## Quick description

The Exide EC440 is a car battery with 12 V, 44 Ah and 360 A cold cranking current, case size L1 (207 × 175 × 190 mm), with the positive terminal on the right.

## Description

## Where the Exide EC440 fits

The Exide EC440 is a starter battery for cars without Start-Stop: it delivers the current the starter motor needs and then powers lights, control units and audio with the engine off. Its job is to start the engine in the cold with margin to spare and keep the car's electronics powered.
At 44 Ah it is a small size: the usual choice for petrol superminis and city cars with little equipment. The EC440 belongs to the Exide EXIDE CLASSIC range. [More Exide batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/exide-batteries)

## Exide EC440 vs EB500, EC412 and EA530

Torn between the EC440 and another similar Exide? This is what changes:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide EC440 (this one) | 44 Ah | 360 A | 207 × 175 × 190 | right | 11.2 kg |
| Exide EB500 | 50 Ah | 450 A | 207 × 175 × 190 | right | 12.1 kg |
| Exide EC412 | 41 Ah | 370 A | 207 × 175 × 175 | right | 10.6 kg |
| Exide EA530 | 53 Ah | 540 A | 207 × 175 × 190 | right | 12.8 kg |

- Exide EB500: 6 Ah more, 90 A more cranking power, the same L1 case.
- Exide EC412: 3 Ah less, 10 A more cranking power, a different height (175 mm instead of 190 mm, LB1). It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 190 mm height of the EC440.
- Exide EA530: 9 Ah more, 180 A more cranking power, the same L1 case.

## Equivalents and alternatives to the Exide EC440

Batteries that fit the EC440's tray with the same polarity; besides other conventional batteries, an EFB or AGM of this size is a valid upgrade for the EC440.

| Model | Technology | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tudor TC440 | Lead-acid | 44 Ah | 360 A | 207 × 175 × 190 |
| Fulmen FC440 | Lead-acid | 44 Ah | 360 A | 207 × 175 × 190 |
| Deta DC440 | Lead-acid | 44 Ah | 360 A | 207 × 175 × 190 |
| Varta B19 | Lead-acid | 45 Ah | 400 A | 207 × 175 × 190 |
| Kronobat SD-45.0 | Lead-acid | 45 Ah | 400 A | 207 × 175 × 190 |

## Lead-acid technology in the EC440

The EC440 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. Avoid leaving them discharged, as they sulphate, and charge them with a charger that cuts off or switches to maintenance when finished.

## Before ordering the EC440, check this

- If your car has Start-Stop, the EC440 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- Cold cranking: 360 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- With 44 Ah, the EC440 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Polarity of the EC440: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Length, width and height of the EC440: 207 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L1).

## Frequently asked questions about the Exide EC440

### EC440 or EB500: which one suits me?

Compared with the EC440, the Exide EB500 has 6 Ah more and 90 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 450 A or more, choose the EB500; if it says 360 A or less, the EC440 is enough. Both measure 207 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### Exide EC440 or EC412: what changes?

Mainly the height: the EC440 is 190 mm tall (L1) and the Exide EC412 175 mm (LB1), with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the EC412 offers 41 Ah and 370 A against 44 Ah and 360 A. Before choosing between the EC440 and the EC412, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.

### Can the Exide EC440 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

No. The EC440 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM.

### How much does the Exide EC440 weigh?

11.2 kg, with 44 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Exide EB500 (50 Ah) weighs 12.1 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EC440?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Tudor TC440, Fulmen FC440 and Deta DC440. As the EC440 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

### What case size is the Exide EC440?

Case size L1: 207 × 175 × 190 mm. The EC440 fits any standard L1 battery tray such as the Tudor TC440.

### Which side is the positive terminal on the Exide EC440?

On the EC440, the positive terminal is on the right with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.
