The electrical components in your Volkswagen vehicle need energy to function. In hybrid and combustion Volkswagen vehicles, energy is delivered by starter batteries. If you're looking for a Volkswagen Polo car battery or a battery for any other VW vehicle model, here's everything you need to know about choosing the right option.
An introduction to Volkswagen battery technologies
There are three different types of batteries that are used across the Volkswagen range of vehicles, so let's look at some of the features of each option.
AGM starter battery
Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are suited to Volkswagen vehicles that contain a range of electrical components, such as air conditioning and heated seats. AGM batteries are high performing and powerful.
Lead-calcium battery
This type of battery was generally installed in Volkswagen vehicles that don't have automatic start/stop technology. However, new battery technologies have emerged in recent years, which means that lead-calcium batteries are typically only suitable for older Volkswagen models.
EFB/EFB+ starter battery
Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) batteries are suited to both electric and combustion engine vehicles. As they have better stability than lead-calcium batteries, they generally last longer and, therefore, provide better value for money.
2 Factors that can impact your Volkwagen Polo car battery performance
Every time a Volkswagen Tiguan battery is discharged, for example, formations of lead sulphate accumulate on the plates which impact the flow of current. Over time, these crystals will reduce the capacity of the battery, and it will eventually need to be replaced.
Similarly, things that can cause wear and tear to your Volkswagen Golf car battery include extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures, making too many very short trips that prevent the battery from fully recharging, and a faulty alternator.
How to maintain your Volkswagen Golf battery
It can be beneficial to have your VW battery checked by a professional, as this will ensure any damage to its components is identified as soon as possible. There are a number of other things you can also do to ensure your Volkswagen Tiguan battery is well maintained, including checking its fluid levels, driving your car regularly, and ensuring all lights and electronics are switched off when leaving your vehicle to avoid draining your battery.
