Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)
AGMs are lead-acid batteries built to withstand rugged conditions. The sealed batteries capture electrolyte in fiberglass mats between lead plates, making them spill-proof and functional in any orientation. AGMs also have a lower internal resistance, offering the best power efficiency for your vehicle. Because they can handle frequent deep discharges and recharging cycles, they are also useful in automotive stop/start applications.

Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB)
EFBs are an enhanced version of conventional FLA batteries. They are designed to offer better performance and durability at a lower price point than AGMs. EFBs are sealed, maintenance-free and spill-proof, with extra plate protection inside to increase cycle life.

Flooded Lead-Acid (FLA)
Flooded (or wet cell) batteries contain a liquid mixture of sulfuric acid and distilled water. Because of their availability, cost-effectiveness and reliability, they are still the most common battery type for a wide range of automotive applications.

Lithium
Lithium batteries are the next generation of battery power. Due to their higher energy density, they can store more energy per unit of weight than other types of batteries. Additionally, lithium batteries are lighter and have a lower self-discharge rate compared to other battery types.

Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA)
SLAs, also known as valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, are a variation of traditional FLA batteries. The key difference is that they are sealed and do not require watering.
