## Exide 4900 vs U1R-11 and 49901(U1L-250)

How the 4900 compares with Exide batteries of similar size and capacity:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide 4900 (this one) | 24 Ah | 250 A | 197 × 132 × 186 | right | 7.9 kg |
| Exide U1R-11 | 30 Ah | 300 A | 195 × 130 × 180 | right | 9.2 kg |
| Exide 49901(U1L-250) | 24 Ah | 250 A | 197 × 132 × 186 | left | 7.9 kg |

- Exide U1R-11: 6 Ah more, 50 A more cranking power, a different case (195 × 130 × 180 mm).
- If the positive terminal of your battery is on the other side, the one you need is the Exide 49901(U1L-250) (positive terminal on the left).
