The Exide EC900 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.

Classic car battery Exide EC900 Classic 90Ah 720A 12V
With 90 Ah at 12 V and 720 A of cold cranking current (EN), the Exide EC900 from the Classic range covers the starting demand of classic and vintage cars with their original electrical system. Measuring 353 × 175 × 190 mm and the positive terminal on the right, it is the direct replacement for classic cars fitted from the factory with a 90 Ah battery of this format.
In short: the Exide EC900 (90 Ah, 720 A, 353 × 175 × 190 mm, positive terminal on the right). Verified equivalent alternatives: Varta F6 and Tudor TC900.
- Safe starting for carburettor engines and classic ignition.
- Low self-discharge for cars that rarely leave the garage.
- Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.
- Behaves well after long periods without use.
Will it fit your current battery tray?
The Exide EC900 is made in the 353 × 175 × 190 mm format and weighs 20.10 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.
Vehicles compatible with the Exide EC900
This battery appears as compatible in more than 70 vehicles from manufacturers such as Iveco, Renault, Citroën, Puch, Fiat and Chevrolet. For anyone who needs to replace the battery in their Iveco or Renault, this Exide EC900 reproduces the original specifications. The compatibility list also includes models from Alpina, Vauxhall, Opel, Daimler, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Rayton Fissore and Middlebridge. It covers 42 original-equipment references, one of the widest coverages in its format.
The Exide EC900: Classic range and conventional lead-acid technology
Within the Exide catalogue, the Classic series groups the references designed for this use. The EC900 is the 90 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.
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
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. 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 EC900 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. Check the resting voltage and terminals periodically; corrosion in old wiring is the most frequent cause of weak starts.
When you get it and how to return it
Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed before 6:00 pm: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for 14 days if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions
How do I fit the EC900 model in my car?
Tool: a 10 mm spanner. Time: 15-30 minutes on almost every car, and up to double if the battery is not under the bonnet but in the boot or under a seat. Our blog guide covers it in detail; if the owner's handbook describes a different procedure, follow the manufacturer. 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.
What is the service life of the EC900 model?
As a rough estimate, the Exide EC900 typically lasts 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. 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 dimensions of the Exide EC900 battery?
Check the room available in your car, because a single millimetre too much can stop the clamp from closing. Its dimensions are 353×175×190 mm, also written 353x175x190 mm; the height already includes the terminals. In European terms it is a L5 case.
What polarity does the Exide EC900 battery have?
Polarity of the Exide EC900: positive on the right. It must match your current battery: reversed polarity means lengthening cables or reconfiguring the system, with a risk of short circuit. Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring.
Does this battery fit my car?
Our database holds 69 verified vehicle versions for the Exide EC900. 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)). Always cross-check with what the car manufacturer states in the owner's handbook.
Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?
Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the EC900, 90 Ah (720 A cranking). Technology matters too: in Start-Stop cars, an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery. The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page.
Exide EC900 or Exide EA1000: which one to choose?
Same family as the EC900, one step up in performance. Compared with the EC900 it has 10 Ah more and 180 A of cold cranking more. It costs 22,30 € less. Worth it if your car originally had more capacity, is a diesel or cranks lazily in winter; otherwise the EC900 does the job.
Exide EC900 or Exide EB950: which one to choose?
The next step up from the EC900 in the same range and the same case. Compared with the EC900 it has 5 Ah more and 80 A of cold cranking more. It costs 24,70 € less. The one to pick for big engines or heavy equipment; in a simple car the EC900 is enough.
