Who the Exide EL1050 is for

The Exide EL1050 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. It takes repeated discharges without losing capacity the way a conventional battery would.

At 105 Ah it is a large battery: vans, 4x4s and vehicles with high electrical demand. The EL1050 belongs to the Exide EXIDE EFB range. More Exide batteries

What to look at before buying the EL1050

  • Length, width and height of the EL1050: 392 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L6).
  • Polarity of the EL1050: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
  • Your current battery should say about 105 Ah; a little more is also fine.
  • The EL1050 delivers 950 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
  • The EL1050 is an EFB: it suits cars that had an EFB or a conventional battery. If yours had an AGM, fit another AGM.

What it means that the EL1050 is EFB

The EL1050 is an EFB: flooded lead-acid with reinforced plates and separators for Start-Stop. Compared with a conventional battery, the EL1050 withstands far more starts and partial discharges.

Frequently asked questions about the Exide EL1050

Exide EL1050 or EK1060?

Compared with the EL1050, the Exide EK1060 has 1 Ah more and AGM technology. With the same cranking power (950 A), the EL1050 and the EK1060 differ in capacity: the one with more Ah supports more load with the engine off. Both measure 392 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.

Can the Exide EL1050 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

Yes, the EL1050 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.
