I tested the battery before fitting it in case I had to charge it and it was showing one hundred percent it has being on my car about four months now and and starting great no more fault lights on the dashboard.The car's original battery was over eight years old and causing no problems but the recent cold snap made me decide to preempt any issues and get a new one. In batteries with AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, special mats of very thin glass fibers lie tightly between the lead plates of the battery and all the electrolyte. In these cases we will either have the product sent direct to you from our suppliers or they will be sent to us to forward on to you. Slightly more expensive than some of the others, but I always believe you get what you pay for anyway. Here, the electrolyte is held completely in an absorbent mat of very thin glass fibers, allowing larger quantities of energy to pass through.

AGM technology (Absorbent Glass Mat): acid bound in micro glass fibre mats allows higher energy masses to pass through. AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology from Bosch is the leading technology on the market for the most exacting requirements.
