Your questions answered
How many cold cranking amps does this battery give?
Under the EN test it delivers 680A.
Should I charge a stored battery before use?
Yes, gradually. Lead batteries lose a little charge each month, lithium much less. A quick charge before use is a good idea.
Will the Exide EG1206 fit my battery space?
Measurements are 510 × 175 × 225 mm, and it weighs 31.8 kg. Check the height under the bonnet or seat as well.
What do 120Ah and 680A mean for this battery?
Expect 680A of cranking power and 120Ah of storage. Matching or beating your old label is the safe rule.
The lead-acid technology explained
Six cells of about two volts each make up a typical 12-volt battery. Tractors and trucks use robust flooded batteries. Top up only with distilled water, after charging, never above the mark.

Practical advice for trucks and farm machinery
Tail lifts on delivery lorries pull heavy current dozens of times a day. On a 24-volt vehicle, renew both 12-volt batteries together with the same reference. Leaving a battery flat over a season often finishes it.
