Panda Cross 4x4 TwinAir 2016 with stop/start - I am fairly certain I need an 027 battery but do I need EFB or AGM please? I didn't even realise there were two types of stop/start battery!
Technical EFB or AGM battery?

EFB or AGM battery?
The Panda Nut
Nutty about Pandas Infected by Panda virus and OPD
The original on my TA is an EFB type according to its label.
EFB is fine, AGM is best ( but more expensive....)
I think, if EGM originally fitted, you can replace with either. But, if AGM originally fitted, needs AGM replacement (ie not backwards compatible)

Have a look in the Palio section of this forum where there is discussion regarding the linkage getting jammed by pieces of the gearbox top up cap? I don't know but if Palio is Panda based there is also a bush under the battery box on top of the gearbox that corrodes and seizes (there is a thread in this, Panda, section that covers that - good luck!
Enhanced flooded battery was introduced as a way to make a stop start battery That's cheaper than an Acid glass mat stop start battery
as long as battery is stop start rated efb or agm can be used in a stop start vehicle

Thanks for the replies - in the end I bought an 027 Yuasa AGM battery although when I removed the original I found it was an EFB - the price difference between EFB and AGM was around £40 ish... but AGM seemed like a longer lasting bet....

Original EFB battery (Exide 60Ah, 600A) died in almost 7 years. New Exide EFB (60Ah, 640A) cost approx 120 after discount. AGM (Bosch) is approx 80,-EUR more, I dont think its worth it.
Any idea if I need to program new battery after change?? There is none such option inside MES (Panda 2019 1,2 EURO6 S&S).
Thanks

No programming needed
Use this and a small spare battery, and you'll be fine.

Not necessary for Panda. It only erase trip data and radio settings when disconnected what I remember from last time. And if the battery is somehow "self-programming" isn it needed to disconnect the old one??

Yep; battery can be disconnected and a new one reconnected at will. (OEM) radio is not coded as such, but as @Diwiak notes you will lose the programmed channels.Not necessary for Panda.
