Frequently asked questions about the Exide EF1202

Exide EF1202 or EG1100?

Compared with the EF1202, the Exide EG1100 has 10 Ah less and 120 A less cranking power. The EF1202 cranks harder; the EG1100 is only a good option if your original battery says 750 A or less. Both measure 349 × 175 × 235 mm, so they fit the same tray.

Exide EF1202 or EF1250: what changes?

Mainly the height: the EF1202 is 235 mm tall and the Exide EF1250 285 mm, with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the EF1250 offers 125 Ah and 850 A against 120 Ah and 870 A. Before choosing between the EF1202 and the EF1250, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.

Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EF1202?

Which side is the positive terminal on the Exide EF1202?

The EF1202 has the positive terminal on the right, looking at the battery from its long side with the terminals closest to you.

Are truck batteries fitted in pairs?

Almost always, in series for 24 V. Replace them in matched pairs: mixing a new one with an old one unbalances charging and shortens the new one's life.
