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. 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. ### Vehicles compatible with the Exide EC700 The Exide EC700 is compatible with more than 181 vehicles: it is fitted as original equipment or as a replacement by brands such as Renault, Citroën, Volkswagen, Plymouth, Peugeot and Auverland. For anyone who needs to replace the **battery in their Renault** or Citroën, this Exide EC700 reproduces the original specifications. The compatibility list also includes models from Nissan, Jaguar, Fiat, Saab, Toyota, Alpina, Aro and Vauxhall. In our database it is cross-referenced against 134 original-equipment part numbers, which gives an idea of its real coverage. ### 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. ### Delivery times and returns Orders placed **before [[ks:cutoff]]** with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic and Canary Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have **[[ks:return_days]] days** to return an unused battery; in mainland Spain and Portugal collection is free. We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I change this battery step by step? 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 (−) 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 — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On cars with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How long does the Exide EC700 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Exide EC700 is 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop. 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 measurements of the EC700 model? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 278×175×190 mm — also written as 278x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L3 case size — 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. ### Will the Exide EC700 battery fit my car? 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 — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The EC700 fits 181 verified vehicle versions in our database. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide EC700? 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 — 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. ## Compatible vehicles This battery fits 181 vehicles.
