Start-stop on a Hawtai
Recent Hawtai models with start-stop need an EFB or AGM battery. We match the technology your car was built with, because a conventional battery will not last in a start-stop system.

Newer Chinese models are well equipped, and Hawtai is typical: turbo engines with start-stop on many versions, large screens and a long list of cameras and sensors. That means an EFB or AGM battery in a European EN size on most recent cars. We confirm against the label, since specifications change quickly between model years.

Battery brands
These brands make the sizes and technology Hawtai models commonly use.
Most current Hawtai models use European EN-size batteries, with EFB or AGM where start-stop is fitted.
Electric and plug-in hybrid versions rely on a small 12V battery, which on some models is lithium instead of lead-acid.
Screens, cameras and connected services keep drawing a little current after the car is locked.

FAQ
Short, direct answers. Message us if yours is not here.
Most recent Hawtai models use a European EN-size battery, EFB or AGM if the car has start-stop and maintenance-free calcium if it does not. Size varies by engine and year, so we check the label on the fitted battery before replacing it.
The 12V battery is the usual cause. An electric or plug-in Hawtai needs it to start the computers and connect the drive battery, so a flat one leaves the car dead. We power the 12V side, wake the car and test that battery on site.
Heat and short trips are the common reasons. Abu Dhabi summers age batteries quickly, and a Hawtai with many always-on features needs regular longer drives to recharge. We test the battery and check for abnormal drain before recommending a replacement.
