Buying the Exide EC400 online
Some drivers know their battery only as the Exide EC400 written on an old invoice, and that is enough. Size, polarity and starting power are what make a car battery fit, and the table covers all three. Plenty of drivers buy batteries online now that every figure is shown up front.
With 40Ah, it suits smaller engines and machines with few accessories.
Check before ordering
- ✓ Rated 40Ah: check that the charger or alternator in your system can refill a battery of that capacity in reasonable time.
- ✓ Starting power: 320A to the EN standard. Match or beat the figure on your current label.
- ✓ Built with lead-acid technology: if your vehicle or system was set up for another chemistry, check the charging settings first.

Your questions answered
Is the plus post on the correct side for my car?
Polarity here: positive on the right-hand side. Look at the unit in your vehicle too, as reversed polarity often leaves the cables too short.
Is the Exide EC400 AGM, EFB, gel or lead-acid?
Most smart chargers have a mode for lead-acid. Select it before charging; an unsuitable programme can shorten battery life.
Are there other sizes in the same series?
Yes: it is part of EXIDE CLASSIC. Other members of that family use the same technology.
About the technology: lead-acid
During discharge, the plates and acid form lead sulphate and water. Trucks and tractors often rely on robust flooded batteries. Store flooded batteries charged and recharge every few months.
Alternatives that fit the same space
Same format, different makers: these alternatives match the Exide EC400 in size and layout.

Fitting and everyday care
Classic cars stored in a garage all winter are famous for flat batteries in spring. Check the alternator belt while the bonnet is open. A battery more than five winters old is living on borrowed time in most cars.
