## Exide EB7-A vs 12N9-4B-1, EB7L-B and EB9-B

How the EB7-A compares with Exide batteries of similar size and capacity:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide EB7-A (this one) | 8 Ah | 85 A | 135 × 75 × 135 | left | 2.9 kg |
| Exide 12N9-4B-1 | 9 Ah | 85 A | 135 × 75 × 140 | left | 3.1 kg |

| Exide EB9-B | 9 Ah | 100 A | 135 × 75 × 140 | left | 3.1 kg |

- Exide 12N9-4B-1: 1 Ah more, the same cranking power, a different case (135 × 75 × 140 mm).
- The Exide EB7L-B is the same battery with the positive terminal on the other side: choose it if your current battery has the positive terminal on the right.
- Exide EB9-B: 1 Ah more, 15 A more cranking power, a different case (135 × 75 × 140 mm).

## What to look at before buying the EB7-A

- Measure the space: the EB7-A takes up 135 × 75 × 135 mm.
- Polarity of the EB7-A: positive terminal on the left (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- With 8 Ah, the EB7-A replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 85 A or less, the EB7-A covers your engine.
