Absorbed Glass Mat batteries use which feature to absorb the electrolyte?

• A. Gel Cell
• B. Flooded Lead-Acid
• C. Absorbed Glass Mat
• D. Nickel-Cadmium

Answer: (C)

Absorbed Glass Mat technology relies on a glass fiber mat placed between the plates that wicks and holds the electrolyte in its pores. This keeps the electrolyte immobilized inside the battery, making it sealed and spill‑resistant, which also supports better vibration resistance and orientation flexibility. In contrast, flooded lead‑acid uses free liquid electrolyte, gel cells immobilize the electrolyte with a silica gel, and nickel‑cadmium uses a different chemistry altogether.
