Sarà perchè in catalogo Mazda, su mx5parts e su ilmotorsport ci scrivono che è al gel e, se hai la vecchia non la vai a sezionare per vedere se è AGM o GEL, se hai la nuova men che meno perchè ti serve di montarla sana!
Quando cambiai la batteria della mia ex na,aveva 7 anni,mi presi lo sfizio di "sezionarla",visto che allora nel Passion si discuteva di Gel si o nò,e di GEL non ce n'era,come d'altronde è ben riportato nel link dal forum usa.
For the record, the Miata battery is NOT A GEL CELL.
In 1985, when the Miata was taking shape in Irvine, a new battery technology was being used in military aircraft. The paramount considerations of power, weight, safety, and reliability were the selling points of this new type of battery. The new technology was AGM or Absorption Glass Mat. This technology was an evolution of previous battery technologies, including gel cells.
In AGM sealed batteries, the acid is absorbed between the lead plates and immobilized by a very fine fiberglass mat. This glass mat absorbs and immobilizes the acid while still keeping the acid available to the plates. This allows fast reaction between the acid and plate material. The intimate relationship of the electrolyte-filled mat and the lead plate, allows the construction of a smaller battery, using less electrolyte and metal plates. This means a smaller battery with nearly equal power ratings to a wet-cell battery of larger size and weight.
This Miata battery uses the AGM technology and is manufactured by the Panasonic battery division of Matsushita Battery Industrial of Japan.
