Marine battery Exide ES1600 Marina GEL 140Ah 900A 12V
The Exide ES1600 with GEL technology is a marine battery with 140 Ah and 900 A of cold cranking current (EN) for motor and sailing boats, both for engine starting and onboard services. Measuring 513 × 223 × 223 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for boats fitted from the factory with a 140 Ah battery of this format.
- Sealed: no spills or gases in the locker.
- Resistant to humidity and salt air.
- GEL: excellent resistance to deep discharge and long cycle life.
- Ready for starting outboard and inboard engines.
What the Exide ES1600 is for
On board, the Exide ES1600 provides 140 Ah with a case reinforced against vibration and swell. Keep the terminals clean and protected from salt humidity. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 47 kg, 1 terminals and B0 hold-down.
Size, terminals and hold-down of the Exide ES1600
In terms of format, the Exide ES1600 measures 513 × 223 × 223 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 47 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 B0 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.
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. All the Exide batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
The Exide ES1600: Marina GEL range and GEL technology
The ES1600 is part of the Exide Marina GEL range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.
GEL technology fixes the acid in a solid gel. That removes maintenance and leaks and gives very long cycle life, in exchange for slightly slower recharging and lower peak current than an AGM.
How to make it last longer
GEL batteries need lower charging voltages: always use a charger with a GEL mode so as not to damage the electrolyte. Protect the terminals with dielectric grease and check the fixing: vibration and swell loosen connections.
Manufacturer's warranty
The Exide ES1600 comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. Deep discharge from winter lay-up without charging is not covered.
Shipping, delivery and returns
Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed before 6:00 pm: 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 14 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 Exide ES1600 a GEL battery? What is GEL used for?
Yes, this model is a GEL battery: sealed lead-acid where the electrolyte is in gel form. It tolerates deep discharges very well and is ideal for cyclic use (solar, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs, motorcycles). Requires a GEL-specific smart charger — max charge voltage ~14.1 V (vs 14.4-14.7 V for AGM). Lifespan 6-10 years.
How is the Exide ES1600 battery installed in the vehicle?
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 our blog. 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 — with positive on the left 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 ES1600 battery last?
Expected lifespan of the Exide ES1600 is 6 to 10 years in cyclic use (marine, caravan, solar) with controlled discharges. 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 size is this battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 513×223×223 mm — also written as 513x223x223 mm — 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.
What polarity does the Exide ES1600 battery have?
Polarity: positive on the left. To identify it, place the battery in front of you with the terminals facing you and check which side the positive (+, marked with a red ring) is on. Before buying, verify the polarity matches your current battery: switching polarity forces longer cables or system reconfiguration, with short-circuit risk.
Is the ES1600 valid for my vehicle?
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 ES1600 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.
Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide ES1600?
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.
