The EM960 belongs to the Exide EXIDE MARINA START AGM range. The full range of Exide batteries
AGM technology in the EM960
The EM960 is AGM: the electrolyte is absorbed in glass fibre mats, so it is sealed and spill-proof. It withstands many more cycles than a conventional lead battery, at the cost of being more sensitive to overcharging.

Frequently asked questions about the Exide EM960
EM960 or EQ1000: which one suits me?
Compared with the EM960, the Exide EQ1000 has 20 Ah more and 425 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 1,225 A or more, choose the EQ1000; if it says 800 A or less, the EM960 is enough. Mind the space: the EQ1000 measures 286 × 269 × 230 mm.
How much does the Exide EM960 weigh?
31.2 kg, with 100 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Exide EQ1000 (120 Ah) weighs 40 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EM960?
Only other AGM batteries with its dimensions and polarity: Fulbat FDM12-825-M31 and Exide EP900. Neither an EFB nor a conventional battery replaces the EM960.
Which side is the positive terminal on the Exide EM960?
On the EM960, the positive terminal is on the left with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.
How do I look after the boat battery in winter?
Leave it 100% charged, disconnected or on a marine maintenance charger. A battery that spends the winter half-discharged loses capacity permanently.
