Differences Between AGM and EFB Start-stop Batteries

In the automotive world of today, start-stop is a technology that has found an integrated place in many cars to help conserve fuel and minimize the carbon footprint. At the heart of this system is an essential ingredient: the battery. Not just any battery either, but one that has been specifically adapted to accommodate all the repeated stopping and starting. For drivers and companies, the number one key toward informed decision-making is knowing the differences between the two primary types of deep cycle batteries — AGM versus EFB. Quality and clarity in an ever evolving market is the promise of Jozoking (Tianjing) Technology Co., Ltd.

Understanding AGM Battery Technology

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) is a superior type of start-stop battery, heavy duty and perfectly meets the needs of modern vehicles. This technology features a unique fiberglass mat to suspend acid for between the battery gauze. This is a very heavy duty design that will directly result in performance and reliability increases. AGM batteries are designed to withstand the high energy requirements of today's vehicles. Not only do they handle the constant restarting of the engine well, but they also provide juice to a multitude of power accessories — such as infotainment systems and climate controls — when the engine is off. They excel at deep cycling and rapid recharging, and are most suitable for vehicles that have features like an advanced start-stop system and high regenerative braking.

Exploring EFB Battery Technology

EFB is the upgrade version of flooded battery. By using technological improvements in the plates and electrolyte, EFB batteries feature much better performance than their standard cousins. They are made to withstand the abuses of repeated engine starts. For vehicles with standard start-stop system and without regenerative braking or electrical load management as well some of the advanced models, EFB technology is dependable and affordable. It's a good compromise between the two with more cycling capability than conventional and less expensive performance than AGM.

Pick the Best Battery for Your Car

AGM vs EFB – It is not about which one is better overall, but rather which is best for your particular vehicle. In general, AGM batteries are meant to be used in vehicles with more advanced electrical systems as well as additional energy recovery capabilities. An EFB might die early in an application like that. On the other hand, EFB batteries are perfect for cars with standard start-stop systems, offering reliable performance and best-in-class value. At Jozoking (Tianjin) Technology Co, Ltd., we believe that you should consult the manufacturer guidelines of your vehicle to determine the compatibility with your vehicle and or any other aftermarket parts. The right battery goes a long way towards preserving your motor vehicle's capability to run, even as the miles go by.
