Not being as experienced as you sir, I now know what an AGM battery is! Good old inter web. Thank you for that, but what is this small secondary battery?

The small secondary battery powers the car only whilst in STOP mode , taking all the load off the main battery , the main battery does the starting ..

Aldi solar charger
We have a C70 which sadly sits most of the year and no garage so on the advice of a Volvo forum member I bought an Aldi solar charger for £24.99 - connected it and put it on the dash.
Works like a charm - the car starts up every time - months apart.

With new cars ( obviously with new batteries ) volvo state that the battery should be charged every 3 months if stored .. there is a ticket in the glovebox which must be signed when this takes place .. I cant see the current generation volvos hanging around for long though :-)
