Amaron does not have din80, only din100.

If your engine have stop/start function better to use AGM or EFB. Hoppecke has both types in different sizes.

Just curious.. if my car does have Start Stop BUT i never use it (as in off whenever I drive) still necessary to use AGM/EFB?

Just get one with EFB bro. The difference in price is not much from normal MF battery.

Theoretically, you don't need AGM/EFB, since your car will be driven like normal. The battery is used once to start engine, until end of trip.

It is with multiple stop/start that the concern is normal battery may fail earlier. EFB was produced to counter this by having thicker lead plates. But then again different brands have different qualities, so it's hard to compare apples and oranges.

But the most stress on battery is actually during a cold start. Once the engine is warmed up, operational temp, starting/re-starting engine takes less stress on the battery. So stop/start engine may not necessary double/triple the wear on battery.

For Mazda Cars,yes,you could use a Normal Battery,but everyday there will be a Warning Message in the Dash,you will not like it.
