Being of a curious nature and having bought deep cycle batteries for a boat many years back, I was curious to find out if AGM batteries were not available as deep cycle types by reason of their internal make-up. I googled AGM deep cycle batteries and it seems there are many advertised as such...?
I`m no battery expert however as best I understand it deep cycle batteries are designed to hold their charge longer than standard lead acid batteries during periods of inactivity thus perhaps more designed for Boat, caravan and other similar usage situations..?
These days with some vehicles being left unused for weeks if not months at a time, I suspect there may be just a bit more chance of firing it up when needed after lay-up if it has a deep cycle battery fitted...?
With the ability to attach an automatic float charger during periods of lay-up, there seems little requirement to pay extra for a battery with deep cycle functionality..? Or have I got that all wrong..?
