A. EFB stands for Enhanced Flooded Battery. It uses a polyester scrim material bonded to the positive plate, which increases cyclic stability and charge acceptance compared to a standard flooded battery. This makes it suitable for vehicles with start-stop systems, where the battery is repeatedly discharged and recharged during short urban journeys.
A. The LE017 has a Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating of 900A measured to EN standard at -18°C. This indicates the current the battery can deliver for 30 seconds while maintaining a minimum voltage of 7.5V, confirming its ability to start large-displacement engines in cold conditions.
A. The Lucas LE017 measures 352mm in length, 175mm in width, and 190mm in height including the terminal. It is housed in a L05 case and uses a B13 hold-down configuration. Always verify these dimensions against your vehicle's battery tray before ordering.
A. The LE017 uses a Type 1 terminal configuration with Polarity 0, meaning the positive terminal is located on the right-hand side when viewed from the front of the battery. Confirming terminal placement before installation is essential to avoid reverse polarity connection.
A. EFB batteries are generally suitable as replacements in vehicles that were originally fitted with EFB technology. However, if the vehicle manufacturer specifies an AGM battery, an AGM replacement should be used instead. Fitting an EFB where AGM is required may result in reduced system performance. Refer to your vehicle handbook or Lucas compatibility data before substituting.
A. The cross-reference code for the LE017 is 017EFB. This code can be used to verify fitment compatibility against OEM battery part numbers and other aftermarket catalogue references. If your existing battery carries this code on its label or in your vehicle's service documentation, the LE017 is a confirmed compatible replacement.
A. The LE017 is covered by a 3-year warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty supports the battery against manufacturing defects under normal operating conditions. Retain your proof of purchase and contact the supplier if a warranty claim is required during this period.
A. Yes. The Lucas Fusion EFB range is engineered to handle the rapid charge inputs generated by regenerative braking systems. These systems recover kinetic energy during deceleration and return it to the battery as an electrical charge. The higher charge acceptance rate of EFB technology allows the LE017 to absorb these inputs efficiently without damage.
A. Yes. Related Lucas EFB variants include LE020, LE068, LE110, and LE115, which cover a range of capacities and case configurations. If the LE017 dimensions or terminal layout do not match your vehicle requirements, these alternatives may provide the correct fitment. Use your vehicle registration or battery dimensions to select the appropriate SKU.
A. Standard delivery to UK mainland addresses takes 1–3 working days. A 30-day returns policy applies. Please ensure the battery is unused and in its original condition if a return is required. Contact PartsForMachines for return authorisation before shipping.
