USER INFORMATION

GEL BATTERIES
A gel battery is a lead calcium battery with positive and negative plates immersed in a gelatinous
solution. It is hermetically sealed and requires no maintenance. These batteries are usually used in
intense conditions. Their strength makes them particularly suited for motorcycles, off-road vehicles,
operating machinery and boats.
STANDARD LIQUID/WET BATTERIES
A standard liquid/wet battery is a lead battery with positive and negative plates immersed in a water
and sulphuric acid solution. They may be sealed or fitted with caps for maintenance. This is the most
commonly used battery in the car industry.
EFB BATTERIES (also known as AFB or ECM batteries)
An enhanced flooded battery (EFB) is an advanced lead battery with positive and negative plates
immersed in a water and sulphuric acid solution with special additives (e.g. carbon) and envelope
separators. They are usually sealed batteries. This type of battery is the most commonly used in the
low-end Start & Stop car industry.
Their benefits compared to conventional flooded batteries include increased deep-cycling performance.
AGM SPIRAL BATTERIES
Gas recombination batteries (AGM) are continuous band batteries in which the same plate, electrolyte
solution and silicon and polymeric fibre separators are rolled in a spiral. They are maintenance-free, with
a high starting surge designed specifically for extreme and heavy-duty conditions. They can withstand
deep charge-discharge cycles.
