## Inside the SD-88.0B: lead-acid technology

- If your car has Start-Stop, the SD-88.0B is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- Cold cranking: 740 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- Your current battery should say about 88 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the SD-88.0B is on the right.
- The SD-88.0B needs 353 × 175 × 175 mm of space (European case size LB5): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
