What to look at before buying the EA612

  • Length, width and height of the EA612: 242 × 175 × 175 mm (European case size LB2).
  • With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the EA612 is on the right.
  • Your current battery should say about 61 Ah; a little more is also fine.
  • Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 600 A or less, the EA612 covers your engine.
  • If your car has Start-Stop, the EA612 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.

Inside the EA612: lead-acid technology

Inside, the EA612 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. It is a robust, well-known technology with a good capacity-to-price ratio, and still the basis of most cars, trucks and traction equipment.
