Use the Battery Finder to confirm fitment by make, model, and year, or match your existing battery's specifications: voltage (typically 12V for vehicles), capacity in amp-hours (Ah), cold-cranking amps (CCA), physical dimensions, terminal type, and terminal polarity (positive on the left or right). The Yuasa YBX code, Bosch S-code, or BCI group number on your existing battery can usually be matched directly to a replacement. For older plant or agricultural machines, WhatsApp 07754288583 with the make, model, and a photo of the existing battery and we can confirm compatibility.

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries are sealed and spill-proof, with high cranking and fast recharge — ideal for start-stop and high-load electrical systems. EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) upgrades the flooded design for better charge acceptance, suiting mid-range start-stop and short-trip patterns. Standard flooded lead-acid is the most affordable option for older or non-stop-start vehicles, with slower recharge and shorter typical lifespan. Replacing AGM with standard flooded on a start-stop vehicle will fail prematurely; replacing standard with AGM is fine but costs more than necessary.

No — starter batteries (SLI) are designed to deliver high current in short bursts to start an engine, then recharge fully from the alternator. Leisure, marine, and solar applications need deep-cycle batteries that can be repeatedly discharged and recharged without degrading. AGM dual-purpose batteries handle moderate cycling. For full deep-cycle use, choose a dedicated leisure or traction battery — Numax DC range, Lucas AGM, or US Battery deep-cycle.

Refunds are issued to the original payment method once the return is inspected.

Delivery time depends on the product, your destination, and availability — the estimated time for any item appears on the product page, and 'Check where we deliver' confirms coverage for your postcode before you order. Next-day delivery is available on most products; the option appears at checkout when applicable. We deliver across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Use the country selector at checkout to confirm coverage and delivery options for your destination.

Voltage is the system voltage (12V for most cars, 24V for HGV and plant, 6V for some agricultural). Ah is capacity, current delivered over time. CCA is cold cranking amps at -18°C, the starting current. Case dimensions (L x W x H), terminal layout and polarity must match the vehicle tray and cable runs. Match all four against the existing battery label.

Flooded is the conventional wet-cell, used in non-stop-start vehicles. EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) is for entry and mid-range stop-start. AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) is for premium stop-start and high-electrical-load with regenerative braking. AGM can replace EFB on a stop-start vehicle; the reverse is not always supported by the charging system, check the handbook.

Five checks against the existing battery label: (1) voltage, (2) capacity in Ah, (3) CCA at or above OE, (4) case dimensions and terminal layout/polarity, (5) technology (flooded, EFB or AGM). Don't rely on brand or year alone.

For instant fitment, use Ask Simon on the product page. Each page also carries a Technical Specifications tab (voltage, Ah, CCA, dimensions, terminals, technology, warranty) and a Description tab (vehicle compatibility). Compare With Similar Items lines up candidates side-by-side on capacity, CCA, dimensions and technology.
