An EFB start-stop battery in the DIN65L case, built for vehicles with standard idle stop-start that need better cycling than a flooded battery can give but do not demand full AGM. Fits mid-size European and Asian passenger vehicles that factory-fitted a DIN65L EFB, covering a wide range of VW, Skoda, Peugeot, Citroen, Ford and Mazda stop-start models. Replaces an EFB like-for-like, and will also replace an older standard flooded in a vehicle that does not run stop-start.

Enhanced Flooded Battery construction uses thicker battery plates and polyfibre separators to retain active material through the partial-state-of-charge cycling that stop-start creates. The case measures 275 by 175 by 175mm, weighs 16.8kg, carries standard tapered terminals in C polarity (positive left when viewed from the terminal face), and uses the side/end hold-down profile that fits most European trays. Flame arrestor, carry handles and recessed posts are built in.

Do not fit this EFB to a vehicle that factory-fitted an AGM. The vehicle's battery monitoring system expects a matched chemistry and will under-charge an EFB in that application. If the vehicle needs battery registration after a swap, run the reset through a scan tool before handing the keys back.

  • EFB construction — thicker plates for stop-start cycling
  • 650 CCA cranking — reliable cold-weather starts
  • 110 min reserve — accessory draw at idle stops
  • 2× cycle life — doubles standard flooded endurance
  • Maintenance free — sealed case, no fluid top-up
  • Flame arrestor — safe under-bonnet venting

Battery registration (BMS reset) is required on most modern stop-start vehicles after a swap. Without it, the charging system keeps calibrating voltage for the age of the old battery and the new battery runs under-charged, which shortens its life.

Required tool: a scan tool capable of writing new battery data to the BMS (Launch X-431, Autel MaxiCOM, or OE service kits).

Elevate's workshop handles the fit and the BMS reset in one visit.

Do not fit this EFB to vehicles that factory-fitted an AGM; the vehicle's battery monitoring system expects a matched chemistry and will under-charge the EFB.

Q: What does EFB mean?
Enhanced Flooded Battery. It is still a flooded (liquid electrolyte) battery, but with thicker plates and additives engineered for stop-start work. EFB sits between standard flooded and AGM in both performance and price.

Q: Can I replace an AGM with this EFB?
No. If the vehicle came factory-fitted with an AGM, replace with AGM. An EFB will physically fit but the vehicle's battery monitoring system under-charges an EFB in an AGM profile, shortening its life.

Q: What is the difference between AGM and EFB?
AGM uses glass-fibre separators to immobilise the electrolyte, which gives it higher cycle life and better charge acceptance for premium stop-start applications. EFB is a reinforced flooded battery with roughly double the cycle life of standard flooded, pitched at mid-tier stop-start work. The vehicle picks the one it needs.

Q: What does CCA mean?
Cold Cranking Amps: the current the battery can deliver for 30 seconds at -18°C without terminal voltage falling below 7.2V. Higher CCA means more cold-start headroom. 650CCA on this battery suits mid-size petrol and diesel passenger vehicles.

Q: What is Reserve Capacity (RC)?
Reserve Capacity is how many minutes the battery can sustain a 25A draw at 25°C before voltage drops below 10.5V. 110 minutes of RC gives this battery enough reserve for infotainment, headlights and accessories during extended idle stops.

Q: Can I fit this in a non-stop-start vehicle?
Yes. An EFB works perfectly well in a conventional vehicle that previously ran a standard flooded battery, and you get the extra cycle life as a bonus. Check the OE case code is a match before ordering.

Q: Does the EFB need a BMS reset?
Most modern stop-start vehicles need the new battery registered to the BMS so the charging system calibrates to a fresh battery rather than an old one. On many Peugeot, Citroen, Ford and VW platforms this reset is required for the stop-start function to stay active.

Q: How long should this battery last?
In stop-start service, three to four years is typical for an EFB. Short-trip driving shortens the life; a weekly longer run or an occasional mains top-up extends it.

Q: Does the battery arrive ready to fit?
Yes, it ships factory-charged. If it has sat on the shelf for a while, we top it up before dispatch. Open-circuit voltage should read 12.6V or higher on arrival; anything lower means it needs a top-up before the first start.
