- The EL600 delivers 640 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.

Frequently asked questions about the Exide EL600
EL600 or EK620: which one suits me?
Compared with the EL600, the Exide EK620 has 2 Ah more, 40 A more cranking power and AGM technology. If your current battery says 680 A or more, choose the EK620; if it says 640 A or less, the EL600 is enough. Both measure 242 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
Can the Exide EL600 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
Yes, the EL600 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 EL600 weigh?
17.5 kg, with 60 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Exide EK620 (62 Ah) weighs 17.9 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EL600?
In EFB or AGM, with its dimensions and polarity: Varta N60, Kronobat PE-60-EFB and Tudor TL600. A conventional battery does not replace the EL600.
What case size is the Exide EL600?
Case size L2: 242 × 175 × 190 mm. The EL600 fits any standard L2 battery tray such as the Varta N60.
Which side is the positive terminal on the Exide EL600?
On the EL600, the positive terminal is on the right with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.
Can I fit the Exide EL600 if my car came with an AGM battery?
Only if the EL600 is AGM. A car that leaves the factory with AGM must always run AGM; an EFB in its place will not last and may trigger dashboard warnings.
