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 140 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 900 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 513×223×223 mm ⚙️ Technology GEL 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left ⚖️ Weight 47 kg 🏷️ Model EXIDE MARINA GEL ## Description ## Marine battery Exide ES1600 Marina GEL 140Ah 900A 12V 12*V* Voltage 140*Ah* Capacity 900*A* Cold cranking 47*kg* Weight 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. ### Is this a starting or a service (leisure) battery? Service: it is designed to power electronics, lights, the fridge or the windlass for hours, withstanding deep discharges. 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 GEL, 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 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. ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — automotive battery specialists since 2012. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-10-30*
