EFB = Enhanced Flooded Battery. It has liquid electrolyte as per a standard battery but provides improved performance due to design/material changes.
NOT an AGM, These have been shown as not being quite the wonder battery the original hype claimed although most battery manufacturers still push them because they can charge more for them. AGM is not suitable as a direct replacement for flooded cell because the charging voltages are too high. Bulk charging for AGM is 13.7 volts but flooded requires 14.4 volts.
I still prefer batteries with removable caps, maintenance free is a bit of a misnomer. It's more a case of don't have to maintain so often and throw away instead.A visitor from the dark side, my other vehicle is an MG5 EV
