A. EFB stands for Enhanced Flooded Battery. It uses reinforced plate construction and a polyester scrim bonded to the positive plates to improve charge acceptance and cycle durability. This makes it significantly more capable than a conventional flooded battery in start-stop applications, where the engine restarts many times per journey and places repeated demands on the battery.
A. The Powermax PM027EFB is rated at 560A Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) measured to the EN standard at 12V. This figure indicates the current the battery can deliver for 30 seconds at -18°C whilst maintaining a minimum terminal voltage of 7.5V, and is the primary indicator of engine-starting capability in cold conditions.
A. The PM027EFB measures 242mm in length, 174mm in width, and 190mm in height including terminals. It is a Case L02 unit secured by Hold-Down B13. To confirm fitment for your specific vehicle, cross-reference against the 027EFB battery group or consult your vehicle handbook for the OEM battery specification.
A. The PM027EFB uses a Type 1 terminal arrangement with standard positive polarity, denoted as Polarity 0. This means the positive terminal is positioned on the left when viewing the battery from the terminal face. Always verify terminal layout and polarity against your existing battery before fitting.
A. The PM027EFB is a Type 027EFB fitment, suitable for a wide range of passenger cars equipped with start-stop systems that specify an EFB battery in this group size. Compatibility should always be confirmed using your vehicle registration or OEM battery reference. The 027EFB cross-reference covers many common European models.
A. Yes. The PM027EFB is compatible with vehicles that do not use start-stop functionality, provided the physical dimensions, terminal type, and voltage specification match. An EFB battery will perform at least as well as a conventional flooded unit in standard applications and offers additional resilience to deep discharge.
A. No. If your vehicle was originally fitted with an AGM battery, it must be replaced with another AGM unit. AGM batteries operate within a different charging profile, and fitting an EFB in place of an AGM can result in incorrect charging behaviour and premature battery failure. Always match the replacement battery technology to the OEM specification.
A. The PM027EFB has a rated capacity of 60Ah, measured to the C20 standard. This means the battery is discharged over a 20-hour period at a constant current until the terminal voltage reaches 10.5V. The C20 rating is the standard used for automotive batteries across the EU and is the figure to use when comparing capacity between products.
A. The Powermax PM027EFB is supplied with a 3-year warranty. This covers manufacturing defects and premature failure under normal operating conditions. Warranty claims resulting from incorrect fitment, use in an incompatible vehicle, or damage caused by a faulty charging system are not covered. Retain your proof of purchase for any warranty enquiry.
A. The PM027EFB is dispatched via standard parcel service. Delivery to UK mainland addresses takes 1–3 working days. A 30-day returns policy applies; the battery must be unused and in its original condition to be eligible for return.
