## Exide 12N12A-4A-1 vs EB12A-A, AGM12-9 and ETX9C-BS

How the 12N12A-4A-1 compares with Exide batteries of similar size and capacity:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide 12N12A-4A-1 (this one) | 12 Ah | 115 A | 135 × 80 × 160 | left | 3.9 kg |
| Exide EB12A-A | 12 Ah | 165 A | 135 × 80 × 160 | left | 4.2 kg |
| Exide AGM12-9 | 9 Ah | 120 A | 135 × 75 × 140 | left | 3.2 kg |
| Exide ETX9C-BS | 9 Ah | 120 A | 135 × 75 × 140 | left | 3.2 kg |
| Exide AGM12-14.1 | 12 Ah | 210 A | 135 × 90 × 165 | left | 4 kg |

- Exide EB12A-A: the same capacity, 50 A more cranking power, the same dimensions.
- Exide AGM12-9: 3 Ah less, 5 A more cranking power, a different height (140 mm instead of 160 mm), AGM technology. It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 160 mm height of the 12N12A-4A-1.
- Exide ETX9C-BS: 3 Ah less, 5 A more cranking power, a different height (140 mm instead of 160 mm), AGM technology. It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 160 mm height of the 12N12A-4A-1.
- Exide AGM12-14.1: the same capacity, 95 A more cranking power, a different case (135 × 90 × 165 mm), AGM technology.

- Cold cranking: 115 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.

## Frequently asked questions about the Exide 12N12A-4A-1

### Exide 12N12A-4A-1 or EB12A-A?

Compared with the 12N12A-4A-1, the Exide EB12A-A has 50 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 165 A or more, choose the EB12A-A; if it says 115 A or less, the 12N12A-4A-1 is enough. Both measure 135 × 80 × 160 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### Exide 12N12A-4A-1 or AGM12-9/ETX9C-BS: what changes?

Mainly the height: the 12N12A-4A-1 is 160 mm tall and the Exide AGM12-9 140 mm, with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the AGM12-9 offers 9 Ah and 120 A against 12 Ah and 115 A. The Exide ETX9C-BS is 140 mm tall, with 9 Ah and 120 A. Before choosing between the 12N12A-4A-1 and the AGM12-9, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.
