FAQs
Enhanced flooded batteries (EFB) are car batteries designed to allow them to function in start-stop vehicles. They have a distinct chemical paste material and other internal features that equip them for high charge acceptance and a deep reserve capacity. That’s how EFBs withstand rapid recharging and discharging from vehicles with regenerative braking.
Enhanced flooded batteries use the same charging profile as flooded batteries. We recommend the Interstate Guardian 1 to recharge your EFB.
When charging a battery, ensure your charger is compatible with the battery’s design, be it AGM, EFB or flooded. Using an unsuitable charger could damage the battery or reduce its lifespan.
Enhanced flooded batteries are still wet-cell batteries, despite their deep cycle capacity and comparably high charge acceptance. They still have free-flowing liquid inside.
AGM batteries, common in modern vehicles, have a distinct internal design with no free-flowing liquid. It’s all absorbed into fiberglass mats, making them well-suited to more strenuous applications. AGM batteries also require a special charger. EFBs do not. Learn more about the differences in this article.
