Exide Excell EB740 Car Battery 12V 74Ah 680A

The Exide Excell EB740 is a 12V, 74Ah and 680A starter battery designed for everyday cars with standard electrical equipment. It provides dependable starting and 15% more starting power than an equivalent conventional battery.

This model uses flooded lead-acid technology and a robust 3DX grid to improve conductivity and service life. It is suitable for vehicles without Start-Stop that require an L03 case, right-hand positive terminal and B13 hold-down.

Exide EB740 technical specifications

Which vehicles is it suitable for?

The Exide EB740 is intended for petrol or diesel vehicles requiring a 74Ah, 680A battery measuring 278 × 175 × 190mm. Before ordering, check that the reference, dimensions, polarity, terminal position and hold-down match the battery currently fitted.

Capacity and starting power alone do not guarantee compatibility. If the vehicle manufacturer specifies AGM or EFB technology for Start-Stop, it must not be replaced by a conventional flooded battery.

What does 680A mean?

It is the cold cranking current measured to the EN standard and influences the battery's ability to start the engine, especially in low temperatures.

How is the battery shipped?

It is shipped in protective packaging designed to reduce knocks, scratches and movement during transport.
