What is an EFB battery used for?
EFB is typically specified for entry-level start-stop vehicles and cars with higher electrical demand but without brake-energy recuperation. Replace EFB with EFB or AGM — never with a standard flooded battery.
EFB vs AGM
AGM handles deeper and more frequent cycling in partial state of charge and is required on many advanced start-stop systems. EFB is a cost-effective step up from flooded for basic start-stop.
Check the vehicle manufacturer's specification and the label of the battery fitted.
Battery registration may be required after replacement.

Frequently asked questions
Can a normal battery replace an EFB?
No. A standard flooded battery wears out quickly in start-stop use and the system may disable start-stop.
