Increased dynamic charge current acceptance over standard wet-flooded batteries (+170%), due to improved design including special Carbon additives and high charge acceptance envelope type separators Also known as AFB (Advanced Flooded Battery) and ECM (Enhanced-Cycling-Mat) Yuasa EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) Ideally, most motorists would assume a typical flooded battery would suffice but this is not the case. An EFB battery is required. Our Snappy Start maintenance-free 110 leisure battery models combine the best of both worlds with a sealed, leak-proof unit, a four-year professional warranty and advanced performance properties. The Benefits of Using a Quality 110 AH Leisure Battery The AGM batteries utilises the same absorbent glass mat technology as used in Yuasa Motorcycle and Industrial batteries which have been on the market for over 44 years (1965). This absorbent glass mat absorbs the battery’s acid, enabling a more efficient use of the cell’s volume without the need for electrolyte reservoirs, as needed with conventional flooded batteries. The absorbent glass mat gives a number of key benefits to the design of the lead acid battery:

A. Many people have the impression that when batteries sit on concrete the energy “leaks out”, the truth is that you can let any modern battery sit on concrete without fear of harm or accelerated self discharge. complete, switch your smart charger off and wait at least five minutes to allow any gasses to clear This also means that no free liquid will come out if the battery casing is broken. However, AGM batteries may have issues with extreme heat due to how little electrolyte is flowing through them. In short, no. 110 AH leisure battery units and car batteries work very differently and aren't interchangeable unless in an emergency. AGM, or Absorbed Glass Mat,batteries work just like standard batteries, except they have a fibreglass mat between the negative and positive plates. The electrolyte passes through the mat in a controlled manner without any danger of flooding it.

On average, EFB batteries provide up to 85,000 engine starts while standard wet-flooded batteries have a max of 30,000 engine starts. By approximation, EFB batteries provide up to 50,000 more engine starts than the standard flooded batteries. Cars with an extended automatic start-stop system are equipped with an AGM battery. Only an AGM battery may be used as a replacement. What is the reason for the restricted choice of battery? data-parent="#accordion-3">

How long a leisure battery lasts will depend on many variables, and these include:

• The power requirements of a vehicle’s electrical consumers
• Whether it’s been used on or off grid
• Length of trips away and subsequent usage
• Usage with high-power consumers such as motor movers
• How well it has been maintained

While many presume a battery is a ‘fit and forget’ product, in reality, it requires A. Providing that the battery is kept in a charged state, it can be stored without any fears of freezing. Conventional lead acid leisure batteries are considered to meet the demands of entry level to mid-range applications. Subject to the application, a durability range of 70 to 360 cycles @ 50% DOD is common. Recent investment and developments in micro hybrid automotive technology, which bears similar requirements to the leisure market, has resulted in improved conventional leisure battery durability.

Gel batteries are more critical to correct charging as overcharge can lead to the gel being irreversibly damaged, AGM are not subject to this failure mode and hence are more suitable for automotive use.

Benefits and Drawbacks of EFB Batteries

Yuasa’s world leading motorcycle and industrial AGM (absorbent glass mat) technology comes to the automotive market. The Yuasa automotive AGM battery has been engineered to meet the growing extreme power demands of recently introduced vehicles now starting to enter the European aftermarket. Yuasa’s automotive AGM experience comes from vehicles such as the Mazda MX5 and the famous Toyota Prius and has now been launched for European vehicle battery designs. For example, your car may have been functioning perfectly well for years with an AGM battery. It wouldn’t make sense to switch it to an EFB then, as it may work best with the type it came with. However, you can always upgrade your standard battery for either one to see some improvement. Start-Stop Functionality It is general practice to market leisure batteries with some indication of the number of cycles that the battery can achieve at 50% state of charge. By design, increasing the number of cycles given by a battery (life and durability, rather than start-ability) involves the following:
