Batteries with modern technologies such as EFB and AGM are monitored by a battery sensor and are closely linked with the battery management system (BMS). If a wrong battery is used, this can cause deficiencies in the automatic start-stop system, failures of comfort functions and reduced service life of the battery. When is a change from EFB to AGM recommended? For example, if your car has a stop-start system, then you’ll need either an EFB or an AGM battery. Only these battery types work with stop-start functionality. Built for excellence, the Exide EFB Battery Type 096 combines advanced features and fantastic durability to ensure your vehicle starts with confidence, every time. With its Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) technology, this battery offers a remarkable ability to withstand heavy electrical loads and repeated charge-discharge cycles, making it an ideal choice for vehicles with advanced start-stop systems. This myth stems from the days of the old wooden/glass case batteries, where damp floors led to water soaking up into outer wooden cases causing swelling of the wood. In fact with modern batteries in hard plastic cases, concrete is generally an excellent surface on which to store a battery. The key issue is that the floor should not have any sharp objects which may damage the battery casing; there are no electrochemical reasons.

The sealing vent used in the design ensures that a positive internal pressure is maintained to ensure the recombination of the gasses occur and not allow the cell ?to dry out and fail. Introducing the Exide EFB Battery Type 096 - the powerhouse to power your vehicle's performance and reliability. Designed with cutting-edge technology and outstanding craftsmanship, this battery is engineered to exceed expectations and deliver optimal performance in the most demanding situations. EFB batteries are a further development of conventional lead-acid batteries. The Polyvlies material on the surface of the positive plate guarantees that the EFB has a longer service life. EFB batteries have a low internal resistance and are characterized by twice the number of charging cycles* in comparison with conventional starter batteries, as well as a high load capacity. Also known as AFB (Advanced Flooded Battery) and ECM (Enhanced-Cycling-Mat) Yuasa EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) The entire range are produced on the same production lines that manufacture batteries for Original Equipment, using the same technology, man power, equipment, controls and quality inspections approved by the car manufacturers to whom they are supplied.

Powerline EFB batteries ( Enhanced Flooded Battery) are designed for providing the best performance for popular start-stop vehicles as well as general vehicles that require this specialist technology such as 'hybrid' vehicles. They have more battery life compared to regular WET lead acid batteries, superior in starting power, excellent charge acceptance and cycle life. It is always common practice in most cases to replace EFB technology for EFB technology. Features a voltage Indicator Eye, case hold downs and a sturdy handle. The AGM batteries utilises the same absorbent glass mat technology as used in Yuasa Motorcycle and Industrial batteries which have been on the market for over 44 years (1965). This absorbent glass mat absorbs the battery’s acid, enabling a more efficient use of the cell’s volume without the need for electrolyte reservoirs, as needed with conventional flooded batteries. The absorbent glass mat gives a number of key benefits to the design of the lead acid battery: Increased dynamic charge current acceptance over standard wet-flooded batteries (+170%), due to improved design including special Carbon additives and high charge acceptance envelope type separators Our dependable 096 EFB batteries from leading brands Yuasa, Duracell and Shield provide superior cycling performance, high charge acceptance for rapid recharge in between engine off modes and the extra power to run on-board electrics whilst the engine is switched off.

A. You can let any modern battery sit on concrete without fear of harm or accelerated self-discharge. Concrete is generally an excellent surface on which to store a battery. The key issue is that the floor should not have any sharp objects which ?may damage the battery casing; there are no ?electrochemical reasons. When replacing a type 096 EFB battery it is important to keep to the original battery technology. If the vehicle has Start-Stop technology and is fitted with an EFB battery it MUST be replaced with an EFB battery of correct specification, the same goes for AGM batteries.If you want to know what Battery fits specifically to your car, have a look at our VARTA Battery Finder. Faulty products will be replaced as soon as we are able to verify the fault and ship another to you. All in all, for these reasons, the best 096 car battery will be an AGM (what are the best AGM battery brands). Alpha Batteries bears no responsibility for whatsoever for loss occurred due to late or failed deliveries. A. 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). As an approximation, EFB batteries will provide 270,000 engine starts, compared to 30,000 starts from standard flooded product.
