EFB batteries in Kenya

An EFB battery is an improved version of the traditional flooded design, with stronger plates and additives that let it handle far more charge and discharge cycles. It sits between a standard battery and a full AGM unit.

Carmakers fit EFB to smaller start stop models that do not have brake energy recovery. You can move up from EFB to AGM, but you should not drop from AGM down to EFB.
