What Is the Difference Between AGM and EFB Batteries?

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries use glass fibre mats to hold the battery’s internal fluid in place, making them spill-proof, more durable, and longer lasting. They’re ideal for vehicles with heavy electrical demands or advanced stop–start systems. EFB (Enhanced Flooded Batteries) are an improved version of standard lead–acid batteries. They’re designed for vehicles with basic stop–start systems, offering good performance and a lower cost than AGM batteries.

How Do I Choose the Right Charger for My Battery?

Match the charger to your battery type (standard, AGM, EFB, or deep cycle) and its voltage. Look for features like smart or multi-stage charging to protect and extend battery life. If you’re unsure, check your vehicle manual or ask the Auto One team for advice.
