## Description

## Car battery Exide EA601 Premium 60Ah 600A 12V

12*V* Voltage
60*Ah* Capacity
600*A* Cold cranking
15*kg* Weight

The **Exide EA601** from the **Premium** range delivers **60 Ah** and **600 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 242 × 175 × 190 mm format: same 60 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the left.
- 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.

### Vehicles compatible with the Exide EA601

The Exide EA601 is compatible with more than 293 vehicles: it is fitted as original equipment or as a replacement by brands such as GAZ, Chevrolet, Lada, Daewoo, Zaz and Zastava. For anyone who needs to replace the **battery in their GAZ** or Chevrolet, this Exide EA601 reproduces the original specifications. The compatibility list also includes models from Hyundai, Izh, Chrysler, Moskvich, Dodge, Fso, Yugo and Nissan. In our database it is cross-referenced against 11 original-equipment part numbers, which gives an idea of its real coverage.

### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Exide EA601

In terms of format, the Exide EA601 measures 242 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 15 kg. The positive terminal on the left 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 B13 hold-down and EN taper post terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

### What Exide does differently

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.

### The Exide EA601: Premium range and conventional lead-acid technology

The EA601 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.
The conventional lead-acid battery remains the most widespread technology thanks to its balance of capacity, cranking current and price. Well maintained and kept charged, it offers years of reliable service in vehicles without Start-Stop.

### Usage and maintenance tips

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.

### Warranty and coverage

The Exide EA601 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.

### Delivery times and returns

Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed **before [[ks:cutoff]]**: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for **[[ks:return_days]] days** if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email.

## Frequently asked questions

### How is the Exide EA601 battery installed in the vehicle?

In most cars it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on this page. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On cars with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.

### What is the service life of the EA601 model?

Expected lifespan of the Exide EA601 is 4 to 7 years in regular use (depends on technology and climate). In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured.

### What are the dimensions of the Exide EA601 battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 242×175×190 mm — also written as 242x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L2 case size — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your car before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.

### Will the Exide EA601 battery fit my car?

Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The EA601 fits 293 verified vehicle versions in our database.

### What are the equivalents of the EA601 model?

Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop cars. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
