FAQs
What does AGM technology mean?
AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Mat. In AGM batteries, the electrolyte is absorbed into thin fiberglass mats, providing better vibration resistance, higher cranking power, and longer life compared to conventional flooded batteries.
Is this battery suitable for my older car without Start-Stop?
While it can provide superior power, it's best suited for vehicles designed for AGM and Start-Stop systems. Using it in an older vehicle might be an upgrade, but confirm compatibility with your car's electrical system and charging capabilities to avoid potential issues.
How long does an Exide EK960 battery typically last?
With proper use and vehicle compatibility, an AGM battery like the Exide EK960 can last significantly longer than standard batteries, often 5-10 years, depending on driving conditions and maintenance.
Can I use a standard battery charger on this AGM battery?
No, it is recommended to use a charger specifically designed for AGM batteries. Standard chargers may not provide the correct voltage or charging profile, which can damage the AGM battery or reduce its lifespan.
What is the warranty period for the Exide EK960?
Warranty information can vary by region and retailer. Please check the product packaging or consult your point of purchase for specific warranty details.
What do the dimensions 175x353x190mm refer to?
These dimensions represent the Width (175 mm), Depth (353 mm), and Height (190 mm) of the battery, respectively. Ensure these measurements fit your vehicle's battery tray.
Troubleshooting
Battery not holding charge
Ensure terminals are clean and connections are secure. Check for parasitic drain in the vehicle's electrical system. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement.
Vehicle's Start-Stop system not functioning
Verify battery charge level and condition. Ensure the battery is correctly identified by the vehicle's management system. Consult a professional for diagnostics.
Corrosion on terminals
Clean terminals with a wire brush and a mixture of baking soda and water. Apply a terminal protector spray afterward.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This battery is specifically designed for vehicles with advanced Start-Stop systems. While it can be used in some non-Start-Stop vehicles, it's essential to ensure it meets the vehicle manufacturer's original equipment specifications. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a professional to confirm compatibility, especially regarding battery group size (L05) and terminal configuration (positive on the right).
Setup: Installation should ideally be performed by a qualified technician. Incorrect installation or connection can damage the vehicle's electrical system or the battery itself.
Care: The Exide EK960 is a maintenance-free battery. No periodic addition of water is required. Keep the battery terminals clean and free of corrosion. Ensure the battery is securely mounted to prevent vibration damage. If the vehicle is stored for extended periods (over a month), consider using a compatible AGM battery charger to maintain optimal charge levels.
