Vehicles with the Start/Stop System have a special battery due to the increased load on the cycles.

When replacing the battery, note the correct replacement part identification.

Batteries for vehicles with the Start/Stop System have "AGM" (Absorbent Glass Mat) or "EFB" (Enhanced Flooded Battery) marked on them.
