Vehicle Care
Some vehicles are equipped with an
Absorbant Glass Mat (AGM) 12-volt
battery. Installation of a standard
12-volt battery will result in reduced
battery life. When using a 12-volt
battery charger, some chargers
have an AGM battery setting on the
charger. If available, use the AGM
setting on the charger when
charging an AGM battery. Follow the
charger manufacture's instructions.
