About Solite

Solite built its name on sealed calcium maintenance-free batteries, the kind you fit and forget until the next replacement. The brand is exported heavily and is stocked in almost every JIS size, which is why technicians in the UAE know it so well. Hyundai Sungwoo also produces AGM batteries under the Solite name for cars with stop/start. Most Solite batteries have a built-in charge indicator on top, a small window that gives a rough reading of the state of charge.

Solite in UAE heat

A sealed battery cannot be topped up, so once heat has driven off enough electrolyte it is finished. If the indicator window has gone clear or the engine turns over slowly on a hot afternoon, get it tested.

Best suited to

Toyota, Nissan, Lexus, Honda, Hyundai and Kia owners who want a dependable standard battery in the correct JIS size.

Solite on a Range Rover

A standard Solite is a flooded battery and does not belong in a stop/start Range Rover, which needs AGM. It can serve an older Land Rover without stop/start when the size matches, and we check that before recommending it.

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.
