## AGM Start-Stop vs EFB in urban fleets

The light urban transport challenge is not raw power — it is **repetition**. A taxi or a delivery van does 200-300 cranks a day. Conventional SLI loses 30-40% of capacity in under 18 months on that profile. **Reinforced AGM Start-Stop** is designed precisely for repeated partial cycling and holds performance well past 4 years. **EFB** is the mid-tier with better cost-per-cycle for fleets with lower auxiliary load.

### Typical capacities

Vehicle Capacity CCA Technology
Fleet taxi car 70-95 Ah 720-850 A AGM Start-Stop / EFB
Last-mile delivery van 95-110 Ah 800-900 A AGM Start-Stop / EFB
Urban microbus 8-15 seats 110-130 Ah 900-1,000 A AGM Start-Stop
Electric minibus (12 V auxiliary) 95-150 Ah 800-1,000 A AGM Start-Stop

### Frequently asked questions

### **Why does a classic SLI not fit a fleet taxi?**

The crank count. AGM Start-Stop is designed for 360,000+ partial cycles — classic SLI does not reach 30,000.

### **Is EFB as good as AGM?**

EFB is fine if the vehicle has no regen braking or active management. With heavy auxiliaries (microbus, minibus), AGM always wins.

### **How long does shipping take?**

Standard delivery **1 to 5 working days** to your country. We process orders within 24h.
