Choosing between AGM and EFB is not about price; it is about your vehicle's electrical architecture. Installing an EFB in a car designed for AGM is a recipe for system failure.
Technical Thresholds
- AGM: Required for vehicles with regenerative braking and complex BMS. High cycle life.
- EFB: Ideal for entry-level Start-Stop systems without braking energy recovery.
