Who the Exide EL700 is for
The Exide EL700 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 70 Ah it is the usual size for compact diesels and mid-size petrol saloons. The EL700 belongs to the Exide EXIDE EFB range. The full range of Exide batteries

Inside the EL700: EFB technology
The EL700 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.
Check this before ordering the Exide EL700
- The EL700 is an EFB: it suits cars that had an EFB or a conventional battery. If yours had an AGM, fit another AGM.
- Cold cranking: 760 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- Your current battery should say about 70 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Polarity of the EL700: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Measure the space: the EL700 takes up 278 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L3).
Frequently asked questions about the Exide EL700
EL700 or EK720: which one suits me?
Compared with the EL700, the Exide EK720 has 2 Ah more and AGM technology. With the same cranking power (760 A), the EL700 and the EK720 differ in capacity: the one with more Ah supports more load with the engine off. Both measure 278 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
Can the Exide EL700 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
Yes, the EL700 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 EL700 weigh?
19.3 kg, with 70 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Exide EK720 (72 Ah) weighs 20.6 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EL700?
In EFB or AGM, with its dimensions and polarity: Kronobat PE-70-EFB, Varta N70 and Tudor TL700. A conventional battery does not replace the EL700. Its Bosch equivalent is the Bosch S4 E08, the same as for the Varta N70. Bosch is not part of our catalogue; we list it so you can compare.

Case size L3: 278 × 175 × 190 mm. The EL700 fits any standard L3 battery tray such as the Kronobat PE-70-EFB.
