## What it means that the EA530 is lead-acid

Inside, the EA530 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the EA530 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.

## What to look at before buying the EA530

- If your car has Start-Stop, the EA530 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- Cold cranking: 540 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- With 53 Ah, the EA530 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- The EA530 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
- Length, width and height of the EA530: 207 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L1).

### Can the Exide EA530 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

### Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EA530?
