About Exide

The Exide name is more than a century old, and the companies that use it today in Europe and in India are run independently of each other. Both supply car makers directly. The European range is laid out as Classic, Excell and Premium for conventional cars, with Exide EFB and Exide AGM for stop/start. An Exide in the UAE can come from either source, so we read the label for the country of manufacture and the ratings before recommending it for a particular car.

Exide in UAE heat

An AGM or EFB battery tolerates partial charge better than a plain flooded one, which matters in summer traffic with the air conditioning on full. Whatever the type, ask for a battery test at the two-year mark.

Exide vs ACDelco

Exide or ACDelco?

Exide and ACDelco both began as American names, but they serve different cars now. Exide is the broader choice for European and Asian sizes, while ACDelco is the natural fit for GM trucks and SUVs.

Battery types

AGM, EFB or flooded: which battery your car needs

The technology has to match what the car was built with. This is the short version.

TypeHow it worksFitted toGood to know
AGM Absorbent Glass Mat Electrolyte is held in glass-fibre mats, so the battery is sealed, vibration resistant and copes with deep, repeated discharges. Range Rover Velar, Sport, Evoque and most premium cars with start-stop or heavy electronics. Must be replaced with AGM. The car should be told a new battery is fitted.
EFB Enhanced Flooded Battery A reinforced flooded design that handles more start cycles than a standard battery. Entry-level start-stop cars, many Japanese and Korean models. Can be upgraded to AGM, never downgraded to standard flooded.
Flooded Maintenance-free lead-acid The conventional sealed calcium battery. Simple, proven and the most affordable. Older cars and models without start-stop, including earlier Land Rovers. Most affected by heat. Test yearly after the second summer.
48V lithium Mild-hybrid pack A separate lithium-ion pack that powers the mild-hybrid system. It works alongside the 12V battery, not instead of it. Mild-hybrid Range Rover and Velar engines, and other MHEV cars. Not a roadside item. We replace the 12V battery and leave the 48V system alone.
