Sealed and maintenance-free. ### Why this marine battery? - **Marine design** built for boat swell and vibration - **Dual function** starts the engine and powers onboard services - **Sealed and safe** maintenance-free even when the boat rolls 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 60 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 680 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 242×175×190 mm ⚙️ Technology AGM 🧭 Polarity Positive on the right ⚖️ Weight 17,8 kg 🏷️ Model EXIDE MARINA DUAL EP ## Description ## Marine battery Exide EP500 Marina Dual EP 60Ah 680A 12V 12*V* Voltage 60*Ah* Capacity 680*A* Cold cranking 17.80*kg* Weight The **Exide EP500** with AGM technology is a marine battery with **60 Ah** and **680 A** of cold cranking current (EN) for motor and sailing boats, both for engine starting and onboard services. Its 242 × 175 × 190 mm and the positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 60 Ah battery fitted as standard to many boats. - Resistant to humidity and salt air. - Sealed: no spills or gases in the locker. - Ready for starting outboard and inboard engines. - AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery. ### Will it fit your current battery tray? It has external dimensions of 242 × 175 × 190 mm and weighs 17.80 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 the Exide EP500 is for With 60 Ah, the Exide EP500 covers motor and sailing boats, both for engine starting and onboard services. At the end of the season, charge it fully before winter storage. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 17.80 kg, 1 terminals and B13 hold-down. ### The Exide EP500: Marina Dual EP range and AGM technology The EP500 is part of the Exide **Marina Dual EP** range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family. 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. ### 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 EP500 comes with the **manufacturer's official warranty** against manufacturing defects. Deep discharge from winter lay-up without charging is not covered. ### How to make it last longer Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. At the end of the season, charge the battery fully and, if possible, keep it on a charger over the winter lay-up. ### When you get it and how to return it Order **before [[ks:cutoff]]** with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have **[[ks:return_days]] 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 EP500 model AGM? What does this technology offer? Yes. The EP500 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 boats with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions. ### How do I change this battery step by step? In most boats 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 boats with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How long does the Exide EP500 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Exide EP500 is 5 to 8 years in mild-climate boat 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 dimensions of the Exide EP500 battery? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 242×175×190 mm — also written as 242x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L2 case size — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your boat before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals. ### Will the Exide EP500 battery fit my boat? 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 EP500 fits 1 verified vehicle versions in our database. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide EP500? 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 boats. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level. ## Compatible vehicles This battery fits 1 vehicles.
