Product Information

While you can step up from an EFB to an AGM battery, you shouldn’t take the cheaper option and step down from an EFB by fitting a lead acid battery. Using a lead acid battery can trigger faults with your start-stop system, as well as other features, and the battery’s lifespan will be significantly reduced. What is an AGM battery? Please note : DO NOT fit lower spec batteries, Standard Batteries can be upgraded to EFB alternatives, Always replace EFB with EFB, Always replace AGM with AGM. fitting a lower specification battery or different battery typeto what was fitted by the manufacturer can lead to battery performance issues, charging issues, lessen the lifetime of the battery and will invalidate any warranty offered. Faulty products will be replaced as soon as we are able to verify the fault and ship another to you.

The battery features a strong, ergonomic handle which makes the weighty battery easier and safer to carry and install. Depending on the size, the S4 has a CCA of up to 830 amps, which should be way in excess of what most people will need in the UK. The links we’ve provided are specific, so you might need to have a look for the speicifc size you need. Stop start means that your car’s engine cuts out when you stop to save fuel and cut harmful emissions. A higher quantity of battery plates, and thinner plates, also improve cyclic durability. These factors make it better able to deal with more discharge, and deliver more cycles throughout the lifetime of the battery. Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are the most advanced batteries you’ll find in a car right now, unless you’re driving a plug-in hybrid or a fully electric vehicle. AGM batteries are also suitable for cars with start-stop systems, but they offer the potential for many more starts than an EFB battery and will have a longer service life. As you might expect, they are the most expensive to buy, but their durability could make them the most economical in the long-term. All in all, for these reasons, the best 096 car battery will be an AGM (what are the best AGM battery brands).Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) are a step up from lead acid batteries and are suitable for cars with start-stop systems since they’re able to handle upwards of 250,000 starts in their lifetime. Which might sound like a lot, but start-stop systems can cut the engine dozens of times every journey. Even so, you can expect these batteries to last up to six years – much longer than a lead acid battery. 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. The Yuasa HSB096 Silver 12V Car Battery 5 Year Guarantee is ideal for drivers using one or more plug-in devices, such as phones, cool boxes, DVD players, and Sat Navs, and for drivers using air conditioning. Due to their increased starting capacity (CCA), these batteries are best for cold mornings. Furthermore, this car battery comes with a 3 year warranty as well as exceeding original equipment requirements. This ensures the reliability and performance of this car battery are uncompromising.

AH stands for ampere/hours and can determine how long a battery will last before needing to be recharged. CCA stands for cold cranking amps and, as the name might suggest, indicates the battery’s ability to ‘crank’ – ‘turn over’ or, simply, start – the engine in cold weather. Car batteries go through a lot. They have to deliver enough punch to start your engine every day and they’re responsible for ensuring your lights, radio, heating, electric windows, and sat-nav operate properly. And, all the while, they’re nestled in our cars’ engine bays in extreme heat when the engine’s on in the height of summer, and extreme cold when it’s off in the depths of winter. But the only time most of us give them a second thought is when they’re flat. They only tend to be factory fitted in more premium and high-end vehicles. However, it may be beneficial to switch from EFB to AGM if your car has a lot of on-board tech, or if you frequently make journeys so short that the battery is unable to recharge. When purchasing a Bosch car battery in the U.K., it's advisable to ensure that you choose the correct battery model that is compatible with your vehicle's specifications and requirements. It's also recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for battery maintenance and consider professional installation if needed.
