Description
Flooded batteries with liquid electrolyte are designed for ordinary cars without a Start-Stop system. The EFB Stop&Go version has reinforced plates and withstands frequent engine starts in city driving. In the AGM Stop&Go the electrolyte is held by a glass fibre separator, so it tolerates deep discharges better and is needed by cars that received AGM at the assembly line. The Truck version is intended for trucks, buses and special vehicles, and the HR for hot climates, where water evaporates faster under the bonnet and the plate grids corrode. The batteries are made at two plants, in Črna na Koroškem (Slovenia) and Probištip (North Macedonia), each with a capacity of up to 3 million pcs per year.
How to choose
The technology is determined by how the vehicle works with the battery. On a car with factory Start-Stop, EFB Stop&Go is fitted, and where AGM was fitted at the factory it is replaced only with AGM Stop&Go, because a flooded battery quickly loses capacity in this mode. For trucks and buses the Truck version is taken, for the south and for equipment working in heat the HR version. Starter batteries are not suitable for electric warehouse equipment, which needs Motion traction monoblocs, for example Motion BCI with pasted plates for deep discharge.

FAQ
How does EFB Stop&Go differ from AGM Stop&Go?
The EFB remains a flooded battery with reinforced plates for frequent starts. In the AGM the electrolyte is bound in a glass fibre separator, so it withstands deep discharges and energy recovery better.
Can an ordinary flooded battery be fitted to a car with Start-Stop?
It is not advisable, because frequent stops and starts cycle the battery much harder than an ordinary start, and it quickly loses capacity. For such cars the range has EFB Stop&Go and AGM Stop&Go.
What are the HR starter batteries for?
The HR is designed for a hot climate. High temperature accelerates water evaporation and grid corrosion, so this version is taken for hot regions and vehicles with a hot engine compartment.
How many starter batteries do the plants of this range produce?
The plant in Črna na Koroškem produces up to 3 million pcs per year, and so does the plant in Probištip. Serial production on such a scale simplifies the unification of batteries for a vehicle fleet.
