The Exide EK1050 battery is constructed using innovative AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, which is used in vehicles equipped with a start-stop system. Because of this, the EK1050 battery is able to offer exceptional resistance to cyclic charging and discharging processes, which is crucial in such vehicles. Its capacity is 105 Ah, and the maximum starting current is 950 amperes. The positive pole (+) is located on the right side of the battery, looking from the terminal side. This is the most common layout in the United Kingdom. The mounting zone of this battery is B13. This is the most common mounting method in European cars. The lower mounting bracket is located at the bottom of the battery on every side.
