## Quick description

The Exide EL700 is a Start-Stop battery (EFB) with 12 V, 70 Ah and 760 A cold cranking current, case size L3 (278 × 175 × 190 mm), with the positive terminal on the right.

## Description

## 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](https://bateriasonline.es/en/exide-batteries)

## Exide EL700 vs EK720 and EL652

Torn between the EL700 and another similar Exide? This is what changes:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide EL700 (this one) | 70 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 | right | 19.3 kg |
| Exide EK720 | 72 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 | right | 20.6 kg |
| Exide EL652 | 65 Ah | 650 A | 278 × 175 × 175 | right | 16.2 kg |

- Exide EK720: 2 Ah more, the same cranking power, the same L3 case, AGM technology.
- Exide EL652: 5 Ah less, 110 A less cranking power, a different case (278 × 175 × 175 mm).

## Equivalents and alternatives to the Exide EL700

As the EL700 is an EFB, only EFB or AGM batteries of the same size and polarity are listed: you can step up to AGM, but not down to a conventional battery.

| Model | Technology | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kronobat PE-70-EFB | EFB | 70 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 |
| Varta N70 | EFB | 70 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 |
| Tudor TL700 | EFB | 70 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 |
| Fulmen FL700 | EFB | 70 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 |
| Deta DL700 | EFB | 70 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 |
| Varta A7 | AGM | 70 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 |

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.

## 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.

### What case size is the Exide EL700?

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

### Which side is the positive terminal on the Exide EL700?

On the EL700, 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.
