How to read the handbook when replacing a start-stop car battery
Copy the handbook EFB or AGM line and the case group as printed. Do not pick chemistry here; a van fleet is a different list.
The bonnet is open and the start-stop car battery is coming out. Open the vehicle handbook first: if it says enhanced flooded battery (EFB) or absorbent glass mat (AGM), copy that name. The existing case group opens a fit talk; do not guess ampere-hours. Nova’s start-stop family maps those two classes on its own page. A worn label stays blank. A light-commercial van is not on this list.
Where you find the EFB or AGM line in the handbook
Authorised-workshop purchasing or an import desk fills the list — this is a passenger replacement, not a fleet walk. The technology line lives in the handbook or on the vehicle label. Duty stays on the passenger-car application page. Do not close the form early if the handbook line or case group is still missing. Make and model are free text, not a seating certificate.
Market and quantity stay on an export note; a missing paperwork line is left blank. An unknown EFB or AGM line is not picked from this page. A cabin climate or infotainment list does not replace the handbook line.
How you copy the case group off the label
Share the technology as EFB or AGM when the handbook or label names it that way. Case group and readable millimetres are for discussing fit. Ampere-hours are not written on this step. A flooded starter sold as ordinary SLI does not stand in for the handbook class on a passenger bay.
The Start-stop batteries page shows the SSA range. The models index scans codes. This guide does not reprint that table. If the case will not fit, a model name is not applied; dimensions and the handbook line are read again. EFB or AGM here is the class the vehicle maker named.
- Handbook line: EFB or AGM (if named)
- Case group or readable millimetres
- Vehicle make / model (free text)
- Destination country; quantity on a separate line
What you leave blank when the label is worn
A readable case group is enough. A missing ampere-hour figure is not invented. A worn line is not given a fabricated group code. Missing certificate or part numbers are not invented. The AGM/gel ambiguity on the source page stays open in family copy; it is not settled here.
Family FAQ keeps the SLI-equivalence question; it is not repeated here so group reading stays clean. Ampere-hours alone are not seating proof. The range map is not copied.
What this car handbook start-stop guide is not for when you replace a saloon
A light-commercial van fleet, a refrigeration body and a multi-drop route sit outside this article. Standard SLI starting is not selected as an equivalent on start-stop duty. A catalogue price, a warehouse count and a city landing stay off this handbook note. A vehicle-maker seating certificate is not produced.
Unsuitable: asking for a model without the handbook line. Passenger-car duty stays on the application page. Leave an unpublished warranty year, cycle figure or GTIN blank on the handbook sheet. A price is not invented.
Why a standard starter is not a start-stop substitute
If the handbook asks for EFB or AGM, a standard SLI does not stand in for that line. Frequent stop-start cycling and cabin electrics were written against that class. This article does not publish a service-life year; it only carries the handbook name.
Code scan happens on the start-stop models index. The group on the label is read with the technology line in the handbook. Which row is discussed is settled in correspondence. Light-commercial refrigeration draw does not enter this reading.
What you send the desk once the handbook is open
If the handbook EFB or AGM line and the case group are in hand, open the start-stop quote form. Passenger car can stay as a free-text note. The technical team does not write a blank seating certificate; the label is read again.
A saloon on the same yard does not borrow the van list. Send the handbook line and the case group; the desk does not invent a seating certificate or a ship week.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I pick the EFB line from a chemistry menu on this page?
- No. The handbook names an EFB or AGM class; you copy that name from the label. Fit is not discussed without case group and millimetres. Code scan is confirmed on the models index. Standard SLI is not written as an equivalent on this line. A seating certificate is not produced. The form opens as a start-stop quote.
- How is group size recovered from a worn label?
- Any readable case group, millimetres and handbook technology are enough. A missing ampere-hour figure is not invented. Make and model stay free text. If the group code is gone, the field stays empty. Missing certificate or part numbers are not fabricated. The form still opens as a start-stop quote.
- Does naming AGM replace the vehicle maker’s parts catalogue?
- It does not. A manufacturer request is qualified discovery. Handbook technology is written under the name specified, without seating proof. Chassis or customer identifiers are not sent to analytics. Export English lives on the English page. Market eligibility is confirmed in the thread; this article does not open a country hub.
- Why does van refrigeration stay off this handbook list?
- Light-commercial duty combines longer daily hours, multi-drop stops and auxiliary load; it has its own application page. This list is a passenger-car start-stop replacement. Even when the same start-stop family is used, the forms are not mixed. Auxiliary current is not invented here. The van travels on its own fleet order.
