About this item

Product details

Use the battery finder for help selecting the battery you need

More cars are moving to a higher performance battery such as the AGM battery. The Duracell® AGM Automotive Battery is made to handle extreme weather like no ordinary battery can. Use it in SUVs, LTVs, APVs or any car that requires an AGM battery.

What Is an AGM Battery?
Absorbed glass mat, or AGM, battery design allows the electrolyte to wick between the battery plates. There is only enough electrolyte liquid in the battery to keep the glass mat moist. If for some reason the battery cracks, there is not enough liquid to leak out of the casing.

Can You Recharge Duracell AGM Automotive Battery?
The Duracell battery is a fully rechargeable battery. Before recharging, pay attention to the charger type you need to use. Different battery sizes require different chargers. Never leave the battery connected to the vehicle when charging. It is best to remove the AGM battery entirely from the car before joining to the charger. Charge time varies per charger so check the manufacturer's instructions. You do not want to overcharge the battery. Only charge in a well-ventilated area. Note that this is not a deep cycle battery appropriate for marine use.

How Do You Maintain Duracell Battery?
Duracell AGM Automotive Battery is a maintenance-free battery. However, there are some basic things you can do to ensure it lasts. Make sure that you always keep the battery dry and clean. Check the levels in your battery regularly. Never add additives to your Duracell battery. You should also periodically check the charge on your battery to ensure it is working at peak efficiency.

When Do You Recharge Your AGM Automotive Battery?
You will know it is time to recharge your battery if your vehicle does not work. However, you can mitigate this problem if you keep periodically check the battery charge. It would be best if you allowed the AGM battery to discharge to 50% of its charge. Once at 50% or below you can recharge to full capacity and lengthen your battery life.

To have your battery installed, please call your local Tire & Battery Center to schedule an appointment.

Strong battery

Works great with my GM car, reserve and crank power is great. Been two years since I bought the battery, my car has a long crank time and this battery never sounds as if its going to give up. Also It is an AGM so it does not release corrosive vapors like flooded batteries that would slowly rust my hood. Warranty isnt too bad for the Price but would have liked to see 4 years free replacement or some kind of pro rate after the 3 years.

Duracell Platinum AGM 78

Purchased 11/2023 required replacement 05/2024. While at Sam's Club getting replaced. 2 others came in to get their Duracell Platinum AGM's replaced. Looking around while waiting. We saw a cart in the corner tire area, with nothing but used Duracell Platinum AGM batteries on it. Makes you wonder if that was a good decision buying this high end battery. I will say, Sam's club replaced mine at no charge. That is a good thing
