## Frequently asked questions about the Exide EB18L-A

### EB18L-A or AGM12-19: which one suits me?

Compared with the EB18L-A, the Exide AGM12-19 has 80 A more cranking power and AGM technology. If your current battery says 270 A or more, choose the AGM12-19; if it says 190 A or less, the EB18L-A is enough. Mind the space: the AGM12-19 measures 175 × 90 × 155 mm.

### How much does the Exide EB18L-A weigh?

6 kg, with 18 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Exide AGM12-19 (18 Ah) weighs 6.1 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EB18L-A?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Varta YB18L-A. As the EB18L-A is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

### Which side is the positive terminal on the Exide EB18L-A?

On the EB18L-A, the positive terminal is on the right with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.

### Does the Exide EB18L-A come charged and ready to fit?

Sealed AGM and gel batteries leave the factory charged and ready. Conventional ones with a separate acid pack are activated when filled and should be charged before fitting.

## Lead-acid technology in the EB18L-A

The EB18L-A is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. Avoid leaving them discharged, as they sulphate, and charge them with a charger that cuts off or switches to maintenance when finished.
