Exide EM900 12V 42Ah 700A is a starting battery for boats and motorhomes, with a case reinforced against the vibration of mooring and cruising. All its energy is designed to crank the engine reliably, not to run long loads: for that, fit a separate service bank.
Why this marine starting battery?
- Marine designbuilt for boat swell and vibration
- Starting in demanding conditionsmaximum cranking power
- Sealed and safemaintenance-free even when the boat rolls
Where it fits: the Exide EM900 is one of our boat batteries, belongs to our Exide batteries and by capacity it sits among our 42Ah batteries.
The Exide EM900 in practice
EM900 vs Exide EP450
The Exide EM900 offers 42 Ah and 700 A cold cranking in a 230 × 173 × 206 mm case. The Exide EP450, same brand and technology, goes up to 50 Ah and 750 A with 30 mm more length and costs €312.52 less. The difference shows on diesels and in hard winters; for a daily-driven petrol car the extra is not needed.

Marine battery Exide EM900 Marina Start AGM 42Ah 700A 12V
The Exide EM900 with AGM technology is a marine battery with 42 Ah and 700 A of cold cranking current (EN) for motor and sailing boats, both for engine starting and onboard services. Measuring 230 × 173 × 206 mm, it is the direct replacement for boats fitted from the factory with a 42 Ah battery of this format.
- AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery.
- Ready for starting outboard and inboard engines.
- Sealed: no spills or gases in the locker.
- Resistant to humidity and salt air.
What the Exide EM900 is for
The Exide EM900 is designed for motor and sailing boats, both for engine starting and onboard services. If it is your starter battery, run the services from a separate battery; if it is a service battery, avoid routinely discharging it beyond 50%. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 15.80 kg, SAE M 3/8"- 5/16"&stud terminals and B7 hold-down.
The Exide EM900: Marina Start AGM range and AGM technology
The EM900 is part of the Exide Marina Start AGM range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.
In an AGM battery the electrolyte is absorbed in glass-fibre separators: there is no free liquid, it cannot spill and it can be mounted at an angle. That construction lowers internal resistance, speeds up recharging and multiplies cycle life compared with a conventional battery.
Dimensions, polarity and mounting
The Exide EM900 is made in the 230 × 173 × 206 mm format and weighs 15.80 kg. It uses a B7 hold-down and SAE M 3/8"- 5/16"&stud terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.
Exide: the maker behind the EM900
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. We guarantee that every Exide arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.
Care and maintenance
As a service battery, avoid routine discharges below 50% to extend its cycle life. At the end of the season, charge the battery fully and, if possible, keep it on a charger over the winter lay-up.
Official warranty
The Exide EM900 comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. Deep discharge from winter lay-up without charging is not covered.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Exide EM900 an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?
Yes, it is AGM. In an AGM battery such as the EM900, the electrolyte is not free but absorbed in a glass-fibre mat inside a sealed lead-acid battery. Its advantages: more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional battery and better heat tolerance.
Is this a starting or a service (leisure) battery?
Starting: it delivers a high current for a few seconds to crank the engine. On boats with two circuits the ideal is one starting battery and one service battery.
In what position can it be installed on the boat?
Being AGM, it is sealed and does not spill: it can be mounted tilted (never upside down) and copes well with vibration and wave impacts. Secure it firmly and keep the terminals away from water.
What are the dimensions of the Exide EM900 battery?
The Exide EM900 takes up 230×173×206 mm (length, width and height, terminals included), with a B7 hold-down. Before buying, measure the space in your boat: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing.
