12V and AGM Batteries for Electric and Hybrid Cars

As the automotive industry races towards a greener future, hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and battery electric vehicles (BEV) have taken centre stage.

But the 12V battery still powers essential systems like computers, safety features, and lighting, ensuring smooth operation even when the main battery is low.

Marshall Batteries’ AGM range is designed for the unique demands of hybrid and electric vehicles, offering longer life, enhanced safety, and top performance.

And if you need a reliable 12-volt replacement for your hybrid or EV, Marshall Batteries has the best options to keep your vehicle running efficiently.

Why the 12-Volt Battery is Crucial for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

Contrary to popular belief, the 12-volt battery is not just a relic of traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Without a reliable 12-volt battery, starting the vehicle or accessing these critical systems becomes impossible.

The 12-volt battery is responsible for:

  • Powering essential systems: Supports computers, safety features, entertainment systems, and lighting.
  • Reliable operation: Ensures vehicle starts and systems run even when the main battery is low.
  • Bridging electronics: Connects low-voltage electronics with the high-voltage powertrain.
  • Supporting key functions: Manages charging, regenerative braking, and power distribution.

A reliable 12-volt battery is critical for the overall safety and performance of hybrid and electric vehicles.

Acting as a bridge between the low-voltage electronics and the high-voltage lithium powertrain, your 12-volt battery ensures the proper functioning of the vehicle’s electric control units (ECUs), which manage various functions like charging, regenerative braking, and power distribution.

This makes the quality and reliability of the 12-volt battery a key factor in the overall performance and safety of hybrid and electric vehicles.
