## Exide EB5L-B vs 12N5-3B and 12N5,5-3B: differences

Torn between the EB5L-B and another similar Exide? This is what changes:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide EB5L-B (this one) | 5 Ah | 65 A | 120 × 60 × 130 | right | 2 kg |
| Exide 12N5-3B | 5 Ah | 40 A | 120 × 60 × 130 | right | 2 kg |
| Exide 12N5,5-3B | 6 Ah | 45 A | 135 × 60 × 130 | right | 2.1 kg |

- Exide 12N5-3B: the same capacity, 25 A less cranking power, the same dimensions.
- Exide 12N5,5-3B: 1 Ah more, 20 A less cranking power, a different case (135 × 60 × 130 mm).

## What to look at before buying the EB5L-B

- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 65 A or less, the EB5L-B covers your engine.
- Capacity of the EB5L-B: 5 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
- The EB5L-B has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
- Length, width and height of the EB5L-B: 120 × 60 × 130 mm.

## Frequently asked questions about the Exide EB5L-B

### EB5L-B or 12N5-3B: which one suits me?

Compared with the EB5L-B, the Exide 12N5-3B has 25 A less cranking power. The EB5L-B cranks harder; the 12N5-3B is only a good option if your original battery says 40 A or less. Both measure 120 × 60 × 130 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### How much does the Exide EB5L-B weigh?

2 kg, with 5 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Exide 12N5-3B (5 Ah) weighs 2 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EB5L-B?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Fulbat FB5L-B and Varta YB5L-B. As the EB5L-B is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

### Which side is the positive terminal on the Exide EB5L-B?

On the EB5L-B, 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.

### How do I stop the motorcycle battery going flat in winter?

Connect it to a maintenance charger or disconnect it if the bike will sit for more than a month. A flat motorcycle battery sulphates in a few weeks.

## Lead-acid technology in the EB5L-B

Inside, the EB5L-B is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. It is a robust, well-known technology with a good capacity-to-price ratio, and still the basis of most cars, trucks and traction equipment.
