Where it fits: the Exide EB442 is one of our car batteries, belongs to our Exide batteries and by capacity it sits among our 44Ah batteries.
The Exide EB442 in practice
Which cars do our customers fit it to?
Mostly to Renault Clio and SEAT Ibiza (2 orders with the vehicle identified). Always confirm compatibility with your registration: tray size and terminal layout change between versions.
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.

Car battery Exide EB442 Excell 44Ah 420A 12V
The Exide EB442 from the Excell range delivers 44 Ah and 420 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 207 × 175 × 175 mm format: same 44 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the right.
In short: the Exide EB442 (44 Ah, 420 A, 207 × 175 × 175 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: Tudor TB442 and Varta B18.
- 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.
Size, terminals and hold-down of the Exide EB442
In terms of format, the Exide EB442 measures 207 × 175 × 175 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 10.60 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 B13 hold-down and 1 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.
Vehicles compatible with the Exide EB442
This battery appears as compatible in more than 321 vehicles from manufacturers such as Ford, Renault, Opel, Vauxhall, Nissan and Westfield. It is a go-to option when you need a battery for a Ford, Renault or other models that use this same format. Models from Volkswagen, Suzuki, Lotus, Rover, Chevrolet, Seat, Fiat and Citroën are added to that list. It covers 102 original-equipment references, one of the widest coverages in its format.
The Exide EB442: Excell range and conventional lead-acid technology
Within the Exide catalogue, the Excell series groups the references designed for this use. The EB442 is the 44 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.
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 EB442
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. All the Exide batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Manufacturer's warranty
The Exide EB442 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.
Care and maintenance
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. Avoid leaving lights or accessories on with the engine off: most batteries fail not through defects but through repeated deep discharges.
When you get it and how to return it
Order before 6:00 pm with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have 14 days to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions
How do I fit the EB442 model in my car?
Before you start, check the car handbook: the manufacturer's procedure always comes first. Our full step-by-step guide is on the blog. Allow 15-30 minutes and a 10 mm spanner for a LB1 case like this one. If the car keeps its battery in the boot or under a seat, it can take up to twice as long. What matters most is the terminal order: removing, negative (−) before positive (+); refitting, positive (+) before negative (−). In between, with the engine off and the key out, release the clamp and fit the new battery the same way round as the original, positive on the right (polarity).
What is the service life of the EB442 model?
As a guide, you can expect the Exide EB442 to last 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop, although the real figure may be higher or lower. 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 EB442 model?
The Exide EB442 takes up 207×175×175 mm (length, width and height, terminals included), the European LB1 case size, with a B13 hold-down. Before buying, measure the space in your car: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing.
What polarity does the Exide EB442 battery have?
On the Exide EB442, the polarity is positive on the right. If your current battery has its positive on the other side, this one is not suitable without longer cables or a reconfigured system (short-circuit risk). To check, stand the battery in front of you with the terminals nearest you: the positive (+) is the one with the red ring.
Will the Exide EB442 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)). The car manufacturer's specifications always take priority over our tables. The compatibility list for the EB442 runs to 306 verified vehicle versions.
What are the equivalents of the EB442 model?
Not just any technology will do: an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop cars. The "Equivalents" section further down lists the recommended alternatives. A direct equivalent needs what this EB442 offers: 207×175×175 mm, positive on the right, the same Ah and CCA and conventional technology.
