AGM Batteries Under Bonnet? Here’s Why AmpTech Changes the Game

Wed, 21 May 2025 01:40:42 GMT

For years, the golden rule in 4x4 and touring communities was clear: don’t install AGM batteries under the bonnet. Why? Traditional AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries simply couldn’t handle the high-heat environment of an engine bay. They’d degrade quickly, cutting short the battery’s lifespan and reliability.

But that’s old news. AmpTech AGM batteries have rewritten the rules.

These purpose-built powerhouses are specifically rated for under-bonnet use, meaning you can now enjoy all the benefits of AGM technology—without the heat-related downsides.

The Camping and Battery Place in Ballina stocks this new enhanced deep cycle battery option.

Why AmpTech AGM Batteries Are a Game Changer

✅ Heat-resistant design – Built to thrive in the demanding conditions of engine bays

✅ Long-lasting deep cycle performance – Perfect for fridges, lights, winches & more

✅ Spill-proof and maintenance-free – Worry-free operation, even on rough terrain

✅ Fast charging + reliable power delivery – Keeps you powered and moving

✅ Ideal for dual battery setups, 4x4s, caravans, and touring rigs

Best of all? No more compromising between starting power and deep cycle reliability—AmpTech AGM batteries are designed to handle both.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Can I really install an AGM battery under the bonnet now?
Yes! Traditional AGMs weren’t heat-resistant, but AmpTech AGMs are specifically rated for under-bonnet installation. They’re built to handle the heat generated by your engine and Aussie heat, wear and tear.

❓ Will it last as long as a traditional AGM battery?
Actually, longer—if you’re using it in the right way. AmpTech AGMs are engineered with enhanced thermal stability, meaning they hold up better under extreme conditions, extending their life where others fail.

❓ Are they suitable for dual battery systems?
Absolutely. AmpTech AGMs are perfect for dual battery setups, offering deep cycle capabilities while still providing enough cranking power for most starting applications. Often we use a Battery Link system so you can link your batteries to get you started if your cranking battery is flat. Think about it as an internal jump start system.

❓ Are they safe to install on their side or in tight spaces?
Yes. They’re fully sealed, spill-proof, and maintenance-free, so you can install them in virtually any orientation—ideal for modern engine bays or custom builds.

❓ What vehicles or setups are they ideal for?
AmpTech AGM batteries shine in:

4x4s
Touring rigs
Caravans & campers
Dual battery systems
Any setup needing tough, dependable power
Ute Canopies

❓ Where to buy the best AGM Batteries?
Contact us to discuss or buy the best AGM batteries in Ballina and the Northern Rivers region . We offer more than the best Deep Cycle battery prices—our team lives and breathes batteries, so we’ll always spec the right product for your needs.

Phone Us �� to discuss or �� Get Directions to the store. You can also �� Submit an Online Enquiry . We offer FREE Car Battery Testing (including 4WDs and SUVs) if you think your battery may need replacing.

Don’t trust just anyone with your Battery Fitment

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 06:05:08 GMT

The Camping and Battery Place is committed to providing comprehensive and professional service to our customers. With the ever-evolving technology in modern cars, ensuring the correct car battery configuration is essential for optimal performance and longevity.

Gone are the days when replacing a battery was a simple swap-out procedure. Modern vehicles are equipped with sophisticated CO2 production control systems, such as smart charging and Idle Start Stop (ISS), which demand precise battery configurations and registration with onboard computer systems.

Car Battery Replacement Experts The Camping and Battery Place uses the best diagnostic tools to ensure your car battery replacement is done right, every time.

Failure to adhere to these specifications can lead to a cascade of issues, none of which are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Potential consequences of neglecting proper battery configuration:

Undercharging or Overcharging: Incorrect battery parameters can lead to undercharging or overcharging, both of which can damage the battery irreversibly. This damage isn't covered by warranties, leaving vehicle owners with unexpected repair costs.
Loss of ISS Functionality: Particularly the Idle Start Stop system, designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency, relies on precise battery parameters. Failure to configure the battery correctly may result in the loss of this functionality, impacting both environmental performance and fuel consumption.
Loss of Non-Critical Vehicle Systems: Many modern cars rely on intricate electronic systems for various functions. Improper battery fitment and configuration can disrupt these systems, leading to malfunctions or failures that compromise the overall driving experience.

Our highly trained, local Battery Experts at The Camping and Battery Place use the best-in-class diagnostic tools and the right battery every time. The BT608 battery diagnostic tool is a great example of what Battery Traders uses. It is a leading-edge solution designed to streamline the configuration process for vehicles equipped with smart charge and ISS systems. This tool plays a pivotal role in ensuring:

The vehicle recognises the installation of a new car battery.
The charging system adjusts to accommodate the new battery's characteristics.
The vehicle utilises the correct charging parameters tailored to the new battery.

The BT608 isn't just a configuration tool; it's a comprehensive diagnostic powerhouse. From testing 6 & 12V batteries using adaptive conductance to analysing 12 & 24V charging/cranking systems and even reading and erasing basic non-critical error codes, this tool offers unparalleled versatility and functionality and is best practice.

If you need a new car battery for an ISS Stop Start or smart-charge car battery replacement, ask what diagnostic tools they use. Unfortunately, some car battery shops will fit what they have and hope for the best.

By being informed about the advanced tools and techniques employed during the installation process, your vehicle and battery will last longer and not cause any unintended consequences.

