Can you mix agm and lead cell


Recommended Posts

He'll be fine. Just keep the wet cell battery under the hood, and the AGM in the cabin or trunk. The problem is each battery rests at different voltages and the one that rests lower will leach the higher resting voltage. Don't store the car for more than 2 weeks or so with the batts connected, as said above.

They are both in the trunk. I am well aware of the process of degradation here, just wanted to make sure it would be fine as a daily.

o.k so i am facing the same situation here with my build.. i have 12 agm group 31 batts and 4 non agm 200ah batts, my car will only be for shows and demos and being a van i am limited to alt power so i wanted to add the extra batts for reserve capacity... if while in between shows i disconnect the non agm batts and use the intellicharger for top up charging i should be o.k?

its worth it to do it right the first time or risk blowing up an amp or worse

In what possible way can mixing the batts blow an amp.... Please explain..

I'm still waiting to hear how you could possibly blow an amp "or worse" by mixing the batts

Have you ever had your woofers blown?
