Inside the EB608: lead-acid technology

Inside, the EB608 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.

Before ordering the EB608, check this

  • If your car has Start-Stop, the EB608 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
  • Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 640 A or less, the EB608 covers your engine.
  • With 60 Ah, the EB608 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
  • With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the EB608 is on the left.
  • The EB608 needs 230 × 180 × 186 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
