The majority of contemporary vehicles on the road today are outfitted with absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries because they have long been recognized as the best choice for start-stop vehicles. AGM’s position in the American market, however, is about to be threatened by a recent entrant called Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB).
Infotainment, voice recognition, and anti-theft systems are among the modern conveniences that consumers demand from their vehicles, but their use can be particularly taxing on the batteries that must supply the necessary power. So, the correct battery choice is critical.
AGM batteries have been able to meet the demands made by contemporary cars, but according to recent study, EFB technology actually outperforms AGM products in important categories like battery life and heat tolerance, to name a few. EFB technology is also less expensive than AGM.
