Stop Start Technology

My 2013 Mk7 diesel Highline came with an AGM -- still going strong at 6 years old.

Yes, it doesn’t surprise me. I wouldn’t use EFB battery as replacement battery. It’s a false economy and many would be annoyed by paying + $300 for the battery every 3years or less, especially if the AGM battery somehow didn’t last them at least 4years.

The EFB batteries are fitted mainly to the entry level models as they’re cost effective solution.

The bottom line is.
Don’t fit the EFB battery if the original AGM didn’t last you.

The device from Ebay says it doesn't ship to Australia, and I found this by accident.

They seem to have them for a lot of cars and they get good reviews.

Reversing the way the function works is what I'm interested in too, though I might hardly/ever use it.
