Installation and maintenance tips
Rush hour in town: the engine stops at every light and the battery runs the fans, the lights and the screen. After fitting, many makes need the new battery coded through the OBD port so the alternator charges it correctly. Skipping the battery registration step can leave the new battery undercharged for months.
Same size and layout
If you prefer another make, these fit the same space with the same terminal side.

Your questions answered
How much weight should I expect to lift?
It weighs 17.5 kg. Lift with your legs and keep it upright.

Can I keep the Exide EK508 on a shelf before fitting?
Yes, gradually. Lead batteries lose a little charge each month, lithium much less. A quick charge before use is a good idea.

- ✓ Dimensions to compare: 260 × 173 × 206 mm. Do not forget the base ledge, which the hold-down clamp grips on many vehicles.
- ✓ Do not go far below your old battery's capacity; this one has 50Ah.

What AGM means for you
Gas produced during charging recombines inside an AGM battery, so it loses almost no water. Because nothing can spill, AGM batteries can live inside a cabin, a boot or under a seat. Never try to open an AGM battery to add water.
