Batteries
The NITE unit requires four batteries that meet the following specifications:
-
AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)
-
Deep Cycle
-
Group 27 or Group 31
The newer type of sealed non-spillable maintenance free battery uses "Absorbed Glass Mats,” or AGM separators between the plates. This is a very fine fiber Boron Silicate glass mat. These type of batteries have advantages over gelled and can take much more abuse. AGM Battery will not leak acid if broken.
