Jun Furukawa, Senior Adviser, The Furukawa Battery Co., Ltd

Pre-conference workshop presentation:

In 2009, the first Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) made in Japan was adopted for Toyota vehicles for Europe equipped with stop and start and regenerative-braking system, later named micro-hybrid. After that EFBs became the mainstream instead of SLI batteries. In this paper, the evolution of technical standards for lead-acid batteries for automotive applications and the advances in the technology of EFBs over the last decade will be reviewed.
