Based in Austria, the company produces high-quality batteries for a wide range of applications, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and recreational vehicles. Banner's focus on innovation and sustainability has led to the development of advanced technologies that ensure reliability and long battery life. With an extensive range of batteries and a global network of distributors and service centers, Banner is a reliable partner for both residential and commercial customers.

The introduction of the latest in car- and truckbatteries? The AGM Running Bull, EFB PRO Running Bull (passenger cars) and Buffalo Bull AGM (trucks) offer exceptional power and reliability in demanding applications, making them the best choice for high-performance vehicles and heavy-duty equipment. These batteries have the OE Quality Label, ensuring the highest level of performance and reliability.

More than 95% of all new vehicles are currently equipped with a start-stop function, in order to achieve the CO2 targets reduced by the EU through sustainable savings in fuel consumption and reduction of emissions. Generally, two different types of starting batteries are used in these environmentally friendly vehicles: the absorbent glass mat (AGM) and the advanced wet battery (EFB).
Using the right technology largely depends on the fuel and CO2.

AGM Running Bull for start-stop vehicles and electric cars

AGM technology is used for start-stop systems with maximum energy requirements and recovery of braking energy. In this context, the Running Bull AGM in particular represents the optimal solution for vehicles from the middle to luxury class. The Running Bull AGM is also often used to power the 12V system in E-vehicles. The Running Bull is currently used for first fitment by Porsche, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, VW, Volvo, Seat, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce.

EFB/PRO for start-stop vehicles

The new high-performance top versions of the Running Bull EFB PROfessional are based on the proven Running Bull EFB technology and meet, or even exceed, the specifications for start-stop batteries of leading German car manufacturers such as BMW and VW. These power packs are designed for modern, start-stop cars with high energy requirements and are also increasingly used as on-board batteries in electric cars.

Do I need an EFB or AGM start-stop battery?

If an EFB start-stop battery was installed at the factory, it can be replaced again with an EFB start-stop battery. An upgrade to AGM is always possible. If an AGM starter-stop battery is installed at the factoryit may only be replaced with an AGM start/stop battery.

AGM batteries are a good basis for start-stop batteries with their high cold-start performance and combined power consumption. Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) has similar strengths. It evolved from the conventional wet battery. A calcium grid alloy provides better current conduction in the cell and higher cycle stability than conventional lead-acid battery.

Important: Never replace an AGM or EFB battery with a traditional lead-acid battery!

The Buffalo Bull AGM and the Buffalo Bull EFB

In the commercial vehicle sector, starter and on-board batteries must meet increasingly special needs, such as the maximum energy requirements resulting from the increasing number of comfort functions in trucks for international transport. Drivers often spend the night in their vehicles and use various electrical consumers, such as additional air conditioning or heating. Banner has therefore launched the Buffalo Bull AGM and the Buffalo Bull EFB, which are specially designed for such consumers and applications.

The Buffalo Bull AGM is designed to meet the demanding requirements of long-haul trucks and the growing need for maximum power for in-vehicle comfort functions. It is an efficient battery that provides a constant power supply even under high loads. This makes the Buffalo Bull AGM the ideal choice for long-haul trucks in need of extra power.

The Buffalo Bull EFB is also designed for heavy-duty requirements of long-haul trucks and offers extreme vibration resistance that is essential when integrating batteries on the rear chassis. 

The difference between the Buffalo Bull AGM and the Buffalo Bull EFB is that the latter has an even higher energy storage capacity than the AGM. This makes the EFB the perfect choice for long-haul trucks that need even more energy storage and vibration resistance.

The Buffalo Bull AGM is ideal for trucks that need extra power, while the Buffalo Bull EFB is the perfect choice for trucks that need even more energy storage and vibration resistance.

Energy Bull for compelling deep cycle properties

With the Energy Bull, Banner presents a special battery for hobby and leisure. The Energy Bull's robust properties make it an ideal battery for caravans, boats and use in many other applications, including signal systems, electric motor drives as well as applications in trucks equipped with a tailgate, for example.

The composition of the special active mass with the separators, provides tremendous cyclic resilience allowing the battery to be charged and discharged repeatedly, without loss of capacity.
