The Lucas Fusion EFB series is designed to meet the needs of modern vehicles equipped with advanced start-stop systems and high electrical demands. Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) technology offers superior charge acceptance, extended cycle life, and enhanced durability compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. These features make Lucas Fusion EFB batteries ideal for vehicles that experience frequent start-stop cycles, such as city driving conditions. The advanced design also improves energy efficiency, ensuring a stable power supply for both engine starting and onboard electronics. With Lucas’ reputation for quality and reliability, the Fusion EFB series provides a dependable energy solution for demanding applications.
The Lucas LE017 is a high-capacity EFB battery designed to deliver reliable starting power and sustained performance for vehicles with high energy requirements. With a capacity of 95Ah and a maximum starting current of 900A, this battery ensures powerful ignition even in challenging conditions. The EFB technology enhances its resistance to deep discharge cycles, making it a more robust and long-lasting alternative to conventional flooded batteries. This makes the LE017 particularly suitable for modern vehicles with start-stop functionality and energy-hungry electrical systems.
The battery’s dimensions—353 mm in length, 175 mm in width, and 190 mm in height—place it within the L5 standard European size category. This classification ensures compatibility with a wide range of vehicles that require this specific battery size. The LE017 features a standard terminal layout of type 0 (positive terminal on the right when facing the battery) and uses terminal type 1, which is common among European vehicles. Additionally, the battery includes a B13 mounting system, which provides secure and stable installation within the vehicle’s battery compartment.
When compared to similar models, the Lucas LE017 competes directly with the Exide EL1000 and the Varta Blue Dynamic EFB N95. The Exide EL1000 offers a slightly higher capacity at 100Ah but maintains the same 900A starting current and identical dimensions. The Varta N95, on the other hand, has a similar 95Ah capacity but a slightly lower starting power of 850A. All three batteries share the same size and mounting specifications, making them interchangeable options for vehicles requiring this format. However, the Lucas LE017 stands out for its balance of high performance, reliability, and long cycle life.
Overall, the Lucas LE017 is an excellent choice for drivers seeking a powerful and durable EFB battery capable of handling the demands of modern vehicles. Its advanced EFB technology ensures longer-lasting performance, superior charge acceptance, and resilience against frequent start-stop cycles. Whether used in high-performance vehicles or daily commuters, the LE017 provides consistent and reliable energy output, making it a premium choice for those needing an efficient and dependable automotive battery.
