Before ordering the EK720, check this
- Length, width and height of the EK720: 278 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L3).
- The EK720 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
- Your current battery should say about 72 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Cold cranking: 760 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- The EK720 is AGM: it replaces an AGM or an EFB of the same size. You can swap an EFB for an AGM, but not an AGM for an EFB.
What it means that the EK720 is AGM
The EK720 is AGM: the electrolyte is absorbed in glass fibre mats, so it is sealed and spill-proof. It withstands many more cycles than a conventional lead battery, at the cost of being more sensitive to overcharging.