In today's fast-paced automotive landscape, staying abreast of technological advancements isn't just our promise; it's a necessity. With the BT608 and highly trained battery technicians, your car battery replacement is assured, warrantied, and registered. Choose the best car battery replacement, choose The Camping and Battery Place with the best battery prices.

Brass Monkey Fridges - It's time to chill 🧊

Mon, 28 Aug 2023 02:09:17 GMT

Need a portable 12V Fridge Freezer, check out our Brass Monkey products.

Brass Monkey Fridge/ Freezers have built a reputation on reliability and value for money. Now we can add innovation into the equation.

It has often been difficult to run a car fridge/ freezer without the car or 4WD.

Often people have invested in battery boxes but even with Lithium Batteries, this is a cumbersome proposition when you don’t have your vehicle near-by but want the flexibility of cold food and drinks (think Beach, Jetty and other locations). All that has changed, with specific Brass Monkey Fridge/ Freezers coming with optional onboard batteries and solar charging.

Simply unplug your new 12v fridge/ freezer from your car, or mains power and off you go. Options even come with wheels. This means NO MORE MELTING ICE and complete freedom to move around without being connected to 12v or 240v power.

The most popular 45 Litre Solar-powered Fridge/freezer is called end-tow, meaning it has wheels on the end (as opposed to the side or side-tow fridge). It is a great all-rounder and most common 4WD fridge/freezer size. Apparently very useful at Music Festivals (we are told).

45 Litre Fridge Freezer Key features & options:

Optional battery backup, Solar charge controller w/ Barrel socket

LITHIUM BATTERY SPECIAL

Insert this 7.8Ah lithium battery into a compatible Brass Monkey Fridge/Freezer and power it independently from a vehicle. Lightweight, yet powerful, it simply snaps into a dedicated internal battery cradle.

Taking a fridge on a picnic, fishing on a riverbank, keeping a fridge in easy reach on a work site or running a fridge for extended periods where vehicle power is not available, is a great reason to add a dedicated lithium battery to a compatible Brass Monkey Fridge/Freezer. The battery fits into a dedicated battery cradle installed in the fridge and then it is ready for independent operation.

We also have an amazing range of AGM and Lithium batteries in stock that can run these great fridges! We can recommend the right battery for your needs.

Not all car batteries are made equal and not all car battery fitments are easy.

It is also very important to protect your electrical equipment during battery installation.

Modern vehicles are very different to your old car battery needs now your car is equipped with on-board computers that run the entire Eco centre of the car and engine. Sometimes your Engine Management System (EMS) needs to be reset. Care should be taken when fitting a car battery to ensure your onboard computer is not damaged.

Some cars need specialist batteries, such as a Stop/Start Battery Replacement, which are very different to your normal car battery. Fitment is also more technical and demanding.

Leave it to the experts and pay nothing – we are highly trained to ensure your car battery replacement and fitments are done using the right memory minders, scan tools and expertise. If you need a car battery installed, contact us for FREE Battery Installation* using your local Ballina Battery Experts. We will also check to ensure all your Battery Cables, Battery Terminals, Cable Lugs, Battery Terminal Bolts or Wingnuts, Battery Box, Battery Brackets, and Battery Tray are all sound, clean and operational. If they need replacing, or cleaning, we can do that also.

We have batteries for all budgets and offer FREE Car Battery Installations* This includes 4WD Batteries.

Don’t risk doing it yourself ! Many Car Battery Shops will sell you a battery to take home and some do car batteries as a side to their normal business. We do Batteries first and foremost. With decades of experience, the right battery technology and the best battery prices, the choice is easy.

Free* expert battery fitment with your battery purchase.

*Ts&Cs Apply. Free installation on most vehicles. Additional costs may apply for difficult fitments and will be quoted in advance.

The risks of fitting your own car battery

Sun, 07 Aug 2022 05:59:57 GMT

Mistakes can often be made when changing your own car battery.

Car batteries can generally last for five years provided they are given proper maintenance. Its longevity is however also dependent on other factors such as the climate, the vehicles operation, how you use your vehicle (start regularity & distance travelled). Overcharging or undercharging the battery can also cause premature failure.

Before you consider doing it yourself, think of the following :

Do I have the necessary safety gear ?

Am i strong enough to lift the battery out and a new on in ?

Am I technically savvy to complete this ?

Do I have the necessary tools and devices ?

Am i prepared to accept the consequences if things go wrong ?

Is it just easier to get it done by the experts ?

Firstly, using a voltmeter, test the battery voltage, then start the car and test that the alternator is charging the battery correctly. Often people replace a battery due to a faulty alternator. If you have decided that it is your battery, then ensure you have a memory minder that ensures your vehicle retains its electronics and data before removing the old battery. The biggest risk with changing over a car battery is when trying to disconnect the dead battery in the wrong order. Before changing your car battery, you should ensure that the new battery you are replacing it with is fully charged. Then start with disconnecting the negative cable first followed by the positive cable. Undo any of the hold down clamps/brackets and ensure they are well clear of the battery terminals to avoid an accidental short. Be very careful not to drop or misplace the nuts. Lift the dead battery by removing it in an upright position. This is to prevent its acidic solution from leaking out. Respect the weight of the product when lifting as often its in an awkward position and can easily cause an injury to your back or hands. Place the old battery in a safe place to avoid contact with acid residue. You can then place the new battery at the position of the former one.

So wouldn't it be easier to just just call into the Camping and Battery Place in Ballina and get your vehicle electrics tested to ensure the correct solution is provided.......and without getting your hands dirty ! We can also dispose of your old battery safely and environmentally friendly for free.
