Abbreviations.......WTH does that mean?

[steve69]

Would all Forum posters who begin a thread on Motorhome fun Pleeeeeeze state what any abbreviation you use means when posting your piece?
Google doesn't have all the answers. I get frustrated when an example like"AGM battery" comes up. You only need to state what the abbreviation means once. The 1st posting can then be referred to as the abbreviation is used elsewhere...Is this too much to ask. Us lesser experienced mohomers will learn much faster then. Thank you all.

 

[DavidG58]

And WTH is ?

 

[Yorkshire Puds]

Lol

 

[M-J]

Absorbent Glass Mat IIRC

AGM Absorbed Glass Mat, a battery technology in which the acid is held in a glass mat. Generally rubbish batteries when used as leisure or stop/start as they fail prematurely

MOTORHOME JARGON A GLOSSARY OF MOTORHOME TERMS

12-Volt DC - A motorhome’s electrical system. 12-volt direct current is supplied by on board batteries to run the lights, fridge, stereo, radio, water pump, fans and other equipment. 240AC - This is the electricity that the motorhome receives...

Is that just another way of saying lead-acid battery, or am I totally out of touch with the selection of leisure batteries these days.

As much as a chicken egg and a goose egg are both eggs.

So basically your asking for a dictionary of TLA's

 

[TheBig1]

yes it is a derivative of a wet lead acid battery, so are Gel batteries where the acid is held in a gel rather than liquid. We have relied on the very basic design of battery with an acid bathing the anode and cathode for a very long time. The invention of lithium batteries is a huge leap forwards

 

[Spriddler]

IIRC it's Advanced Glass Mat.
OTOH I may be wrong but I can check with SWMBO as ISTR she's WFH.

HTH.

 

[TheTwoOfUs]

You forgot to add IMHO.

They are similar but differ slightly internally. This site has a quick explanation of the common types:
