A. EFB stands for Enhanced Flooded Battery. Unlike a conventional lead-acid battery, an EFB is engineered with a polyester scrim mat bonded to the positive plate, which significantly improves cyclic durability and charge acceptance. This is essential for start-stop vehicles, where the battery must restart the engine dozens of times per journey rather than just once.
A. The Hella HE017 delivers 900A Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) measured to the EN standard. This ensures reliable engine starts in cold ambient temperatures, which is particularly important in a start-stop application where the engine must restart quickly and frequently.
A. The Hella HE017 measures 352mm in length, 175mm in width, and 190mm in height including the terminal. It is housed in a Case L05 format. Always verify these dimensions against your vehicle's battery tray before ordering.
A. The HE017 uses a Type 1 terminal post with Terminal Placement Position 0, meaning the positive terminal is positioned on the left when viewed from the front of the battery. The hold-down configuration is B13. Confirm your vehicle's terminal and polarity requirements before fitting.
A. Yes. Hella's EFB technology is designed to accept charge rapidly, making it compatible with vehicles that employ regenerative braking to recover energy during deceleration. The battery absorbs this harvested energy efficiently and releases it on demand for engine restarts and vehicle electrics.
A. An EFB battery can generally be used as an upgrade replacement in a conventional vehicle, as it offers greater cyclic resilience. However, if your vehicle was originally fitted with an AGM battery, you must replace it with an AGM-specification battery. Always consult your vehicle handbook or a qualified technician if you are uncertain.
A. The Hella HE017 is supplied with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. Retain your proof of purchase for the duration of the warranty period.
A. The cross-reference for the Hella HE017 is 017EFB, also referenced under Hella part number 595 190 090. Use these references to confirm fitment compatibility with your vehicle manufacturer's specification.
A. The Hella EFB range includes several variants to suit different vehicle fitments. Related models available on this site include HE020, HE068, HE096, HE110, HE115, and HE249.
