Wheelie24v Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hi guys, I know there are a few threads on this but I'm trying to find out if we have the right battery. After 2 weeks of not using the car, it was flat this morning, had to use the manual fob and jump start it. However looking at other threads, our battery seems different. Ours is a SLI 60Ah, 590A (see pic). Others seem to have a EFB type? The car is a 2020 1.0 125ps mild hybrid vignale. Thanks Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I would assume as you have mild hybrid engine , the battery Wouldnt need to be an efb version. Stop start won't be putting strain on the battery unlike the non hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Initial cold start the normal starter uses the 12 v battery but after wards the generator/starter uses the 48v battery to start the engine. Also the 48v battery supply's 12v power to run ancillaries when engine stops ( stop start) stopping 12v battery drain . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
