AGM and EFB batteries are an improvement on traditional flooded lead-acid batteries, with some key differences. Lead-acid batteries are characterised by their lead plates and sulphuric acid electrolyte. They are generally ranked in terms of factors such as output, durability and number of engine starts, with standard lead-acid batteries being the most basic, EFB batteries being mid-tier, and AGM batteries being in the upper tier.

An OEM charger is an EV charger made by a car manufacturer for its own range of electric vehicles. The majority of these chargers are what the industry refers to as, “dumb chargers”. They are basic models in the form of a non-networked charger box with an electrical outlet connection. Since they do not have cloud connection features, they cannot be managed or monitored remotely.
