Lead-acid technology in the EN500

Inside, the EN500 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the EN500 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.

Check this before ordering the Exide EN500

  • Measure the space: the EN500 takes up 207 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L1).
  • Polarity of the EN500: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
  • Your current battery should say about 50 Ah; a little more is also fine.
  • Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 450 A or less, the EN500 covers your engine.
