Does Lexus use AGM batteries?
Yes, Lexus vehicles do use Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. AGM batteries are a type of lead-acid battery that are commonly used in many modern vehicles, including Lexus models, due to their improved performance and durability compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.
What are AGM Batteries?
AGM batteries, or Absorbent Glass Mat batteries, are a type of sealed lead-acid battery that use a fiberglass mat to hold the electrolyte in place. This design offers several advantages over traditional flooded lead-acid batteries:
- Improved Vibration Resistance: The fiberglass mat helps to hold the battery plates in place, making AGM batteries more resistant to vibration and shock.
- Faster Recharging: AGM batteries can be recharged more quickly than flooded lead-acid batteries.
- Reduced Maintenance: AGM batteries are sealed and do not require periodic watering like flooded lead-acid batteries.
- Better Cycle Life: AGM batteries can typically withstand more charge/discharge cycles than traditional lead-acid batteries.
These features make AGM batteries well-suited for use in modern vehicles, which often have more electrical accessories and higher power demands than older cars.
Why Does Lexus Use AGM Batteries?
Lexus, as a luxury automotive brand owned by Toyota, has adopted the use of AGM batteries in many of its vehicle models. There are several reasons why Lexus chooses to use AGM batteries:
- Improved Performance: The enhanced vibration resistance, faster recharging, and longer cycle life of AGM batteries help to ensure reliable starting and power delivery in Lexus vehicles.
- Reduced Maintenance: The sealed design of AGM batteries eliminates the need for periodic watering, reducing maintenance requirements for Lexus owners.li>
- Compatibility with Electrical Systems: Lexus vehicles often have advanced electrical systems and features that require a more capable battery, which AGM batteries are well-suited to provide.
By using AGM batteries, Lexus is able to offer its customers a more reliable and low-maintenance battery solution that supports the advanced features and performance of its luxury vehicles.
