Exide EA386 · Car battery 12V 38Ah 300A

Car battery Exide EA386 Premium 38Ah 300A 12V

The Exide EA386 from the Premium range delivers 38 Ah and 300 A of cold cranking current (EN) at 12 V: the usual specification for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in cars with a 187 × 127 × 220 mm format: same 38 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the right.

In short: the Exide EA386 (38 Ah, 300 A, 187 × 127 × 220 mm, positive terminal on the right). It is a conventional battery for cars without Start-Stop: if yours has Start-Stop, it needs an EFB or AGM battery of the same size. Verified equivalent alternatives: Exide EA406 and Tudor TA406.

• Direct replacement for the original battery in size and terminals.
• Original-equipment build quality without the dealership price.
• Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.
• Reliable cold starts, even after weeks without driving.

What the Exide EA386 is for

Designed for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system, the Exide EA386 is the direct replacement when your vehicle uses a 38 Ah battery of this format. Before buying, compare dimensions, terminals and capacity with the battery you are replacing. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 9.90 kg, JIS terminals and B1 hold-down.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

The Exide EA386 is made in the 187 × 127 × 220 mm format and weighs 9.90 kg. The positive terminal on the right decides which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes most buying mistakes, so check it before ordering. It uses a B1 hold-down and JIS terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

The Exide EA386: Premium range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Exide catalogue, the Premium series groups the references designed for this use. The EA386 is the 38 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

In a conventional battery the electrolyte is liquid and the lead plates are immersed in it. It is a mature, economical and easily recycled technology, ideal for starting vehicles in normal use.

Exide: the maker behind the EA386

With more than a century of history, Exide Technologies manufactures automotive, marine, motorcycle and industrial batteries in Europe. Its presence as original equipment on assembly lines vouches for the quality of every reference. We guarantee that every Exide arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

Official warranty

The Exide EA386 comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects; the exact period is stated in the brand's conditions. If it fails through a defect within the period, we replace it free of charge.

How to make it last longer

In normal daily use the alternator keeps the battery charged; if the car stands for weeks, a maintenance charge once a month prevents deep discharge. On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water.
