Measuring 278 × 175 × 190 mm and the positive terminal on the right, it is the direct replacement for Start-Stop cars fitted from the factory with a 72 Ah battery of this format. - AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery. - Fast recharge on the move thanks to low internal resistance. - Keeps comfort loads running with the engine off at the lights. - Direct replacement for the original Start-Stop battery. ### Dimensions, polarity and mounting The Exide EK720 is made in the 278 × 175 × 190 mm format and weighs 20.60 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. It uses a B13 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. ### What the Exide EK720 is for In Start-Stop cars the battery works far harder than in a conventional car; the Exide EK720 is built for that intensive cycling and to recharge quickly on the move. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 20.60 kg, EN taper post terminals and B13 hold-down. ### Technology inside the Exide EK720 Exide builds the EK720 to the same standards as the rest of its catalogue; what changes between references is capacity, format and terminal position. AGM means the acid is held in a glass mat instead of floating free. That is why the battery can be installed in the cabin without gases, survives more cycles and recovers its charge quickly. ### 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. We guarantee that every Exide arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty. ### Manufacturer's warranty The Exide EK720 comes with the **manufacturer's official warranty**. To keep it valid, always fit the same technology as the original battery (AGM or EFB) and register the replacement if your vehicle requires it. ### Care and maintenance If the vehicle only does very short trips, a periodic maintenance charge with an AGM/EFB-compatible charger greatly extends its life. In a Start-Stop car the battery is controlled by the ECU; after replacing it, the new battery may need to be registered so the system adjusts charging. ### When you get it and how to return it Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed **before [[ks:cutoff]]**: 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 **[[ks:return_days]] days** if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the EK720 model AGM? What does this technology offer? Yes. The EK720 from Exide uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for cars with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions. ### Is this battery compatible with Start-Stop systems? Yes. As AGM technology it is designed for Start-Stop vehicles. AGM batteries support advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking thanks to their higher cycle count. EFB is recommended for basic Start-Stop; AGM is recommended when regenerative braking is also present, thanks to its higher cycle capability. It works straight out of the box — on most modern vehicles registering the battery via OBD is recommended so the alternator automatically applies the optimal charging profile. ### How do I fit the EK720 model in my car? 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 EK720 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Exide EK720 is 5 to 8 years in mild-climate car use with 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 EK720 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 EK720 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 EK720 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide EK720? 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. ### What advantages does the Exide EK720 AGM battery offer over an EFB? AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology uses absorbent fibreglass that retains the electrolyte, eliminating leaks and allowing up to 3× more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional battery. It is the recommended option when the car has advanced Start-Stop with regenerative braking (BMW EfficientDynamics, Mercedes Eco, Audi MHEV, Land Rover ECO, Volvo i-Stop). Withstands tilted positions, high vibration and extreme temperatures better than EFB. The Exide EK720 is fully original and meets European EN 50342-6 standards for advanced Start-Stop. ### Will my car recognise the new battery automatically? On most cars it is not strictly necessary — the alternator detects the new battery and adapts the charge automatically. It is recommended to register the battery via OBD so that the alternator applies the optimal charging profile from the first minute and extends the battery life as much as possible (especially on brands with sophisticated BMS: BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Land Rover). Any workshop with an OBD scanner (~10-15 € labour) does it in 5 minutes. DIY apps: VCDS / Carista (VAG), Bimmercode (BMW), iCarsoft. If you do not register, the car will still start correctly — the alternator just takes a few days to adjust the profile. The Exide EK720 ships factory-charged at 80-90% so you can use it straight after fitting. ## Equivalent batteries - [TUDOR TK720](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tk720-12v-72ah-760a) - [TUDOR TL700](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tl700-70ah-720a) - [VARTA A7](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-a7-agm-12v-70ah-760a) - [VARTA N70](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-n70-efb-12v-70ah-760a) - [EXIDE EL700](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-el700-12v-70ah-720a) - [VARTA LFD75](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-lfd75-12v-75ah-650a) ## Reviews - **Average rating**: 4.78 / 5 (37 reviews) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — over 25 years of experience validating automotive batteries. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-09-28*
