Inspecting Your AGM Deep Cycle Battery

Modified on Fri, 15 Sep, 2023 at 11:26 AM

Before delving into complex troubleshooting procedures, it's important to conduct a simple inspection of your deep-cycle battery. The exterior of the battery can display early warning signs of failure, making it a good place to start. Ensure that the battery's top surface is free of dirt and dry. Dirt and dust can cause the battery to discharge, creating problems. Additionally, it's crucial to check for broken or loose terminals, which can be hazardous and lead to short circuits. Flooded deep-cycle batteries require checking for leaking and damaged battery cases, which may have resulted from overcharging or overheating. However, AGM deep-cycle batteries are designed with glass mat technology, which prevents leakage, even when the battery is damaged. Although cracks and holes may not prevent deep-cycle batteries from operating, they can be dangerous, so it's best to discard any batteries with significantly damaged cases.
