About the Exide EC412

Some drivers know their battery only as the Exide EC412 written on an old invoice, and that is enough. Weighing 10.6 kg, it is a manageable lift for one person. Comparing batteries online side by side rules out the wrong size in seconds.

41Ah keeps the battery small, handy for tight trays.

Before you order: a quick checklist

• ✓ Size check: 207 × 175 × 175 mm. A battery even slightly taller than the original can touch the bonnet or the seat base.
• ✓ Same box, opposite posts? Many sizes exist in both layouts. This one is positive on the right-hand side.
• ✓ Capacity 41Ah: equal to or a little above your old label is ideal.

Fitting and everyday care

Heavy rain and wipers, lights and demisters all running ask a lot of a small battery. Take the negative lead off first and put it back last when swapping the battery. Buying by price alone and ignoring the size of the tray leads to a battery that will not sit flat.
