The Exide EC700 at a glance
The Exide EC700 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. If your car has no Start-Stop and had a 70 Ah battery, the EC700 is a direct replacement.
At 70 Ah it is the usual size for compact diesels and mid-size petrol saloons. The EC700 belongs to the Exide EXIDE CLASSIC range. More Exide batteries

What to look at before buying the EC700
- Measure the space: the EC700 takes up 278 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L3).
- Polarity of the EC700: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- With 70 Ah, the EC700 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 640 A or less, the EC700 covers your engine.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the EC700 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
Inside the EC700: lead-acid technology
The EC700 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. In cars without energy management, the EC700 needs no special registration: just connect it.
