Standard OEM Battery Type - AGM or EFB?

Is the standard factory fitted battery on a 2015 car an AGM or an EFB? The look-ups on sellers' websites seem to be happy to list both types as suitable, but whilst they might work, fitting the wrong type will shorten it's life.

I still have the original EFB battery made by MOLL in my 2019 car.

EFB in mine from new. But you can fit what you want, but do code it for the BEM.

Cool so you can tell the car what type of battery it is via the coding?
