## Lead-acid technology in the ED1803

Inside, the ED1803 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. It is a robust, well-known technology with a good capacity-to-price ratio, and still the basis of most cars, trucks and traction equipment.

## Check this before ordering the Exide ED1803

- Measure the space: the ED1803 takes up 513 × 223 × 223 mm.
- Your current battery should say about 180 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 900 A or less, the ED1803 covers your engine.
