Where the Exide EB500 fits

The Exide EB500 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 50 Ah it covers petrol compacts and small diesels, the best-selling format in Europe. The EB500 belongs to the Exide EXIDE Excell range. More Exide batteries

  • Exide EB501: identical to the EB500 except for the positive terminal, which is on the other side (positive terminal on the left).
  • Exide EA472: 3 Ah less, the same cranking power, a different height (175 mm instead of 190 mm, LB1). It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 190 mm height of the EB500.
  • Exide EC440: 6 Ah less, 90 A less cranking power, the same L1 case.

Lead-acid technology in the EB500

The EB500 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. In cars without energy management, the EB500 needs no special registration: just connect it.

What to look at before buying the EB500

  • If your car has Start-Stop, the EB500 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
  • Cold cranking: 450 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
  • With 50 Ah, the EB500 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
  • The EB500 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
  • Length, width and height of the EB500: 207 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L1).

Frequently asked questions about the Exide EB500

EB500 or EA530: which one suits me?

Compared with the EB500, the Exide EA530 has 3 Ah more and 90 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 540 A or more, choose the EA530; if it says 450 A or less, the EB500 is enough. Both measure 207 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.

Exide EB500 or EB501: what is the difference?

Only the polarity: the EB500 has the positive terminal on the right and the EB501 the positive terminal on the left. Capacity (50 Ah), cranking power and dimensions are identical.

Exide EB500 or EA472: what changes?

Mainly the height: the EB500 is 190 mm tall (L1) and the Exide EA472 175 mm (LB1), with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the EA472 offers 47 Ah and 450 A against 50 Ah and 450 A. Before choosing between the EB500 and the EA472, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.

Can the Exide EB500 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

No. The EB500 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM.

How much does the Exide EB500 weigh?

12.1 kg, with 50 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Exide EA530 (53 Ah) weighs 12.8 kg.

Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EB500?

Its Bosch equivalent is the Bosch S4 002, the same as for the Varta C22. Bosch is not part of our catalogue; we list it so you can compare.

What case size is the Exide EB500?

Case size L1: 207 × 175 × 190 mm. The EB500 fits any standard L1 battery tray such as the Tudor TB500.
