Frequently Asked Questions | Stop-Start Car Batteries Sydney
What's the difference between EFB and AGM batteries?
EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) is an improved version of traditional flooded batteries with thicker plates and better cycling capability—suitable for most Asian-brand start-stop vehicles. AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) uses absorbed electrolyte technology for superior performance, longer life, and better deep-cycle tolerance—required for European luxury vehicles and heavy electrical demand. AGM costs 20-30% more but lasts longer (4-5 years vs 3-4 for EFB).
Can I buy just the battery without installation?
Yes, batteries are available for purchase without installation at our Summer Hill (26 Liverpool Road) and Kingsford (479 Anzac Parade) stores. However, we strongly recommend professional installation—especially for vehicles requiring battery registration (European brands). Installation ensures correct fitment, proper terminal connections, and battery coding where needed.
Do you deliver batteries?
Yes, we offer battery delivery across Inner West and Eastern Suburbs Sydney. Delivery fee $50-80, or choose our all-inclusive mobile battery replacement service (battery + delivery + installation) for best value. Same-day service available—typically 1-2 hours from order to delivery.
How do I know which battery my car needs?
Provide your vehicle registration number or VIN, and we’ll look up the exact battery specification. Alternatively, check your current battery label for group number and specifications. If you’re unsure, visit our stores and our staff will identify the correct battery for your vehicle—no guesswork involved.
What warranty comes with stop-start batteries?
We provide 24-26 month manufacturers warranty for stop-start batteries. Warranties are typically pro-rated after the initial full replacement period (usually 12-24 months depending on brand). We provide warranty documentation and assist with claims if needed during battery life.
Can I use a standard battery instead of EFB/AGM?
Absolutely not. Standard batteries fail within 6-12 months in start-stop applications (compared to 3-5 years for correct type). Using wrong battery type may void vehicle warranty, causes start-stop system malfunctions, and creates false economy—you’ll replace the battery 3-4 times more frequently, costing more in the long run.
