It replaces the original battery without adaptation in Start-Stop cars with a 306 × 173 × 222 mm format: same 95 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the left. - Compatible with regenerative braking and energy management (BMS). - Up to three times the cycles of a conventional battery. - EFB technology: reinforced electrolyte for many more start cycles. - Withstands hundreds of starts a day without degrading. ### What the Exide EL955 is for In Start-Stop cars the battery works far harder than in a conventional car; the Exide EL955 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 21.60 kg, 1 terminals and Korean B1 hold-down. ### Will it fit your current battery tray? In terms of format, the Exide EL955 measures 306 × 173 × 222 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 21.60 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 Korean B1 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. ### Technology inside the Exide EL955 The EL955 is one of the Exide references for this type of use; it shares the same manufacturing and quality-control criteria as the rest of the brand's catalogue. EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) technology reinforces the conventional lead-acid battery with a polyester separator and carbon additives in the plates. It withstands many more start cycles and partial discharges, making it ideal for basic Start-Stop and intensive use. ### 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. ### Manufacturer's warranty The Exide EL955 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. ### How to make it last longer If the vehicle only does very short trips, a periodic maintenance charge with an AGM/EFB-compatible charger greatly extends its life. Do not mix technologies: a conventional battery in a Start-Stop car degrades within months. ### Shipping, delivery and returns Orders placed **before [[ks:cutoff]]** with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic and Canary Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days.

We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the EL955 model EFB? Which cars need it? Yes. The EL955 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 EL955 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 fit the EL955 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. ### What is the service life of the EL955 model? Expected lifespan of the Exide EL955 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 dimensions of the Exide EL955 battery? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 306×173×222 mm — also written as 306x173x222 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. ### Will the Exide EL955 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 EL955 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. ### What exactly is an EFB battery like the Exide EL955? 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 EL955 is original and meets EN 50342-6. ### Do I need to register the Exide EL955 on the car after installation? 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 EL955 ships factory-charged at 80-90% so you can use it straight after fitting. ## Equivalent batteries - [TUDOR TL955](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tl955-12v-95ah-800a) - [VARTA G8](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-g8-12v-95ah-830a) ## Reviews - **Average rating**: 4.83 / 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 · 2026-09-30*
