OEM quality at white-label prices: calcium-silver grids, low self-discharge and compatible with all modern electrical systems. ## 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 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 70 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 740 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 260×180×186 mm ⚙️ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left ⚖️ Weight 16,7 kg 🏷️ Model EXIDE Excell ## Description ## Car battery Exide EB708 Excell 70Ah 740A 12V 12*V* Voltage 70*Ah* Capacity 740*A* Cold cranking 16.70*kg* Weight The **Exide EB708** from the **Excell** range delivers **70 Ah** and **740 A** of cold cranking current (EN) at **12 V**: the usual specification for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. Its 260 × 180 × 186 mm and the positive terminal on the left make it the exact replacement for the 70 Ah battery fitted as standard to many cars. - 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 EB708 is for With 70 Ah, the Exide EB708 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 16.70 kg and 1 terminals. ### The Exide EB708: Excell range and conventional lead-acid technology The **Excell** is the Exide range the EB708 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. 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. ### Dimensions, polarity and mounting It has external dimensions of 260 × 180 × 186 mm and weighs 16.70 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 1 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 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. We guarantee that every Exide arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty. ### How to make it last longer 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. 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. ### Official warranty The Exide EB708 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. ### 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 is the Exide EB708 battery installed in the vehicle? Allow 15-30 minutes and a 10 mm spanner. If the car keeps its battery in the boot or under a seat, it can take up to twice as long. With the engine stopped and the key removed, always start with the negative (−) terminal, then the positive (+). Free the clamp, swap the battery without turning it round (this one has positive on the left) so the polarity stays the same, and reconnect in reverse: positive (+) first, negative (−) last. Our blog guide covers it in detail; if the owner's handbook describes a different procedure, follow the manufacturer. ### What is the service life of the EB708 model? As a guide, you can expect the Exide EB708 to last 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop, although the real figure may be higher or lower. Many factors play a part: how it is used (lots of short trips, for example), temperature (cold makes every start harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, as well as the type of car and whether it has Start-Stop. ### What are the measurements of the EB708 model? Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close. It measures 260×180×186 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height. ### What polarity does the Exide EB708 battery have? On the Exide EB708, the polarity is positive on the left. 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. ### Is the EB708 valid for my vehicle? For your own vehicle: type your number plate into the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA identify model and engine), check the "Compatible vehicles" tab below, listing vehicles verified by our technical team, or message us on WhatsApp with make, model, engine and year; we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). In every case, the car manufacturer's specifications (owner's handbook) take precedence. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide EB708? To replace the Exide EB708 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size, polarity, Ah and CCA. 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. ### Exide EB708 or Tudor TB708: which one to choose? The Tudor alternative that fits where the EB708 goes, with the same polarity. Compared with the EB708 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs 9,55 € more. A straight swap with nothing to adapt; the difference is the price and the brand you prefer. ## Equivalent batteries - [TUDOR TB708](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tb708-75ah-770a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — automotive battery specialists since 2012. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-11-06*
