# VARTA ProMotive AGM Batteries > VARTA ProMotive AGM truck batteries: AGM technology and reinforced construction for the most demanding working conditions and power consumption. **Category:** [Start](https://baterias.com/gb/beginning) → [Batteries](https://baterias.com/gb/batteries) → [VARTA batteries](https://baterias.com/gb/batteries-varta) - **Canonical URL**: https://baterias.com/gb/batteries-varta-promotive-agm - **Language**: en-GB ## Description 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 ## The range in figures References 2 Capacity 170 – 210 Ah Cold cranking 1000 – 1200 A (EN) Voltage 12 V Technology AGM ## 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. ## VARTA ProMotive AGM: the truck battery for Start-Stop and Live-Load The **ProMotive AGM** series is VARTA's premium commercial-vehicle range: the glass-fibre mat absorbs the electrolyte (Absorbent Glass Mat), making it spill-proof and multiplying cycle resistance. It is built for trucks with **Start-Stop**, long hibernation and **Live-Load** engine-off consumption: tachograph, GPS, telematics and refrigeration stay powered through rest breaks without leaving you unable to start. ### ProMotive AGM models Code Ah CCA Application L4 95 AGM 95 850 Heavy van Start-Stop L5 110 AGM 110 950 Mid rigid truck D5 180 AGM 180 1100 5/6-axle tractor unit D6 210 AGM 210 1200 Heavy sleeper-cab tractor ### When a truck AGM is worth it - **Long-haul tractor units with sleeper cab**: fridge, heater and electronics all night (D5 180 and D6 210 AGM). - **Trucks with advanced Start-Stop** and brake energy recovery. - **Heavy Start-Stop vans** on intensive delivery: L4 95 AGM. - Fleets with always-on telematics and tachograph suffering deep discharges. ### How to choose your ProMotive AGM Confirm capacity (Ah), cranking power (CCA), dimensions and terminals of each code in our [battery comparator](/gb/comparator): the AGM must fit the original tray and cover your cab's real consumption. ## VARTA ProMotive AGM frequently asked questions ### **What is the difference between a truck AGM and an EFB?** An AGM holds the electrolyte in a glass-fibre mat: it is sealed, spill-proof and withstands deeper discharges and far more cycles than an EFB. It is the choice for advanced Start-Stop and heavy engine-off loads. ### **What is Live-Load consumption on a truck?** It is the electrical load that stays active with the engine off: tachograph, GPS, telematics or refrigeration. The ProMotive AGM is sized to feed it through rest breaks and still crank the engine without trouble. ### **Does a truck AGM battery need maintenance?** No. Being sealed with absorbed electrolyte it needs no topping up or special venting, and can be mounted tilted without acid leaks. Just recharge it with an AGM-compatible charger.
