Designed for vans and light commercial vehicles on delivery duty, the **Exide ED851T** from the **Endurance+Pro GEL** range adds **85 Ah** and **350 A** of cold cranking current (EN) to start under load and stop dozens of times a day. Its 349 × 175 × 235 mm and the positive terminal on the left make it the exact replacement for the 85 Ah battery fitted as standard to many vans.
- Reliable starting with a loaded vehicle in the cold.
- Longer service life than a passenger-car battery of the same size.
- Powers auxiliary equipment with the engine off.
- GEL: excellent resistance to deep discharge and long cycle life.

### What the Exide ED851T is for

With 85 Ah, the Exide ED851T is the direct replacement for vans and light commercial vehicles on delivery duty that use this format. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 29.50 kg, EN taper post terminals and B0 hold-down.

### Dimensions, polarity and mounting

The Exide ED851T is made in the 349 × 175 × 235 mm format and weighs 29.50 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 a B0 hold-down and EN taper post 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.

### Exide: the maker behind the ED851T

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.

### The Exide ED851T: Endurance+Pro GEL range and GEL technology

The **Endurance+Pro GEL** is the Exide range the ED851T 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.
GEL technology fixes the acid in a solid gel. That removes maintenance and leaks and gives very long cycle life, in exchange for slightly slower recharging and lower peak current than an AGM.

### Care and maintenance

Keep the terminals clean and the battery firmly secured: vibration under load is the main enemy in delivery vehicles. GEL batteries need lower charging voltages: always use a charger with a GEL mode so as not to damage the electrolyte.

### Warranty and coverage

The Exide ED851T comes with the **manufacturer's official warranty** against manufacturing defects. If it fails through a defect within the period, we replace it free of charge.

### Shipping, delivery and returns

Order **before [[ks:cutoff]]** 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 **[[ks:return_days]] days** to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the ED851T model a gel battery? Where is it used?

Yes, this model is a GEL battery: sealed lead-acid where the electrolyte is in gel form. It tolerates deep discharges very well and is ideal for cyclic use (solar, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs, motorcycles). Requires a GEL-specific smart charger — max charge voltage ~14.1 V (vs 14.4-14.7 V for AGM). Lifespan 6-10 years.

### How is the Exide ED851T battery installed in the vehicle?

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.

### What is the service life of the ED851T model?

Expected lifespan of the Exide ED851T is 6 to 10 years in cyclic use (marine, caravan, solar) with controlled discharges. 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 ED851T model?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 349×175×235 mm — also written as 349x175x235 mm — 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.

### Is the ED851T valid for my vehicle?

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 ED851T typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.

### Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?

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.
