Why this marine battery?

  • Marine designbuilt for boat swell and vibration
  • Dual functionstarts the engine and powers onboard services
  • Sealed and safemaintenance-free even when the boat rolls

The Exide EU72L marine battery offers 12 V, 72 Ah and 640 A of cold cranking current (EN) from the Vintage range with conventional lead-acid technology, designed for motor and sailing boats, both for engine starting and onboard services. Measuring 278 × 175 × 190 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for boats fitted from the factory with a 72 Ah battery of this format.

In short: the Exide EU72L (72 Ah, 640 A, 278 × 175 × 190 mm, positive terminal on the left). Verified equivalent alternatives: Varta E12 and Tudor TB741.

  • Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.
  • Ready for starting outboard and inboard engines.
  • Sealed: no spills or gases in the locker.
  • Resistant to humidity and salt air.

What the Exide EU72L is for

The Exide EU72L 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 16 kg, EN taper post terminals and B13 hold-down.

The Exide EU72L: Vintage range and conventional lead-acid technology

The EU72L is part of the Exide Vintage range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.

Conventional lead-acid is the benchmark against which other technologies are compared: good cranking current, great tolerance to alternator charging and the best price per amp-hour.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

The Exide EU72L is made in the 278 × 175 × 190 mm format and weighs 16 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 B13 hold-down and EN taper post 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 EU72L

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.

How to make it last longer

On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. Protect the terminals with dielectric grease and check the fixing: vibration and swell loosen connections.

Official warranty

The Exide EU72L 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

Order before 6:00 pm 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 14 days to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions

In what position can it be installed on the boat?

It must be mounted upright, firmly secured and in a ventilated compartment, because it gives off gases when charging. Keep the terminals away from salt water.

What are the dimensions of the Exide EU72L battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 278×175×190 mm — also written as 278x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L3 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.

Which side is the positive terminal on this battery?

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.

Exide EU72L or Exide EL700: which one to choose?

A technology step up in the same size: more charge and discharge cycles than the EU72L. Compared with the EU72L it has 2 Ah less and 120 A of cold cranking more. It costs €84.60 more. Pays off in frequent cyclic use; for occasional use the EU72L is enough.

Exide EU72L or Exide EK700: which one to choose?

It is the AGM of the same size: sealed, maintenance-free and with far more discharge cycles than the EU72L. Compared with the EU72L it has 120 A of cold cranking more. It costs €103.80 more. Recommended for cyclic or stationary use, or when the equipment sits tilted; for occasional use the EU72L does the job.
