Trojan 31agm Battery

Trojan 31agm Battery absorbed glass mat (AGM) maintenance-free batteries feature a number of design elements to provide optimum performance. Robust plates extend the life cycle of Trojan’s deep-cycle AGM batteries and a separator of glass fibers serves to isolate the positive and negative plates while acting as a blotter to absorb the electrolyte. The separator is maintained under compression between plates to assure contact with plate surfaces. A computer-generated grid design is optimized for high-power density and the battery’s flame-arresting, one-way pressure relief vent prevents the buildup of excessive pressure. Trojan’s deep-cycle AGM batteries are low temperature tolerant, shock and vibration resistant, and have low internal resistance for higher discharge current and higher charging efficiency.

The most important characteristic to consider when purchasing a deep-cycle battery for a renewable energy application is cycle life. This is usually measured as the number of discharge/charge cycles the battery can provide before its capacity drops to a specified percentage of its rated capacity (i.e. 50%). Batteries from different manufacturers may have the same capacity and energy content and be similar in weight, but design, materials, process, experience, and quality control have a big influence on how long the battery will cycle. When comparing two batteries of equal Ah capacity and cost, a battery capable of 1,000 cycles is effectively half the total life cost of one that is only capable of 500 cycles
