## Frequently asked questions about the Exide EQ600

### EQ600 or EP500: which one suits me?

Compared with the EQ600, the Exide EP500 has 10 Ah less and 80 A less cranking power. The EQ600 cranks harder; the EP500 is only a good option if your original battery says 680 A or less. Mind the space: the EP500 measures 242 × 175 × 190 mm.

### How much does the Exide EQ600 weigh?

20.6 kg, with 70 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Exide EP500 (60 Ah) weighs 17.8 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EQ600?

Only other AGM batteries with its dimensions and polarity: Varta LA70 and Exide EP600. Neither an EFB nor a conventional battery replaces the EQ600.

### What case size is the Exide EQ600?

Case size L3: 278 × 175 × 190 mm. The EQ600 fits any standard L3 battery tray such as the Varta LA70.

### Which side is the positive terminal on the Exide EQ600?

On the EQ600, 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.

### 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.
