nickers Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 My dad came home and suprised me with a new deka intimidator 9a31 AGM battery. Im sufficiently jacked up to say the least. However i have no experience with AGM's and i wanna make dis bitch last long time, and to have it reach its peak output. Whats the first thing you should do when you get an agm?

iKidwell Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 bash it with a sledgehammer, resting voltage goes up A LOT Quote c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinWilson Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Do you have an AGM Battery charger? Step 1, charge it with a agm charger, then install it, preferably with only agm batteries.

nickers Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) i have a battery charger that does "maintenance free/Deep cycle" and "low maintenance". it does 2 amp, and 15 amp battery charges, however its not one of those smart charges where it turns off when the battery is fully charged. by me not knowing what do with it first, straight from the store, i mean do i charge it or run it down then charge it Edited June 17, 2011 by nickers Quote chevrolet all day er day.

Supercharged DCs Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I'm assuming the battery charger isn't made for AGM. I've heard it's not a great idea to charge with a non AGM charger. You can just stick it in the vehicle and let the alternator charge it if you have NO access to a AGM charger. That's what I did Quote Bassless once again.

siccostyle Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Check the voltage if its below 12.6 charge it. If not throw it in you ride and go. Get a AGM charger though. Specially if you want to take good care of it. Should probably start thinking about getting a AGM for your starter batt too.

P4killer_ Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 fyi umm i agree AGM over a regular charger, but I would at least charge it some... the difference being a reg charger is bulk charge only. but i know from experience putting a dead or close to dead bat in ur car takes a toll on the alt. in my cars ive owned its noticeable, how the car starts, alt whine, voltage levels etc.. and every shop ive ever been to for any electrical issue always asks about the extra bats and whether or not i charged em first.. just make sure the resting voltage is around 12.5 and you should be ok to pop it in imo Quote Setup: 2010 Hyundai Elantra Factory Unit via 4 chan NVX LOC Excessive Amperage "H/O" Alt Xs D3400/ Xs XP3000 Big 3. 2 Runs of +, 2 Runs of - DD M3b and 2 12" AQ HDC4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
