- Exide ET7B-BS: 0.5 Ah more, the same cranking power, the same dimensions.

## Before ordering the AGM12-6.5, check this

- The AGM12-6.5 needs 150 × 65 × 95 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
- Polarity of the AGM12-6.5: positive terminal on the left (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Your current battery should say about 6.5 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- The AGM12-6.5 delivers 85 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.

## Frequently asked questions about the Exide AGM12-6.5

### AGM12-6.5 or AGM12-7F: which one suits me?

Compared with the AGM12-6.5, the Exide AGM12-7F has 0.5 Ah more. With the same cranking power (85 A), the AGM12-6.5 and the AGM12-7F differ in capacity: the one with more Ah supports more load with the engine off. Both measure 150 × 65 × 95 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### How much does the Exide AGM12-6.5 weigh?

2.3 kg, with 6.5 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Exide AGM12-7F (7 Ah) weighs 2.5 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Exide AGM12-6.5?

Only other AGM batteries with its dimensions and polarity: Varta T7B (FA), Motobatt MB7U and Exide AGM12-7F. Neither an EFB nor a conventional battery replaces the AGM12-6.5.

### Which side is the positive terminal on the Exide AGM12-6.5?

On the AGM12-6.5, the positive terminal is on the left with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.

### Which charger does the Exide AGM12-6.5 need?

A charger with an AGM mode that limits voltage to about 14.4-14.7 V. Never an old unregulated charger: overcharging dries out an AGM beyond repair.

## AGM technology in the AGM12-6.5

The AGM12-6.5 is AGM: the electrolyte is absorbed in glass fibre mats, so it is sealed and spill-proof. It withstands many more cycles than a conventional lead battery, at the cost of being more sensitive to overcharging.
