All you need to know about Yuasa AGM and EFB batteries

With more and more modern vehicles featuring emissions reduction technology such as start-stop, battery replacement has become more complex and time consuming.

On vehicles with start-stop technology it is essential the battery is replaced with one of the correct technology and specification. If a vehicle is fitted with an AGM Start-Stop battery then the replacement must also be an AGM Start-Stop battery, The same applies to EFB products.

Most modern vehicles come fitted with a Battery Management System (BMS) which must be reset through the on-board diagnostics (OBD) port to tell the vehicle when the battery has been replaced. Failure to fit the correct battery or reset the BMS can cause issues such as battery failure and complete loss of start-stop functionality.

On many new vehicles, the battery is not fitted under the bonnet and locating it can take time. The replacement process can also take far longer than on standard ignition vehicles, with some vehicles requiring up to an hour and a half of work.
