Introduction to advanced battery technologies

AGM and EFB batteries: a leap forward

GS and Yuasa Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) and Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) types are designed to meet the high demands of modern vehicles. These batteries are essential for vehicles equipped with Start - Stop systems, offering significantly higher start cycles and durability.

It's vital to replace your vehicle's battery with the same technology (AGM or EFB) originally installed to maintain emission control systems' functionality and avoid premature battery failure. Incorrect battery replacement can lead to loss of Start - Stop functionality, causing a risk in CO2 emissions, and reduced fuel economy.

Many vehicles fitted with an AGM or EFB battery will require battery validation using an OBD configuration tool after a replacement. See our Yu-Fit page [INSERT for more details.

Maintenance and charging

Both EFB and AGM battery types are designed to be maintenance free, although, as with all batteries periodic charging may be required during times of storage or reduced usage. For AGM batteries it is crucial to use a smart charger compatible with AGM technology to prevent damage and maintain battery health. EFB types can usually be charged on a smart charger’s ‘wet’ battery setting.

Hybrid and electric vehicle battery solutions

GS Yuasa's portfolio extends beyond AGM and EFB to include advanced battery solutions for hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs), employing state-of-the-art lithium-ion technology. These batteries are designed for the high voltage and energy requirements of EVs, offering longevity and efficiency critical for sustainable transportation. To find out more visit ??? PAGE REQUIRED
