Understanding Car Battery Types: Which One Do You Need?

Not all car batteries are the same. Understanding the differences helps you make the right choice.

Battery Types

• Flooded (Conventional) — The most common type. Affordable and reliable for most vehicles.
• AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) — Better for vehicles with start-stop technology and high electrical demands. Longer lifespan.
• EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) — A middle ground between flooded and AGM. Good for start-stop vehicles.
• Gel Battery — Best for deep-cycle applications. Less common in regular cars.

How to Choose

Check your owner's manual for the recommended battery type and size. Consider your driving habits and electrical needs. When in doubt, our experts at Battireo can help.
