Absorbent Glass Mat Battery, without Visual Indicator
• Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are deep cycle-resistant and leakproof.
• Lead acid AGM batteries are filled with electrolyte contained in an absorbent glass mat. The battery is closed and equipped with breather valves.
• These batteries cannot have a "visual indicator" due to the fixed electrolyte. AGM batteries are marked with "AGM" on the battery.
• AGM batteries cannot and must not be opened and distilled water must not be added.
• Only perform a visual inspection.
CAUTION!
Crash safety is inadequate if the incorrect battery is installed.
• If the vehicle was originally equipped with an AGM battery, another AGM battery must be installed when replacing.
