Measuring 278 × 175 × 175 mm and the positive terminal on the right, it is the direct replacement for Start-Stop cars fitted from the factory with a 65 Ah battery of this format. - Keeps comfort loads running with the engine off at the lights. - Direct replacement for the original Start-Stop battery. - EFB: the evolution of the conventional battery for basic Start-Stop cars. - Fast recharge on the move thanks to low internal resistance. ### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Exide EL652 In terms of format, the Exide EL652 measures 278 × 175 × 175 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 16.20 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. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change. ### Vehicles compatible with the Exide EL652 This battery appears as compatible in more than 58 vehicles from manufacturers such as Ford, Opel, Vauxhall, Renault, Ferrari and Volkswagen. It is a go-to option when you need a **battery for a Ford**, Opel or other models that use this same format. It also appears as a replacement in vehicles from Fiat and Audi, among other manufacturers. It is checked against 18 original-equipment references from different manufacturers. ### Technology inside the Exide EL652 Exide builds the EL652 to the same standards as the rest of its catalogue; what changes between references is capacity, format and terminal position. An EFB is a reinforced flooded battery: its plates retain the active material better and tolerate the cycling imposed by a simple Start-Stop system, at a lower cost than an AGM. ### 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. ### Official warranty The Exide EL652 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 A charger with an EFB or smart conventional mode is enough; avoid the high-voltage modes intended for AGM. 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 EL652 model EFB? Which cars need it? Yes. The EL652 is an EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery): flooded lead-acid reinforced with plate additives. Withstands more cycles than a conventional but fewer than an AGM. Fitted to cars with basic Start-Stop (no regenerative braking). More affordable than an equivalent AGM, lifespan 4-6 years. ### Is the EL652 model suitable for Start-Stop cars? Yes. As EFB technology it is designed for Start-Stop vehicles. EFB batteries cover basic Start-Stop (no regenerative braking). 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 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 many years does this battery last? Expected lifespan of the Exide EL652 is 4 to 6 years in basic Start-Stop car use. 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 EL652 model? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 278×175×175 mm — also written as 278x175x175 mm and correspond to the European LB3 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 EL652 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 EL652 fits 58 verified vehicle versions in our database. ### 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. ### Is this EFB enough for my Start-Stop car? An EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) is a flooded lead-acid battery reinforced with plate additives (carbon and polyethylene) and thicker grids. It withstands twice the cycles of a conventional battery and handles deep discharges better, but less than an AGM. It is the original fitment on cars with basic Start-Stop (no regenerative braking): Renault Energy TCe, Peugeot/Citroën PureTech, Fiat MultiAir, Hyundai/Kia ISG, Ford EcoBoost. If your car came with EFB from the factory, this is the correct battery — upgrading to AGM is optional (marginal improvement). If it came with AGM, EFB may fall short: better fit AGM. The Exide EL652 is original and meets EN 50342-6. ### Is there anything to do after replacing a Start-Stop battery? 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 EL652 ships factory-charged at 80-90% so you can use it straight after fitting. ## Compatible vehicles This battery fits 58 vehicles.
