The Exide EC412 in practice

When not to choose it

Rule it out if the car has Start-Stop, even if the dimensions match: conventional technology cannot take that cycling. And always keep at least the original Ah and A.

The Exide EC412 from the Classic range is rated at 12 V, 41 Ah and 370 A of cold cranking current (EN), a common choice for classic and vintage cars with their original electrical system. Its 207 × 175 × 175 mm and the positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 41 Ah battery fitted as standard to many classic cars.

In short: the Exide EC412 (41 Ah, 370 A, 207 × 175 × 175 mm, positive terminal on the right). Verified equivalent alternatives: Tudor TC412 and Tudor TA472.

  • Behaves well after long periods without use.
  • Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.
  • Low self-discharge for cars that rarely leave the garage.
  • Safe starting for carburettor engines and classic ignition.

Vehicles compatible with the Exide EC412

This battery appears as compatible in more than 113 vehicles from manufacturers such as Ford, Renault, Volkswagen, Opel, Vauxhall and Rover. For anyone who needs to replace the battery in their Ford or Renault, this Exide EC412 reproduces the original specifications. Models from Westfield, Seat, Innocenti, DAF, Austin, Mazda, Skoda and Peugeot are added to that list. In our database it is cross-referenced against 5 original-equipment part numbers, which gives an idea of its real coverage.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

The Exide EC412 is made in the 207 × 175 × 175 mm format 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. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

The Exide EC412: Classic range and conventional lead-acid technology

The EC412 is part of the Exide Classic range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.

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.

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. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Exide EC412 comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover deep discharge through inactivity: in a classic, a trickle charger is the best protection.

Care and maintenance

On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. A classic car often stands for long spells: a trickle charger connected in the garage is the best investment for the battery.

When you get it and how to return it

Orders placed before 6:00 pm with the battery in stock ship the same day.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change this battery step by step?

With a 10 mm spanner, swapping in the Exide EC412 takes 15 to 30 minutes on most cars; if the battery sits in the boot or under a seat, allow up to twice as long. If the car manufacturer lists any extra step in the handbook, follow it. More detail in how to replace the car battery. The right order: engine off and key out; disconnect the negative (−) first, then the positive (+); release the hold-down clamp, lift out the old battery and seat the new one in the same position (positive on the right), keeping the polarity; reconnect the positive (+) first and the negative (−) last.

How many years does this battery last?

As a rough estimate, the Exide EC412 typically lasts 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. What weighs most: temperature (cold makes starts harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), frequent short trips, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power draw while parked and maintenance, not forgetting the type of car and Start-Stop.

What are the measurements of the EC412 model?

Check the room available in your car, because a single millimetre too much can stop the clamp from closing. Its dimensions are 207×175×175 mm, also written 207x175x175 mm; the height already includes the terminals. In European terms it is a LB1 case.

On which side is the positive of the EC412 model?

Polarity of the Exide EC412: positive on the right. Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring. Compare it with the battery you are replacing: if it does not match, cables must be lengthened or the system reconfigured, with a risk of short circuit.

Is the EC412 valid for my vehicle?

Three routes: the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, with the vehicles verified by our technical team; your number plate in the finder, from which DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine; and WhatsApp, with make, model, engine and year, during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). Always cross-check with what the car manufacturer states in the owner's handbook.

What are the equivalents of the EC412 model?

The "Equivalents" section of this page gathers the recommended options with equivalent performance; remember that in Start-Stop cars an EFB should not be replaced with a conventional battery. Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the EC412, 41 Ah (370 A cranking).

Exide EC412 or Exide EA472: which one to choose?

It is the bigger sister of the EC412 in the same Exide range. Compared with the EC412 it has 6 Ah more and 80 A of cold cranking more. It costs 23,25 € less. If the tray takes the size, extra reserve never hurts; for a daily-driven petrol car the extra is not needed.

Exide EC412 or Exide EB442: which one to choose?

Same family as the EC412, one step up in performance. Compared with the EC412 it has 3 Ah more and 50 A of cold cranking more. It costs 27,00 € less. Worth it if your car originally had more capacity, is a diesel or cranks lazily in winter; otherwise the EC412 does the job.
