You think high-performance batteries are only for start-stop vehicles? Let yourself be surprised! EFB and AGM batteries offer a whole range of benefits that can take your car to the next level - regardless of whether it has a start-stop function or not. Let's delve deeper into the world of modern batteries and discover why they can be a worthwhile investment for every driver.

Why conventional batteries are reaching their limits

Before we look at the advantages of EFB and AGM batteries, let's briefly understand why conventional batteries often reach their limits in modern everyday life.

Many start processes

Every start puts a strain on the battery. Especially in city traffic or on short journeys where the engine is frequently started and stopped, this can lead to faster wear and tear.

Load with motor switched off

Modern cars are packed with electronics that require power even when the engine is switched off. These include, for example, alarm systems, clocks, radios and navigation systems. This constant load can age conventional batteries more quickly

Cold

Especially in winter, when temperatures drop, it becomes difficult for batteries. The chemical processes take place more slowly, which leads to lower performance. This can lead to the car starting less easily or the battery running down more quickly.

Start-stop batteries: The solution for modern challenges
Start-stop batteries, such as EFB and AGM batteries, have been specially developed to meet the challenges mentioned above.
They offer a number of advantages that also make them interesting for cars without a start-stop function.

Upgrades and high-tech equipment: the EFB battery

Have you retrofitted your car with a powerful sound system, auxiliary heating or other power-hungry extras? Or do you drive a modern vehicle with extensive safety and comfort features such as driver assistance systems, heated seats or a large touchscreen display? Then the intAct start-stop EFB is an excellent choice for you.

The advantages of EFB and AGM batteries at a glance

Longer service life

Thanks to their high cycle stability, EFB and AGM batteries last significantly longer than conventional batteries. This saves money and protects the environment.

Better performance in cold weather

Even at low temperatures, EFB and AGM batteries reliably deliver high starting currents and ensure that your car starts without any problems.

Reliable power supply

Modern cars require power for various functions even when the engine is switched off. EFB and AGM batteries provide a reliable power supply even when the engine is not running.

Faster charging

Thanks to their special design, EFB and AGM batteries can be charged faster than conventional batteries. This is particularly important for short journeys, as the battery often has little time to charge.

More environmentally friendly

EFB and AGM batteries are generally maintenance-free and have a longer service life. This means fewer battery changes and therefore less waste. In addition, their improved performance in start-stop systems helps to save fuel and thus reduce CO2 emissions.

Conclusion: More power for every car

EFB and AGM batteries are not only a good choice for start-stop vehicles. Even if your car does not have a start-stop function, you can still benefit from the many advantages of these modern batteries. They offer a longer service life, better performance in cold weather, reliable power supply, faster charging and are more environmentally friendly.

So if you're looking for a powerful and long-lasting battery for your car, you should definitely consider EFB and AGM batteries. They are an investment worth making - whether you do a lot of city driving, have upgraded your car with additional equipment or simply want the best for your vehicle.

Remember: When choosing the right battery, you should always follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. If you are unsure which battery is right for your car, we will be happy to advise you.
