switch? We consider that a huge breakthrough in helping to stop people from being disadvantaged by unsuitable battery sales that end up costing the buyer twice as much with half the life. That warning has never before been published by a Magazine or Club. "In general, it's probably best to avoid AGM batteries unless you are absolutely sure your charger is suitable, as the otherwise excellent performance counts for little if the performance is compromised through damage by inappropriate charging". The CAMC article states something like :. See further down these pages, for our reasons why AGM batteries don't work in motorhomes. For the first time EVER, the CAMC publishes advice to actually avoid AGM batteries in line with our campaign.
