Exide AGM batteries are fitted as original equipment to many Micro-Hybrid vehicles. These are vehicles which are powered by a traditional petrol or diesel engine but are equipped with additional systems which help reduce fuel consumption such as automatic engine stop/start systems and regenerative braking systems. It is essential that the battery is replaced with one of the correct type as the battery must be able to provide the fast starting required by automatic engine stop/start systems and must also be able cope with the complex demands of regenerative braking systems. This battery can be used as a superior replacement for the 096 traditional car battery.
