The Exide range of AGM batteries, are now available to the Independent Aftermarket at prices that are affordable. Start Stop vehicles are making their way into Irish work shops, the 2007 Hyundai i30 to name just one. To meet this new demand, AGM batteries are now been stocked by all leading factors. 

• Flat plate AGM batteries have six sets of plates, with an absorbent glass mat separator containing the electrolyte. They are arranged in a straight line inside the battery (like slices of a loaf of bread).

• Because the plates are compressed in rows, the battery has more capacity, i.e. it uses all of the surface area inside the container, to provide more energy when it’s needed. Plate compression enables longer life, or more total energy usage over time.

• Provides further back-up protection from extraordinary, but unplanned, discharge events (extended airport storage, lights left on or hazard light support, for example).

Exide have also developed an App, Battery Finder, for iPhones and Android smartphones, to help mechanics fit the correct battery in their customer's vehicle. This is the must have app: Simply enter the reg and it will give you back the Make & Model and the battery you require. It even gives you an option whether you need 2, 3 or 4 year warranty battery depending on the use.
