Check this before ordering the Exide EB505

  • Measure the space: the EB505 takes up 200 × 173 × 222 mm.
  • Polarity of the EB505: positive terminal on the left (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
  • Capacity of the EB505: 50 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
  • The EB505 delivers 360 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
  • If your car has Start-Stop, the EB505 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.

Lead-acid technology in the EB505

Inside, the EB505 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the EB505 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.
