What to look at before buying the EB602
- Measure the space: the EB602 takes up 242 × 175 × 175 mm (European case size LB2).
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the EB602 is on the right.
- Your current battery should say about 60 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 540 A or less, the EB602 covers your engine.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the EB602 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
Inside the EB602: lead-acid technology
Inside, the EB602 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the EB602 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.
