Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM)

Johnson Controls is the leading supplier of AGM Start-Stop batteries to power Start-Stop vehicles through our VARTA® brand.

We supply more than 4.5 million Start-Stop batteries per year in Europe. The global OE market could reach 35 million by 2017. In response, Johnson Controls is investing $520 million globally to grow capacity:

 

  • $280 million in Germany for 11 million capacity
  • $140 million in U.S. for 6 million capacity
  • $100 million in China for 2 million capacity

 

AGM technology is ideal for Start-Stop batteries

Absorbent glass mat (AGM) technology is the key to today’s most advanced lead acid batteries.
1. Glass fleece separator, like a layer of thick wrap, holds the battery’s acid around the positive grid.
2. Tight-fitting components reduce vibration and exert uniform, high pressure on the block of plates.
3. Spill-proof battery delivers extreme cycle life and unprecedented energy throughput.
