Exide AGM GEL BATTERIES Car Batteries
Exide Industries AGMi – Advanced AGM Battery Range for Luxury & Premium Vehicles.
Exide Industries Limited has introduced Exide AGMi, an advanced AGM-VRLA automotive battery range specially developed for modern, high-technology passenger vehicles, including premium and ultra-luxury vehicles.
AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Mat, a technology in which the electrolyte is absorbed into a specialized glass-mat separator. This provides a sealed, spill-resistant and maintenance-free battery design with excellent vibration resistance and high starting performance.
Exide AGMi is designed to meet the increasing electrical and starting-power requirements of today's sophisticated vehicles. The range is available in DIN 50, DIN 60, DIN 70, DIN 80 and DIN 95, covering applications from premium passenger cars to ultra-luxury vehicles.

Replacement for VARTA AGM Batteries
Exide AGMi can be positioned as a premium Indian aftermarket alternative to VARTA AGM batteries, provided the Exide AGMi model matches the vehicle's OEM battery specification, DIN size, Ah capacity, CCA, dimensions, terminal arrangement, polarity and required AGM technology.
This is particularly relevant for BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche and other premium/luxury vehicles where AGM technology is specified by the vehicle manufacturer. However, the replacement should always be confirmed against the specific vehicle's OEM requirement rather than assuming that every VARTA battery can be directly replaced by an AGMi model.
Importantly, Exide's warranty terms specifically state that AGMi batteries are to be fitted only in passenger vehicles where AGM-VRLA batteries have been recommended by the OEM. In short: Exide AGMi is Exide's advanced AGM-VRLA solution for the premium and luxury passenger-vehicle aftermarket and can serve as an alternative to equivalent VARTA AGM applications when the specifications and OEM requirements match.
