## Exide AGM12-12.1 vs AGM12-14, AGM12-12 and ETX14AHL-BS

How the AGM12-12.1 compares with Exide batteries of similar size and capacity:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide AGM12-12.1 (this one) | 12 Ah | 200 A | 150 × 90 × 145 | right | 4.4 kg |
| Exide AGM12-14 | 12 Ah | 210 A | 135 × 90 × 165 | right | 4.8 kg |
| Exide AGM12-12 | 12 Ah | 200 A | 150 × 90 × 145 | left | 4.5 kg |
| Exide ETX14AHL-BS | 12 Ah | 210 A | 135 × 90 × 165 | right | 4.9 kg |

- Exide AGM12-14: the same capacity, 10 A more cranking power, a different case (135 × 90 × 165 mm).
- The Exide AGM12-12 is the same battery with the positive terminal on the other side: choose it if your current battery has the positive terminal on the left.
- Exide ETX14AHL-BS: the same capacity, 10 A more cranking power, a different case (135 × 90 × 165 mm).

## Before ordering the AGM12-12.1, check this

- Cold cranking: 200 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- Your current battery should say about 12 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Polarity of the AGM12-12.1: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- The AGM12-12.1 needs 150 × 90 × 145 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
