What it means that the MS-74.0 is lead-acid
Inside, the MS-74.0 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. It is a robust, well-known technology with a good capacity-to-price ratio, and still the basis of most cars, trucks and traction equipment.
Check this before ordering the Kronobat MS-74.0
- If your car has Start-Stop, the MS-74.0 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- Cold cranking: 750 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- Your current battery should say about 74 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Polarity of the MS-74.0: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- The MS-74.0 needs 278 × 175 × 175 mm of space (European case size LB3): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
