The Exide EC700: Classic range and conventional lead-acid technology

The Classic is the Exide range the EC700 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.

Why choose Exide batteries

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.

Warranty and coverage

The Exide EC700 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.

How to make it last longer

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.
