This Quinton Hazell Powerbox Start/Stop AGM car battery is designed for drivers of modern Micro-Hybrid vehicles with Start/Stop and Brake Energy Regeneration. It offers enhanced cyclic performance to meet the demands of fuel-saving technology and ancillary equipment, with a key caveat being the necessity to replace an AGM battery with another AGM battery if originally fitted. Key features include increased cyclic performance, a 100% sealed design, and a 3-year warranty, providing reliable power and durability.

AGM stands for Absorbed Glass Mat. In AGM batteries, the electrolyte is suspended in porous glass mats. This construction allows for faster charging, better performance under deep discharge cycles, and increased vibration resistance, making them ideal for the demanding Start/Stop and regenerative braking systems found in modern vehicles.
No, if your original battery was not an AGM type, you should generally not replace it with an AGM battery unless specifically recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Conversely, if your vehicle came with an AGM battery, it *must* be replaced with another AGM battery.
The Quinton Hazell 020 AGM battery comes with a 3-year warranty.
Brake Energy Regeneration is a feature common in hybrid and increasingly in micro-hybrid (Start/Stop) vehicles. Often, if your vehicle has a Start/Stop system, it likely incorporates regenerative braking to recapture energy. Check your vehicle's owner's manual or specifications for confirmation.
'105Ah' refers to the battery's capacity (Ampere-hours), indicating how much energy it can store. '950A CCA' (Cold Cranking Amps) is a measure of the battery's ability to start an engine in cold temperatures, representing the current it can deliver for 30 seconds at 0°F (-18°C).
Yes, the 100% sealed design of this AGM battery makes it completely maintenance-free. You do not need to check or top up electrolyte levels.
The dimensions are 393mm in length, 175mm in width, and 190mm in height.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly installed. Some vehicles require a specific diagnostic tool to re-register a new battery with the vehicle's management system. Check battery voltage and connections.
Verify that the vehicle's charging system (alternator) is functioning correctly. Check for parasitic drains by testing the current draw when the vehicle is off. Ensure the battery is the correct type (AGM) for the vehicle.
Disconnect the battery (negative first). Clean terminals with a wire brush and a baking soda/water solution. Apply a terminal protector spray or petroleum jelly after reconnecting (positive first).
Check battery connections for tightness and corrosion. Test the battery's voltage with a multimeter. If voltage is very low, the battery may be deeply discharged or faulty. Ensure the correct battery type was installed.
