## Before ordering the EL600, check this

- Measure the space: the EL600 takes up 242 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L2).
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the EL600 is on the right.
- Capacity of the EL600: 60 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
- The EL600 delivers 640 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- The EL600 is an EFB: it suits cars that had an EFB or a conventional battery. If yours had an AGM, fit another AGM.

## Inside the EL600: EFB technology

Inside, the EL600 uses EFB technology, a reinforced version of the flooded battery. It is the choice for cars with basic Start-Stop.

## 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.
