## Quick description

The Exide EA680 is a car battery with 12 V, 68 Ah and 650 A cold cranking current, case size L3 (277 × 175 × 190 mm), with the positive terminal on the right. If yours has the positive terminal on the left, you need the Exide EA681.

## Description

## Where the Exide EA680 fits

The Exide EA680 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. If your car has no Start-Stop and had a 68 Ah battery, the EA680 is a direct replacement.
At 68 Ah it is the usual size for compact diesels and mid-size petrol saloons. The EA680 belongs to the Exide EXIDE Premium range. [More Exide batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/exide-batteries)

## Exide EA680 vs EC700, EA681 and EL652: differences

Torn between the EA680 and another similar Exide? This is what changes:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide EA680 (this one) | 68 Ah | 650 A | 277 × 175 × 190 | right | 17 kg |
| Exide EC700 | 70 Ah | 640 A | 278 × 175 × 190 | right | 16 kg |
| Exide EA681 | 68 Ah | 650 A | 277 × 175 × 190 | left | 17 kg |
| Exide EL652 | 65 Ah | 650 A | 278 × 175 × 175 | right | 16.2 kg |
| Exide EB712 | 71 Ah | 670 A | 278 × 175 × 175 | right | 15.3 kg |
| Exide EA770 | 77 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 | right | 17.4 kg |

- Exide EC700: 2 Ah more, 10 A less cranking power, the same L3 case.
- The Exide EA681 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 EL652: 3 Ah less, the same cranking power, a different height (175 mm instead of 190 mm, LB3), EFB technology. It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 190 mm height of the EA680.
- Exide EB712: 3 Ah more, 20 A more cranking power, a different height (175 mm instead of 190 mm, LB3). It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 190 mm height of the EA680.
- Exide EA770: 9 Ah more, 110 A more cranking power, the same L3 case.

## What to look at before buying the EA680

- The EA680 needs 277 × 175 × 190 mm of space (European case size L3): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
- The EA680 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
- With 68 Ah, the EA680 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 650 A or less, the EA680 covers your engine.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the EA680 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.

## Inside the EA680: lead-acid technology

The EA680 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. In cars without energy management, the EA680 needs no special registration: just connect it.
