What is an AGM battery 100Ah?

An AGM battery 100Ah is a specific type of battery with a capacity of 100Ah. Ah stands for ampere hours or amp hour; this value indicates how many amps a battery can deliver in the duration of an hour. This differs from volts, the value that indicates the power of a battery. To make it specific: a 12V battery of 100Ah can supply 100 amps in an hour to a 12-volt device.

AGM is short for absorbed glass mat, and refers to the composition and construction of the batteries. The battery acid in this type of battery is absorbed in fiberglass mats between the lead plates. This prevents leakage and makes the batteries resistant against vibrations and shocks. In addition, the batteries are gas-tight and can be used in any position. Furthermore, they can be discharged deeply without any damage, and can be charged faster than other batteries.

What are 100 Ah AGM batteries used for?

100Ah AGM batteries can be used for a wide range of applications. Since the batteries are almost maintenance-free, they are widely used for devices that stand still for a longer period of time, such as boats, motorhomes and caravans. For these applications, it is also a great advantage that AGM batteries can be mounted in any position and are resistant to vibrations. 100 amp-hours is a versatile capacity that is sufficient for many devices and applications.
