If the vehicle is originally supplied with an EFB battery, an EFB battery can also be used as a replacement. If the car owner requires even greater performance or have a very demanding driving profile with a lot of urban traffic, a powerful AGM battery can be selected.

Feb 4, 2025 · EFBs were designed as a middle ground between standard batteries (which cannot handle the energy demand many modern vehicles have) and absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries, which are powerful but can be expensive. Compared to AGMs, EFBs have a lower cost upfront and a longer cycle life.

Improved flooded battery technology, increasingly referred to as EFB technology in the market, offers a cost effective solution for entry level Start-Stop vehicles. EU emissions targets for these vehicles are lower than those set for higher performance models.

Feb 4, 2025 · An absorbent glass mat (AGM) battery is an advanced battery with absorbent fiberglass separators that absorb liquid sulfuric acid — or the electrolyte of the battery — and store it in a dry state. This makes the battery safer in the event of a collision.

Jan 26, 2023 · With the expansion of Start-Stop engines, almost every new vehicle requires either an EFB or the higher performance AGM battery. Understanding the differences between these two types of batteries will help you choose the best option for your vehicle.

What is an EFB Battery? “EFB” stands for an “Enhanced Flooded Battery”. When compared to a traditional lead acid battery, an EFB provides improved charge acceptance as well as greater cyclic durability. Because of this, an EFB will typically last up to 6 years as opposed to 3-5 years for a traditional lead acid battery.

EFB stands for Enhanced Flooded Battery, and AGM stands for Absorbed Glass Mat. We’ll tell you about how they both work. These two battery types are by far the best equipped lead-acid batteries for modern vehicles with start-stop technology (or is it stop-start…) and power-hungry electronics systems.

Jan 14, 2024 · The choice between an Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) and an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) battery depends on the specific requirements of your vehicle and usage. Both types of batteries have their own set of advantages and disadvantages.

Nov 3, 2024 · EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) and AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries differ in performance based on their design and application, with EFBs offering better cost-effectiveness for standard use and AGM batteries providing superior performance in demanding conditions.

EFB batteries are an enhanced version of standard wet-flooded technology. The primary benefits of EFB technology are improved charge acceptance and greater cyclic durability when operating in a reduced state of charge (typical of Stop Start applications).
