UNDERSTANDING BATTERY TYPES
There are three primary types of batteries; Flooded (Lead-acid), AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)
and Gel Cell (Gelled Electrolyte Lead-acid). Traditionally, the most common type of batteries
used are Flooded (Lead-acid batteries).
Almost all Gel Cell Batteries will state that they are Gel Cell on the battery case or labels.
NOTE: AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries are not Gel (Gelled Electrolyte Lead-
acid) batteries. AGM batteries are charged with a completely different charge profile
when compared to Gel batteries.
For use with Flooded (Lead-Acid) or Gel Batteries. Not for use with AGM (Absorbed
Glass Matt) or 4D or 8D large capacity batteries.
***If you are unsure as to what kind of battery you have, we recommend that you contact
the manufacturer of the battery.
