The Exide EA406 in practice

When not to choose it

If your car shuts the engine off at the lights, rule it out: Start-Stop demands EFB or AGM and a conventional battery lasts months in that duty. And never choose fewer Ah or A than the original.

The Exide EA406 car battery is rated at 12 V, 40 Ah and 350 A of cold cranking current (EN) from the Premium range, and is designed for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. Its 187 × 127 × 220 mm and the positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 40 Ah battery fitted as standard to many cars.

In short: the Exide EA406 (40 Ah, 350 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 EA386 and Tudor TA406.

  • Stable voltage for the vehicle electronics (ECU, sensors, climate control).
  • Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.
  • Designed to last several years under normal daily use.
  • Low self-discharge: copes with long stops without losing charge.

What the Exide EA406 is for

Designed for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system, the Exide EA406 is the direct replacement when your vehicle uses a 40 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.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

In terms of format, the Exide EA406 measures 187 × 127 × 220 mm (length × width × height) 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. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change.

The Exide EA406: Premium range and conventional lead-acid technology

The EA406 is part of the Exide Premium range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.

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 EA406

Exide is one of the world's largest battery manufacturers and an original-equipment supplier to many car makers. Its European plants produce starter, industrial and leisure batteries under original-equipment quality controls. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.

Warranty and coverage

The Exide EA406 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.

Usage and maintenance tips

On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. Keep the terminals clean and tight, and check that the resting voltage does not drop below 12.4 V: below that it is time to recharge.

When you get it and how to return it

Orders placed before 6:00 pm with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have 14 days to return an unused battery; in mainland Spain and Portugal collection is free. We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships.

Frequently asked questions

How do I fit the EA406 model in my car?

Steps: 1) switch off and remove the key; 2) find the battery (bonnet, boot or under a seat); 3) undo the negative (−), then the positive (+); 4) remove the clamp and the old battery; 5) fit the new one facing the same way (positive on the right) to match the polarity; 6) connect the positive (+) and finally the negative (−). Tool: a 10 mm spanner. Time: 15-30 minutes on almost every car, and up to double if the battery is not under the bonnet but in the boot or under a seat. Before you start, check the car handbook: the manufacturer's procedure always comes first. Our full step-by-step guide is on the blog.

How many years does this battery last?

As a rough estimate, the Exide EA406 typically lasts 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. Actual lifespan varies with climate (cold starts, heat evaporating the electrolyte), with usage and short journeys, with the condition of the alternator and charging system, with power draw while parked and with maintenance; the type of car and Start-Stop also count.

What are the measurements of the EA406 model?

Length × width × height: 187x127x220 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals. Hold-down: B1. Measure your car's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close.

Which side is the positive terminal on this battery?

Polarity of the Exide EA406: positive on the right. It must match your current battery: reversed polarity means lengthening cables or reconfiguring the system, with a risk of short circuit. Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring.

Does this battery fit my car?

The quickest way is to enter your number plate in the finder: DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine. You can also look at the "Compatible vehicles" tab, verified by our technical team, or send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp; we answer during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). If our table and the car handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says.

Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?

Technology matters too: in Start-Stop cars, an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery. The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page. A battery interchangeable with the Exide EA406 must match it on dimensions (187×127×220 mm), polarity (positive on the right), capacity (40 Ah) and cranking current (350 A).

Exide EA406 or Exide EA386: which one to choose?

Same family as the EA406, one step down. Compared with the EA406 it has 2 Ah less and 50 A of cold cranking less. It costs the same. Fine if your car originally had that smaller capacity; if it came with the EA406, do not go down.

Exide EA406 or Tudor TA406: which one to choose?

It is the verified Tudor equivalent for the EA406 tray. Compared with the EA406 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs the same. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same.
