# Car batteries equipped with start stop system > EFB and AGM batteries for Start-Stop cars with or without regen braking. Varta Dynamic SLI, Tudor EFB/AGM Microhybrid, Exide Premium **Category:** [Start](https://baterias.com/gb/) → [Battery brands](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-brands) → [Starter Batteries](https://baterias.com/gb/starter-batteries) - **Canonical URL**: https://baterias.com/gb/car-batteries-equipped-with-start-stop-system - **Language**: en-GB ## Description More than 150 **Start-Stop batteries**, EFB and AGM, from Varta, Tudor and Exide, 50 to 110 Ah, with live prices and stock. Start-Stop puts the battery through dozens of cycles a day: a conventional one lasts months; an EFB or AGM lasts years. If your car came with AGM from the factory it must get AGM. If it came with EFB you can fit EFB or upgrade to AGM. Enter your plate and we tell you which; cars with battery management may need the new battery registered. ## EFB vs AGM in Start-Stop **EFB** is the direct upgrade from SLI: thicker plates, reinforced separators, double the cycles. Good for basic Start-Stop on superminis and compacts without energy recovery. **AGM** wraps the electrolyte in a fibreglass mat, tolerates 90° tilt, is spill-proof and triples SLI cycle life. It's mandatory for Start-Stop with regenerative braking (BMW EfficientDynamics, Mercedes BlueEFFICIENCY, Audi e-tron quattro, Volvo Drive-E) and strongly recommended on cars with heavy electrical loads (premium audio, heated seats, dashcam). ### If your car came with AGM, never downgrade to EFB or SLI The vehicle's charging system is calibrated for the AGM profile. Dropping technology burns out the battery within months and can disable electronic features (comfort locking, parking sensors, dashcam). ### Compatibility and how to choose the right Start-Stop battery Enter your **make, model, engine and year** in our [plate-based battery finder](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-finder-by-plate) or use the [comparison tool](https://baterias.com/gb/comparator) to confirm whether your car needs EFB or AGM, and compare capacity (Ah), cranking current (A/EN) and dimensions before buying. ### Leading brands - [Varta Dynamic EFB](https://baterias.com/gb/batteries-varta-dynamic-efb) - [Varta Dynamic AGM](https://baterias.com/gb/batteries-varta-dynamic-agm) - [Tudor EFB / AGM Microhybrid](https://baterias.com/gb/batteries-tudor) - [Exide Premium AGM](https://baterias.com/gb/batteries-exide) ## Frequently asked questions about Start-Stop batteries ### **How long does a Start-Stop EFB or AGM battery last?** An EFB typically lasts 3-5 years and an AGM 4-6 years under normal use, depending on climate and driving habits. ### **What happens if I fit a conventional SLI battery in a Start-Stop car?** It degrades within 6-12 months because it isn't built for the frequent, deep stop/start cranking cycles. ### **How do I know if my car needs EFB or AGM?** It depends on whether Start-Stop includes regenerative braking (then AGM) or is basic (EFB); check the original battery's label or enter your plate in our finder. ### **Does a Start-Stop battery need coding or a reset after replacement?** Many German vehicles (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW) require registering the new battery in the energy-management system; check the manual or visit a garage. ### **Is any AGM Start-Stop battery compatible across brands?** It must match the original in capacity (Ah), cranking current (A/EN), dimensions and polarity; our plate-based finder shows the compatible references.
