Exide EA386 technical specifications

Which vehicles is it suitable for?

The Exide EA386 is intended for petrol or diesel vehicles requiring a 38Ah, 300A battery measuring 187 × 127 × 220mm. Before ordering, check that the reference, dimensions, polarity, terminal position and hold-down match the battery currently fitted.
