Who the Exide EA640 is for
The Exide EA640 is a starter battery for cars without Start-Stop: it delivers the current the starter motor needs and then powers lights, control units and audio with the engine off. Its job is to start the engine in the cold with margin to spare and keep the car's electronics powered.
At 64 Ah it is the usual size for compact diesels and mid-size petrol saloons. The EA640 belongs to the Exide EXIDE Premium range. The full range of Exide batteries

Inside the EA640: lead-acid technology

- If your car has Start-Stop, the EA640 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- Cold cranking: 640 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- Your current battery should say about 64 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the EA640 is on the right.
- Length, width and height of the EA640: 242 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L2).
Frequently asked questions about the Exide EA640
EA640 or EB620: which one suits me?
Compared with the EA640, the Exide EB620 has 2 Ah less and 100 A less cranking power. The EA640 cranks harder; the EB620 is only a good option if your original battery says 540 A or less. Both measure 242 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
Exide EA640 or EA612: what changes?
Mainly the height: the EA640 is 190 mm tall (L2) and the Exide EA612 175 mm (LB2), with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the EA612 offers 61 Ah and 600 A against 64 Ah and 640 A. Before choosing between the EA640 and the EA612, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.
Can the Exide EA640 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

How much does the Exide EA640 weigh?
14.9 kg, with 64 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Exide EB620 (62 Ah) weighs 13.9 kg.
