If you want to reduce fuel usage and lower CO2 emissions, then join the future of stop-start batteries with our extensive collection at Battery2U. We sell brands like Exide, Lucas and Varta.
Stop-start technology is tough on batteries, so your car needs a dedicated stop-start battery rather than a standard starter. Since many modern cars use start-stop systems and regenerative braking to reduce fuel and emissions, including Audi, Volkswagen, and BMW, you need a start-stop battery that’s compatible and eco-friendly.
Our range of start-stop batteries is chosen for UK driving, helping drivers make confident restarts in traffic and providing steady support for modern vehicles. Whether your vehicle specifies EFB or AGM, every auto start-stop battery we sell is designed to handle frequent cycling, rapid recharge, and smart alternator systems without breaking a sweat.
The stop-start car battery will automatically switch off your cars engine when it’s not in use, preventing fuel waste. If you continue to use a conventional battery in a stop-start car, then you’ll quickly experience poor performance or premature failure, leading to frequent battery changes. In fact, conventional flooded batteries lose between 7 and 16% of their available capacity after just one week of being used in a Start-Stop vehicle.
There are two main types of start-stop car battery: EFB (Enhanced Flooded), which suit many entry- to mid-range stop-start systems, and AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries, which are compatible with larger, higher-spec cars with greater electrical loads.
AGM can cope with increased demand from larger, more demanding vehicles, such as SUVS, while EFB start-stop car batteries provide better performance, a longer battery life, and efficiency.
Even when the engine is turned off, the car start-stop battery will keep the auxiliary systems running, including the air conditioner, lighting, and the radio. If you’re unsure which car battery for start-stopsystemsyou need, then check your handbook and under-bonnet label, or speak to us.
