| Model | Technology | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tudor TB704 | Lead-acid | 70 Ah | 540 A | 270 × 173 × 222 |

What to look at before buying the EB704
- Measure the space: the EB704 takes up 270 × 173 × 222 mm.
- Polarity of the EB704: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Your current battery should say about 70 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- The EB704 delivers 540 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the EB704 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
Lead-acid technology in the EB704
Inside, the EB704 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the EB704 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.

Exide EB704 or EA754?
Compared with the EB704, the Exide EA754 has 5 Ah more and 90 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 630 A or more, choose the EA754; if it says 540 A or less, the EB704 is enough. Both measure 270 × 173 × 222 mm, so they fit the same tray.
What is the difference between the Exide EB704 and the EB705?
