## Check this before ordering the Exide EB501

- Measure the space: the EB501 takes up 207 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L1).
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the EB501 is on the left.
- Your current battery should say about 50 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 450 A or less, the EB501 covers your engine.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the EB501 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.

## Inside the EB501: lead-acid technology

Inside, the EB501 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the EB501 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.
