GENERAL PURPOSE AGM BATTERIES

General Purpose AGM batteries are the most popular battery type among all lead-acid batteries. They are used in residential applications and industrial applications. For example, if you have a burglar alarm system at home or work, then you probably have a General Purpose battery installed in it for back-up power. If you live in an apartment or work in a building, there are General Purpose batteries installed all around you. Some examples of where these batteries are installed would be in exit signs, emergency lights and fire alarms. The purpose of these batteries is to provide back-up power during a power outage. For instance, if there is a fire in a building and the power goes off, having functional emergency exit signs and emergency lights is critical for a safe evacuation plan. Canbat offers one of the best performing General Purpose AGM batteries in Canada. Remember, Canbat batteries can last for several years, but batteries don’t last forever. Replacing your batteries regularly is important and will help keep everyone safe during an emergency. This applies both at home and work.

AGM is an abbreviation for Absorbed Glass Mat. These batteries have a special sealed design and they are different than the conventional flooded batteries. They do not spill and require zero maintenance since adding water is not necessary. The acid in the battery is suspended in a glass mat separator which makes the cells leak-proof during normal battery operation. We design our AGM range with pure lead to ensure a low self-discharge rate, which requires stored batteries to be recharged only once at least every six months. The series also features an outer container made from ABS material for a heavy duty construction, which makes the batteries suitable for harsh working conditions.
