Frequently asked questions about the Exide 12N5-3B

12N5-3B or EB5L-B: which one suits me?

Compared with the 12N5-3B, the Exide EB5L-B has 25 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 65 A or more, choose the EB5L-B; if it says 40 A or less, the 12N5-3B is enough. Both measure 120 × 60 × 130 mm, so they fit the same tray.

How much does the Exide 12N5-3B weigh?

2 kg, with 5 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Exide EB5L-B (5 Ah) weighs 2 kg.

Which side is the positive terminal on the Exide 12N5-3B?

On the 12N5-3B, the positive terminal is on the right with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.

What it means that the 12N5-3B is lead-acid

Inside, the 12N5-3B is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the 12N5-3B is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.
