## Description

## Who the Exide EM960 is for

The Exide EM960 is a battery for boats: engine starting or on-board service, depending on its design, with resistance to damp and hull vibration. With 100 Ah, the EM960 suits boats that had a battery of that capacity.
The EM960 belongs to the Exide EXIDE MARINA START AGM range. [The full range of Exide batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/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.

## Exide EM960 vs EQ1000: which one to choose?

What sets the EM960 apart from its neighbours in the Exide range:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide EM960 (this one) | 100 Ah | 800 A | 330 × 173 × 240 | left | 31.2 kg |
| Exide EQ1000 | 120 Ah | 1,225 A | 286 × 269 × 230 | – | 40 kg |

- Exide EQ1000: 20 Ah more, 425 A more cranking power, a different case (286 × 269 × 230 mm).

## Equivalents and alternatives to the Exide EM960

- Measure the space: the EM960 takes up 330 × 173 × 240 mm.

## 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.
