VARTA ProMotive EFB batteries

VARTA ProMotive EFB: the truck battery for basic Start-Stop

The ProMotive EFB series brings EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) technology to commercial vehicles: reinforced plates and improved liquid electrolyte multiply charge-discharge cycles compared with a conventional starter battery. It is designed for trucks and buses with basic Start-Stop and moderate cab consumption, where a standard SLI ages prematurely.

ProMotive EFB models

When to choose a ProMotive EFB

• Delivery trucks with Start-Stop and frequent restarts in town.
• Urban and intercity buses stopping constantly on regular routes.
• Tractor units with moderate power draw during rest breaks: N9 200 and N9 225 EFB.
• Fleets needing more cycles than an SLI without paying for an AGM truck battery.

Compatibility: find your truck EFB

On a commercial vehicle, the battery tray, height and terminal layout matter as much as the amps. Compare dimensions, capacity (Ah) and cold cranking amps (CCA) of every code in our battery comparator before you buy.

VARTA ProMotive EFB frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an EFB and a conventional truck battery?

An EFB adds reinforced plates and improved liquid electrolyte, so it accepts considerably more charge-discharge cycles and copes better with Start-Stop. On routes with frequent restarts it outlasts a standard truck battery.

Is the ProMotive EFB compatible with a Start-Stop truck?

Yes, that is exactly its role: trucks and buses with basic Start-Stop. If there are long lay-ups or heavy engine-off consumption (fridge, tachograph, GPS), step up to the VARTA ProMotive AGM.

What capacities does the ProMotive EFB range cover?

From 110 to 225 Ah with 800 to 1150 A cold cranking (CCA): from the K8 140 EFB for mid rigid trucks up to the N9 225 EFB for heavy tractor units.
