Extreme car batteries
EFB- and AGM- Technology for stop-start vehicles.
The Duracell Extreme is built for use in environmentally friendly cars which incorporate the stop-start function.
The AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery is mainly used on medium and executive/luxury vehicles, where more complex stop-start functions together with brake energy recuperation are standard.
The EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) is used primarily in medium, small cars and LCV that have only basic stop-start features.
The Duracell Extreme premium products meet the demands of leading car manufacturers, and with a range of five types from 60Ah to 92Ah are the first choice for fuel efficient cars.
Important: When replacing a car battery, it is crucial to match the original battery technology.
If your vehicle has Start-Stop technology and is fitted with an AGM or EFB battery, you must replace it with the correct equivalent.
Never downgrade the battery technology to save money. This will cause the new battery to fail prematurely and will invalidate its warranty. For example, fitting a standard flooded battery to a Start-Stop vehicle will cause it to fail and lead to a loss of key vehicle functions.
Note: Vehicles with CO2 reduction technologies (like Start-Stop and Regenerative Braking) may require reprogramming of the Battery Management System (BMS) to reset the charging parameters for the new battery. Refer to your vehicle's user guide for more information.
