AGM Battery Replacement

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries hold the electrolyte in glass-fibre mats rather than free liquid, making them sealed, spill-proof and maintenance-free. They deliver more power and far better cycling than standard flooded batteries — ideal for vehicles with high accessory loads such as dash cams, fridges and sound systems, and required by many modern European vehicles.

In most cases, yes — an AGM is an upgrade on a standard flooded battery and is compatible with most vehicles. However, vehicles with battery management systems may require the new battery to be registered correctly. Our technicians check your vehicle's requirements before installation to ensure compatibility.

Yes. For vehicles that require battery registration — particularly European brands — our technicians carry professional diagnostic tools to register the new AGM battery to your car's battery management system, ensuring correct charging and continued start-stop operation.

Eligible AGM batteries supplied by MS Road Assist receive a two-year warranty from the invoice date, covering the battery, fitting labour and a warranty return callout subject to the invoice warranty terms.
