AGM and EFB (Stop Start Compatible) Batteries

Newer vehicles are packed with fuel conserving features and require the correct battery to operate as the manufacturer designed it. It is important to remember to replace your vehicle's battery with a like for like replacement - even if your model doesn't have stop/start, or you simply don't use the feature, your car may have been factory equipped with an EFB or AGM battery and designed around it with ECU managed sophisticated battery monitoring.

EFB (Enhanced Flooded Batteries) are much more robust versions of the wet batteries you may be familiar with. They are designed to tolerate frequent restarting of the engine, increased electrical loads when the engine is not running during idle stop start operation, and higher charge acceptance capability to recharge rapidly, ready for the next time the engine turns off in traffic.

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries have been around for a while, offering spill-proof gel technology and support for even higher electrical loads.
