VARTA ProMotive AGM Batteries
ProMotive AGM is the most durable industrial vehicle battery in the VARTA catalog, designed for the truck with the highest electrical demand and the toughest working conditions.
Technology
Combines AGM technology with reinforced industrial vehicle construction. The electrolyte retained in glass fiber eliminates stratification and allows repeated deep discharges without degrading the plates; the internal fixation supports vibration levels that would render a conventional battery unusable. It is completely sealed, so it can be mounted in positions where an open battery would not be acceptable.
Applications
- Trucks with intensive electrical equipment in the cab
- Vehicles with hydraulics, cranes or platforms
- Refrigerated transport and special vehicles
- Fleets looking for the longest replacement interval

How to choose
It is the option with the highest initial cost and the most cost-effective when the vehicle operates for many hours with the engine off or on routes with severe vibration. Check the housing: the high capacities of this range are physically large.
Naming and equivalences
ProMotive AGM retains its designation. It is the most durable vehicle battery in the VARTA catalog, surpassing ProMotive EFB and ProMotive SLI.
Frequently asked questions
When is a ProMotive AGM justified?
When the vehicle spends many hours with the engine off consuming electricity, or operates on routes with severe vibration. Its initial cost is higher, but the replacement interval is extended.
What advantage does AGM have over EFB in trucks?
The electrolyte retained in glass fiber eliminates stratification and tolerates repeated deep discharges without degrading the plates. Additionally, it is completely sealed, allowing it to be mounted in positions where an open battery would not be acceptable.
Does it withstand the vibration of heavy transport?
Yes. It combines the reinforced internal fixation of the industrial vehicle with the AGM construction, which does not have free electrolyte that could move.
Does it require a special charger?
No, it is charged with the vehicle's system. For external charging, it is advisable to use a charger with an AGM program, which limits the final voltage.
