Looking for a quality european stop start AGM replacement battery for your imported vehicle? This article will help you compare the two major European battery brands – Varta Batteries & Midac Batteries with the automatic stop start system installed.
We look at the two high-quality European-made replacement batteries, the Italian made Midac Itineris AGM and the German made Varta Silver Dynamic AGM. These are designed for the following car brands, for which Varta is OEM to most of the brands. BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Skoda, Fiat, Land Rover, Renault.
The energy consumption of modern imported vehicles is increasing with the number of electronic components has put a significant load on the battery. In addition, the drive to reduce CO2 emissions forced manufacturers to introduce automatic stop-start systems.
Keep in mind that the requirements to provide a stable power supply for the modern import vehicles require using higher-performing EFB or AGM batteries. A battery for a stop-start system can only be replaced with a battery of the same type. The AGM battery must be replaced with an AGM battery; however, an EFB battery can be replaced with either an EFB or upgraded to an AGM.
