## Exide ELT12B vs ELTZ14S and ELTX12

Torn between the ELT12B and another similar Exide? This is what changes:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide ELT12B (this one) | 5 Ah | 260 A | 150 × 70 × 130 | left | 0.9 kg |
| Exide ELTZ14S | 5 Ah | 290 A | 150 × 90 × 95 | left | 1 kg |
| Exide ELTX12 | 4 Ah | 210 A | 150 × 90 × 95 | left | 0.8 kg |

- Exide ELTZ14S: the same capacity, 30 A more cranking power, a different case (150 × 90 × 95 mm).
- Exide ELTX12: 1 Ah less, 50 A less cranking power, a different case (150 × 90 × 95 mm).

## What to look at before buying the ELT12B

- The ELT12B delivers 260 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- With 5 Ah, the ELT12B replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Polarity of the ELT12B: positive terminal on the left (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- The ELT12B needs 150 × 70 × 130 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
