Product Information

Full details

The Quinton Hazell Powerbox AGM Car Battery (027 - AGM - 60Ah - 680A - 12V - T1) is designed for micro-hybrid vehicles featuring Start/Stop and Brake Energy Regeneration technology. It offers enhanced cyclic performance, supporting increased demand from fuel-saving devices and ancillary equipment even when the engine is idle. A key caveat is that AGM batteries must be replaced like-for-like on vehicles where AGM was originally fitted. This battery provides reliable power and durability, backed by a 3-year warranty, and is manufactured to original equipment specifications.

FAQs

What does AGM mean in a car battery?

AGM stands for Absorbed Glass Mat. This technology uses a sulfuric acid electrolyte that is absorbed into fiberglass mats, providing a more robust, vibration-resistant, and safer battery compared to conventional flooded lead-acid batteries.

Can I use this AGM battery in any car?

No, this specific AGM battery is designed for vehicles with Start/Stop and Brake Energy Regeneration technology. You must replace an existing AGM battery with another AGM battery ('like-for-like'). Consult your vehicle manual or a professional if unsure.

What is the benefit of Brake Energy Regeneration?

Brake Energy Regeneration captures kinetic energy normally lost as heat during braking and converts it into electrical energy to recharge the battery. This improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.

How long does the Quinton Hazell Powerbox AGM battery typically last?

With its advanced AGM technology and high cyclic performance, this battery is rated for up to 360,000 cycles. Actual lifespan depends on usage, vehicle charging system, and environmental conditions, but it is designed for durability in Start/Stop applications.

How do I dispose of my old car battery?

Car batteries contain hazardous materials and should be recycled properly. Take your old battery to a local recycling center, auto parts store, or garage that accepts used batteries.

What are the physical dimensions of this battery?

The dimensions are Length: 242mm, Width: 175mm, and Height: 190mm.

What is the Cold-test Current (CCA) rating?

The Cold-test Current (EN standard) is 680A, indicating its ability to provide strong starting power in cold conditions.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle not starting or slow cranking

Check battery terminal connections for tightness and corrosion. Ensure the battery is fully charged if possible or test its capacity. Verify compatibility with your vehicle's Start/Stop system.

Battery warning light illuminated

This could indicate a charging system issue or a failing battery. Have the vehicle's charging system and the battery tested by a qualified mechanic.

Reduced performance after installation

Confirm that the battery was installed correctly and is the correct AGM type for your vehicle's Start/Stop system. Ensure all connections are secure.

Corrosion on battery terminals

Disconnect battery, clean terminals with a wire brush and a baking soda/water solution, rinse, dry, and reconnect securely. Apply a terminal protector spray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically designed for advanced Start/Stop and regenerative braking systems.
  • Superior cyclic performance for extended battery life in demanding applications.
  • Supports vehicle fuel efficiency and emission reduction goals.
  • High safety standards due to the sealed AGM construction.
  • Backed by a 3-year warranty for added reassurance.
  • Manufactured to original equipment quality standards.

Cons

  • Requires direct 'like-for-like' replacement; not a universal upgrade for all vehicles.
  • AGM batteries can be more sensitive to overcharging compared to conventional batteries.
  • Typically has a higher initial cost than standard lead-acid batteries.
  • Requires correct installation to ensure optimal performance and safety.
  • Weight of 17.8 kg may require assistance for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This battery is specifically designed for vehicles equipped with Start/Stop and Brake Energy Regeneration technology. Crucially, it must be fitted as a direct replacement ('like-for-like') for an existing AGM battery. Installing an AGM battery in a vehicle that originally came with a conventional flooded lead-acid battery may cause system incompatibilities or damage. Always verify your vehicle's original battery type before purchase.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the ignition is removed.
  2. Disconnect the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal.
  3. Remove the old battery, taking care to note its orientation.
  4. Clean the battery tray and cable terminals.
  5. Install the new Quinton Hazell AGM battery, ensuring it is correctly oriented and securely fastened.
  6. Reconnect the positive terminal first, followed by the negative terminal.
  7. Dispose of the old battery responsibly at a designated recycling center.

Care:

  • Keep the battery terminals clean and free from corrosion. Use a wire brush and a mixture of baking soda and water if corrosion is present.
  • Ensure the battery is securely fixed in its tray to prevent vibration damage.
  • Avoid deep discharges if possible; the vehicle's charging system is designed to manage the AGM battery's cycles.
  • The battery is 100% sealed and requires no topping up with water.
