EFB Technology Advantages (Stop-Start)

This battery uses EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) technology designed for modern vehicles with stop-start systems and higher electrical loads.

  • Stop-Start Ready: Built to handle frequent engine cycling without rapid wear.
  • Higher Charge Acceptance: Recharges faster during short trips and city driving.
  • Improved Cycle Life: More durable than standard flooded batteries for repeated starts.
  • Reliable Everyday Power: Supports accessories like infotainment, safety systems, and sensors.

💡 Pro Tip: If your vehicle is factory stop-start (EFB), always replace with EFB or AGM to avoid warning lights, poor stop-start performance, and reduced battery life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this battery fit my vehicle?

If your vehicle uses the JIS D23L (EFB) size and you match the terminal layout and dimensions listed above, this battery should fit. Always confirm against your current battery label, battery tray, and terminal position.

What does 660 CCA mean?

CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) measures starting power in cold conditions. A higher CCA helps deliver reliable starts when temperatures drop and when your vehicle has higher electrical demand.

How long will this battery last?

EFB batteries commonly last 3–5 years depending on driving habits, climate, and electrical load. Frequent short trips, stop-start use, and long idle periods can reduce lifespan.

What warranty comes with this battery?

For private use in stop-start applications, ACDelco lists a 24-month warranty period (terms apply). Keep proof of purchase and ensure the vehicle charging system is operating correctly.
