Important before purchaseBefore ordering, verify the vehicle's VIN or original equipment battery reference, required capacity, cold cranking current, dimensions, polarity and mounting configuration. Exide EL605 features a D23 case (230 × 173 × 222 mm), ETN 1 polarity, left-side positive terminal (+ -), EN terminals and B0 hold-down. Do not confuse it with EL604, which has the opposite polarity. If the vehicle was originally equipped with an AGM battery, EFB should not be used as a direct replacement without manufacturer approval. Some vehicles require battery registration or electronic system adaptation after replacement.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Which vehicles can use Exide EL605?It is designed for vehicles requiring a 60Ah, 520A (EN) EFB battery with a D23 case, ETN 1 polarity and B0 hold-down. Exact compatibility should be confirmed using the vehicle VIN or OE battery reference.
