What to look at before buying the EB708

  • Measure the space: the EB708 takes up 260 × 180 × 186 mm.
  • Polarity of the EB708: positive terminal on the left (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
  • With 70 Ah, the EB708 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
  • The EB708 delivers 740 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
  • If your car has Start-Stop, the EB708 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.

What it means that the EB708 is lead-acid

Inside, the EB708 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the EB708 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.
