types of auto batteries
I recently bought a battery charger ---vector model VEC 1095A---at a
yard sale. The instryctions say determine what type battery you want to charge, wet,gel, or agm. Would someone please explain the difference? I assume wet is the one you add water to and gel is the kind without caps. Is this right and what is agm? Thanks for any reply |

Thanks for any reply AGM = Absorbed Glass Mat AGM and Gelled-electrolyte batteries are unspillable and do not have caps. Most (perhaps all) automobile batteries are wet, but not all wet batteries are designed to have water added. Our Chrysler's battery does not have removable caps. Perce |

Perce VIRTUALLY all automotve batteries are wet. Optima are AGM - there are a very few other brands available on the aftermarket - no OEM that I am aware of. Never heard of a GEL automotive battery. |
