Vehicle Applications & Key Use Cases

hAGM is designed for vehicles that place higher demands on the 12-volt electrical system and require reliable operation under frequent electrical demands. It is particularly suited for:

HIGH ELECTRONIC CONTENT

Supports electronic systems and important vehicle functions, including when the vehicle is not actively driving. Supports reliable electrical operation for important vehicle functions, including connectivity features and over-the-air updates.

EXTENDED PARKING

Supports vehicles that rely on the 12-volt battery to power electronic systems during extended parking periods.

FREQUENT SHORT TRIPS

Improved dynamic charge acceptance supports faster energy recovery during short charging periods, including operating conditions with frequent short trips or limited charging time.

START-STOP APPLICATIONS

Supports reliable electrical operation and improved dynamic charge acceptance in start-stop applications.

HIGH CYCLING DEMAND

Up to 4x improved cycling performance versus flooded batteries supports longer life under repeated discharge and balanced performance in demanding applications.

ALL POWERTRAIN TYPES

Designed to support all types of powertrain, with strong performance in hybrid, start-stop and advanced power systems.
