A. EFB stands for Enhanced Flooded Battery. It is a reinforced wet-cell battery designed specifically for vehicles equipped with start-stop systems. Compared to a conventional flooded battery, EFB technology offers superior cycle life and faster charge acceptance, both of which are essential when the engine restarts frequently and the battery must recover charge rapidly during regenerative braking.
A. The battery measures 302mm in length, 175mm in width, and 220mm in height including the terminal. The case type is D31. Please confirm these dimensions fit your battery tray before ordering.
A. The PM249EFB uses a Type 1 terminal configuration with standard polarity (polarity code 0), meaning the positive terminal is positioned on the right-hand side. The hold-down type is B01. Confirm these details match your vehicle's requirements before fitting.
A. Yes. An EFB battery is the minimum recommended replacement for any vehicle originally fitted with an EFB battery. Fitting a conventional flooded battery in its place would result in premature failure. If your vehicle was originally fitted with an AGM battery, an AGM replacement is required instead.
A. The Powermax PM249EFB is supplied with a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Should a warranty claim be required, contact PartsForMachines with proof of purchase and details of the fault.
A. The Powermax EFB range includes the PM017EFB, PM020EFB, PM068EFB, PM096EFB, PM110EFB, and PM115EFB, covering a range of capacities and fitments to suit different vehicles with start-stop systems. Contact PartsForMachines to identify the correct variant for your application.
A. The Powermax PM249EFB weighs 19.2kg. This should be considered when planning installation, particularly in confined engine bays or where manual handling is involved.
A. This product is unsuitable for standard carrier shipment due to its classification as a wet battery. Delivery options and availability vary; contact PartsForMachines directly to discuss shipping arrangements. A 30-day returns policy applies.
A. The PM249EFB is rated at 800A cold cranking amps measured to the EN standard. This rating reflects the current the battery can deliver for 30 seconds at −18°C whilst maintaining a minimum voltage of 7.5V, and indicates strong cranking performance in cold conditions.
A. The PM249EFB is purpose-built for start-stop applications. Provided the battery matches your vehicle's required specification — 12V, 80Ah, 800A CCA, Type 249EFB, and D31 case — it is suitable. You should always verify compatibility against your vehicle handbook or consult a qualified technician before fitting.
