Mid-tier upgrade over standard flooded — better cycling for entry-level start-stop.
Choose EFB for entry-level start-stop vehicles without regenerative braking. It cycles about twice as long as standard flooded, at a lower cost than AGM. Browse AGM, EFB, flooded, gel and lithium options →
| Chemistry | Best for | Cycle life | Start-stop | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flooded (SLI) | Older vehicles, standard starting | Baseline | No | $ |
| EFB | Entry start-stop, no regen braking | ~2× flooded | Entry | $$ |
| AGM | Advanced start-stop, regen braking, high loads | ~3× flooded | Yes | $$$ |
| Gel | Deep-cycle: solar, mobility, leisure | Longest lead-acid | n/a | $$$ |
| Lithium (LiFePO4) | Deep-cycle, marine/RV house, weight-critical | Highest (2,000+ cycles) | n/a | $$$$ |
