Exide EB740 in everyday use
Drivers who work nights often start their cars in the coldest hours. Note the radio code before disconnecting anything. Buying by price alone and ignoring the size of the tray leads to a battery that will not sit flat.
Care tips for lead-acid batteries
During discharge, the plates and acid form lead sulphate and water. Flooded traction batteries keep golf buggies and forklifts running for years. Pour in only distilled water, and only once the charge has finished.
Make sure it fits your vehicle or equipment

- ✓ Check 278 × 175 × 190 mm against the tray, not just the old battery.
