My battery has all of a sudden started to struggle to start my car. After a long drive its fine but left over night its struggles and a 12v warning pops up on the dash.
My first port of call is to replace the battery, however, I'm a little unsure if the one in there is the correct one for a Seat Leon 2016 1.4 TSI FR 150BHP with Stop/Start feature. Its an Exide EFB 1S0 915 105A. However, looking at a lot of websites they say that I should be using the larger (and a lot more expensive) AGM battery. So my question in this, is the Exide EFB battery ok for my car, because if it is I will just get a direct replacement.
Additionally, I heard that you have to do a software battery reset (BMS?) when a new battery is fitted - is this the case & can it be done without a specialist device?
Cheers
