After the swap it may be necessary to register the new battery in the ECU so that energy management works correctly. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 25.90 kg, 1 terminals and B13 hold-down. ### Technology inside the Exide EK950 Within the Exide catalogue, the EK950 is the 96 Ah model designed for this application. 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. ### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Exide EK950 In terms of format, the Exide EK950 measures 353 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 25.90 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 1 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 Exide does differently 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. ### Usage and maintenance tips Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. Do not mix technologies: a conventional battery in a Start-Stop car degrades within months. ### Manufacturer's warranty The Exide EK950 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. ### Shipping, delivery and returns Order **before 6:00 pm** with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 1 to 2 working days, the islands and the rest of the EU in 1 to 5 days. You have **14 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 Exide EK960 an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM? Yes. AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, 96 Ah and 12 V: sealed lead-acid, with the electrolyte held in glass fibre. Compared with a conventional battery it withstands more charge/discharge cycles and handles heat better; it is the required technology for cars with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. ### Is the Exide EK960 battery suitable for Start-Stop? Yes: being AGM, the Exide EK960 is designed for Start-Stop cars. AGM batteries support advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking thanks to their higher cycle count. It needs nothing to work, though on most modern cars registering it via OBD is advisable so the alternator adjusts its charging profile. As a rule: EFB for basic Start-Stop, AGM when there is also regenerative braking (more cycles); in any case, what the car manufacturer specifies. ### How is the Exide EK960 battery fitted in a Start-Stop car? On most cars it is a 15-30 minute job needing only a 10 mm spanner (up to twice as long when the battery is under a seat or in the boot). With Start-Stop there are three more points: the negative terminal usually carries a battery sensor (IBS), so undo the cable at the terminal nut without removing the sensor; register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile; and fit the same technology as the original (AGM or EFB) or higher, because a conventional battery wears out within months. What matters most is the terminal order: removing, negative (−) before positive (+); refitting, positive (+) before negative (−). In between, with the engine off and the key out, release the clamp and fit the new battery the same way round as the original, positive on the right (polarity). Before you start, check the car handbook: the manufacturer's procedure always comes first. Our full step-by-step guide is on the blog. ### What is the service life of the EK960 model? As a guide, you can expect the Exide EK960 to last 5 to 8 years in mild-climate car use with Start-Stop, although the real figure may be higher or lower. What weighs most: temperature (cold makes starts harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), frequent short trips, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power draw while parked and maintenance, not forgetting the type of car and Start-Stop. ### What are the dimensions of the Exide EK960 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 EK960 battery have? On the Exide EK960, the polarity is 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. To check, stand the battery in front of you with the terminals nearest you: the positive (+) is the one with the red ring. ### Does this battery fit my car? Three routes: the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, with the vehicles verified by our technical team; your number plate in the finder, from which DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine; and WhatsApp, with make, model, engine and year, 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 batteries are equivalent to the Exide EK960? Not just any technology will do: an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop cars. The "Equivalents" section further down lists the recommended alternatives. To replace the Exide EK960 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size (L5 case), polarity, Ah and CCA. ### Exide EK950 or Exide EK960: which one to choose? Same range and the same performance as the EK950. Compared with the EK950 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs 41,90 € less. Either one works; decide by price. ### Exide EK950 or Varta A5: which one to choose? It is the verified Varta equivalent for the EK950 tray. Compared with the EK950 it has 1 Ah less. It costs 7,99 € more. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same. ### What advantages does the Exide EK960 AGM battery offer over an EFB? Compared with an EFB it resists tilted positions, heavy vibration and extreme temperatures better, and it is the recommended option where there is regenerative braking (BMW EfficientDynamics, Mercedes Eco, Audi MHEV, Land Rover ECO, Volvo i-Stop). In an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery the electrolyte is held in a glass-fibre mat: no spills, and many more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional battery. This EK960 delivers 850 A cold cranking (EN). ### Do I need to register the Exide EK960 on the car after installation? The alternator detects the new battery and adapts the charge automatically, so on most cars it is not compulsory. Even so, it is advisable to register it via OBD so charging is optimum from the first minute and the battery lasts longer, particularly on BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo or Land Rover, with more sophisticated BMS. Without registration the car starts normally; the alternator simply takes a few days to adjust the profile. Any workshop with an OBD scanner does it in a few minutes; DIY, with VCDS or Carista (VAG group), Bimmercode (BMW) or iCarsoft. ## Equivalent batteries - [VARTA G14](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-g14-agm-12v-95ah-850a) - [VARTA A5](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-a5-agm-12v-95ah-850a) - [EXIDE EK960](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ek960-12v-96ah-850a) - [TUDOR TK960](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tk960-12v-96ah-850a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — automotive battery specialists since 2012. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-11-14*
