Delivers reliable cold-cranks even after weeks of inactivity and supports stable auxiliary loads (lights, climate control, infotainment). ### Why this car battery? - **Original-equipment quality** without dealership prices - **Lasts 4 to 6 years** buy once instead of twice - **Real human tech support** if you have any doubts before buying πŸ”Œ Voltage 12 V ⚑ Capacity 68 Ah C20 πŸ”‹ Cold cranking 650 A EN-1 πŸ“ Dimensions 277Γ—175Γ—190 mm βš™οΈ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left βš–οΈ Weight 17 kg 🏷️ Model EXIDE Premium ## Description ## Car battery Exide EA681 Premium 68Ah 650A 12V 12*V* Voltage 68*Ah* Capacity 650*A* Cold cranking 17*kg* Weight The **Exide EA681** from the **Premium** range delivers **68 Ah** and **650 A** of cold cranking current (EN) at **12 V**: the usual specification for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. Measuring 277 Γ— 175 Γ— 190 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for cars fitted from the factory with a 68 Ah battery of this format. - Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price. - Stable voltage for the vehicle electronics (ECU, sensors, climate control). - Low self-discharge: copes with long stops without losing charge. - Designed to last several years under normal daily use. ### What the Exide EA681 is for With 68 Ah, the Exide EA681 is sized for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. It is a direct replacement for the original battery as long as dimensions and terminals match. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 17 kg, EN taper post terminals and B13 hold-down. ### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Exide EA681 In terms of format, the Exide EA681 measures 277 Γ— 175 Γ— 190 mm (length Γ— width Γ— height) and weighs 17 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. ### The Exide EA681: Premium range and conventional lead-acid technology The **Premium** is the Exide range the EA681 belongs to: it shares the same construction and quality criteria with the rest of the series, and varies in capacity and format to suit each vehicle. Conventional lead-acid is the benchmark against which other technologies are compared: good cranking current, great tolerance to alternator charging and the best price per amp-hour. ### Exide: the maker behind the EA681 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 EA681 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. 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. ### Shipping, delivery 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 EA681 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 (βˆ’) 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 β€” match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (βˆ’). 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 EA681 model? Expected lifespan of the Exide EA681 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 EA681 battery? Dimensions (length Γ— width Γ— height) are 277Γ—175Γ—190 mm β€” also written as 277x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L3 case size β€” 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. ### Is the EA681 valid for my vehicle? 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 β€” we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The EA681 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide EA681? 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 β€” 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. ## Equivalent batteries - [VARTA E12](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-e12-12v-74ah-680a) - [TUDOR TB741](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tb741-74ah-680a) - [EXIDE EB741](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-eb741-12v-74ah-680a) - [KRONOBAT PB-74.1B](https://baterias.com/gb/best-price-battery-12v-74ah-pb-74_1b) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team β€” over 25 years of experience validating automotive batteries. β†’ https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com β€” Automotive batteries Β· 2026-09-29*
