The start-stop system in modern vehicles is designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle is idle, such as at traffic lights or in stop-and-go traffic. However, this frequent starting and stopping places significant demands on the battery. This is where the EFB Start-stop Battery comes into play.
EFB batteries are an enhanced version of traditional flooded lead-acid batteries. They are specifically designed to handle the increased stress of start-stop systems. Here are some of the key features and advantages of EFB Start-stop Batteries:
1. Improved cycling performance
EFB batteries have a higher cycling capacity compared to standard batteries. They can withstand the repeated charge and discharge cycles associated with start-stop systems, ensuring longer battery life. This is achieved through the use of improved plate materials and construction techniques.
2. Enhanced charge acceptance
Start-stop systems require the battery to quickly accept a charge when the engine restarts. EFB batteries are designed with enhanced charge acceptance capabilities, allowing them to recharge quickly and efficiently. This helps to ensure that the battery is always ready to power the vehicle's electrical systems.
3. Resistance to deep discharge
In start-stop applications, the battery may experience deep discharges due to the frequent engine starts. EFB batteries are more resistant to deep discharge than standard batteries, reducing the risk of battery failure and providing better reliability.
4. Thermal stability
EFB batteries are designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures. They have improved thermal stability, which helps to prevent damage from overheating or extreme cold. This makes them suitable for use in various climates and driving conditions.
5. Cost-effective solution
Compared to more advanced battery technologies such as Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries, EFB batteries offer a cost-effective alternative for start-stop applications. They provide many of the same benefits at a lower price point, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.
SHENGLONG EFB battery supports all vehicles with or without a start-stop system and with high cycling requirements. The battery offers unparalleled energy recovery and excellent dynamic charge acceptance when installed in cars with a stop-start system, and an overall longer life when installed in cars with conventional powertrains.
SHENGLONG partial charge and deep cycle performance is twice that of ordinary lead accumulator. Supports more frequent engine starts and extended idle time; Strong charging acceptance capacity; Improved design improves thermal stability for engine cabins and hot climates; With certain energy regeneration ability, it is a good choice for standard and entry level start-stop function cars. It uses double volt grid technology, such as highway type current path design, and the current concentration area is reinforced, bolded, to achieve excellent conductivity.
