Traditional starting batteries — most affordable, proven, ideal for standard vehicles.
Choose flooded for older vehicles without start-stop, where the battery sees only a one-second start draw then sits float-charged. It matches AGM's starting performance at a lower price, with no cycle-life penalty in that role. Browse AGM, EFB, flooded, gel and lithium options →
| Chemistry | Best for | Cycle life | Start-stop | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flooded (SLI) | Older vehicles, standard starting | Baseline | No | $ |
| EFB | Entry start-stop, no regen braking | ~2× flooded | Entry | $$ |
| AGM | Advanced start-stop, regen braking, high loads | ~3× flooded | Yes | $$$ |
| Gel | Deep-cycle: solar, mobility, leisure | Longest lead-acid | n/a | $$$ |
| Lithium (LiFePO4) | Deep-cycle, marine/RV house, weight-critical | Highest (2,000+ cycles) | n/a | $$$$ |
