## Quick description

Exide EL1000: Start-Stop battery (EFB) with 12 V, 100 Ah and 900 A cold cranking current, case size L5 (353 × 175 × 190 mm), with the positive terminal on the right.

## Description

## Who the Exide EL1000 is for

The Exide EL1000 is a battery for cars with Start-Stop: it withstands many more starting and partial-discharge cycles than a conventional battery and powers the electronics every time the engine stops at the lights. The EL1000 is designed for cars that switch the engine off at every stop and restart it dozens of times per trip.
At 100 Ah it moves into large diesels, SUVs, vans and cars with heavy electrical equipment. The EL1000 belongs to the Exide EXIDE EFB range. [More Exide batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/exide-batteries)

## Exide EL1000 codes and part numbers

The EL1000 is listed under these codes on labels, in garages and in catalogues:

| Not to be confused with | Exide EB1000 (100 Ah, 720 A), Exide EL1050 (105 Ah, 950 A), Exide EM1000 (50 Ah, 800 A, positive terminal on the left) |

## Exide EL1000 vs EK960 and EL1050

What sets the EL1000 apart from its neighbours in the Exide range:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide EL1000 (this one) | 100 Ah | 900 A | 353 × 175 × 190 | right | 26 kg |
| Exide EK960 | 96 Ah | 850 A | 353 × 175 × 190 | right | 26.1 kg |
| Exide EL1050 | 105 Ah | 950 A | 392 × 175 × 190 | right | 26 kg |

- Exide EK960: 4 Ah less, 50 A less cranking power, the same L5 case, AGM technology.
- Exide EL1050: 5 Ah more, 50 A more cranking power, a different case (392 × 175 × 190 mm).

## Equivalents and alternatives to the Exide EL1000

Alternatives to the EL1000 with its dimensions and polarity, in EFB or AGM only: a conventional battery cannot cope with the Start-Stop cycles an EFB is built for.

| Model | Technology | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tudor TL1000 | EFB | 100 Ah | 900 A | 353 × 175 × 190 |
| Fulmen FL1000 | EFB | 100 Ah | 900 A | 353 × 175 × 190 |
| Varta N95 | EFB | 95 Ah | 850 A | 353 × 175 × 190 |
| Kronobat PE-95-EFB | EFB | 95 Ah | 850 A | 353 × 175 × 190 |
| Fulmen FK960 | AGM | 96 Ah | 850 A | 353 × 175 × 190 |
| Tudor TK960 | AGM | 96 Ah | 850 A | 353 × 175 × 190 |

## EFB technology in the EL1000

The EL1000 is an EFB: flooded lead-acid with reinforced plates and separators for Start-Stop. It can be replaced by an AGM, but an AGM must never be replaced by an EFB.

## Before ordering the EL1000, check this

- The EL1000 is an EFB: it suits cars that had an EFB or a conventional battery. If yours had an AGM, fit another AGM.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 900 A or less, the EL1000 covers your engine.
- Your current battery should say about 100 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- The EL1000 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
- Measure the space: the EL1000 takes up 353 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L5).

## Frequently asked questions about the Exide EL1000

### Exide EL1000 or EK960?

Compared with the EL1000, the Exide EK960 has 4 Ah less, 50 A less cranking power and AGM technology. The EL1000 cranks harder; the EK960 is only a good option if your original battery says 850 A or less. Both measure 353 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### Can the Exide EL1000 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

Yes, the EL1000 is an EFB: it suits Start-Stop without brake energy recovery, or cars that already had an EFB. If your car left the factory with an AGM, fit another AGM.

### How much does the Exide EL1000 weigh?

The EL1000 weighs 26 kg. For reference, the Exide EK960 (96 Ah) weighs 26.1 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EL1000?

In EFB or AGM, with its dimensions and polarity: Tudor TL1000, Fulmen FL1000 and Varta N95. A conventional battery does not replace the EL1000.

### What case size is the Exide EL1000?

Case size L5: 353 × 175 × 190 mm. The EL1000 fits any standard L5 battery tray such as the Tudor TL1000.

### Which side is the positive terminal on the Exide EL1000?

The EL1000 has the positive terminal on the right, looking at the battery from its long side with the terminals closest to you.

### Which charger does the Exide EL1000 need?

An automatic charger with a lead-acid or EFB mode. Modern chargers recognise it like a conventional battery; avoid old ones without voltage control.
