The Exide AGM series is a range of maintenance-free batteries that utilize Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology. This is one of the most advanced battery solutions available on the market, primarily designed for Start-Stop vehicles and cars with a high number of electrical consumers. AGM batteries are significantly more resistant to charge and discharge cycles, making them perfect for city cars where the engine frequently stops and starts. Another key advantage is their sealed design, which eliminates the risk of electrolyte leakage and provides increased resistance to vibrations and inclinations.
The Exide AGM EK1060 is a high-performance battery with a 106 Ah capacity and a 950 A cranking power, making it ideal for premium vehicles, SUVs, commercial vans, and cars with intensive energy demands. Due to its large capacity and high cranking power, this model is a perfect choice for modern vehicles with advanced electrical systems and mild hybrid technology.
Its dimensions of 393x175x190 mm classify it as a standard European L6 size, commonly used in larger passenger cars and commercial vehicles. This is one of the most frequently selected sizes in the premium segment, found in BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and Volvo vehicles that require AGM batteries to ensure optimal Start-Stop system functionality and advanced onboard electronics.
The battery features a terminal layout 0, meaning that the positive terminal is on the right side, which is the standard configuration in most European vehicles. Additionally, the B13 mounting system is one of the most commonly used setups, making Exide EK1060 compatible with a wide range of vehicles and allowing for easy installation without modification.
In terms of technical specifications, the Exide AGM EK1060 is comparable to other premium-class batteries such as Bosch S5A 15, Varta Silver Dynamic AGM H15, and Lucas Fusion AGM LF020, which offer identical 105 Ah capacity and 950 A cranking power. The Exide EK1050 model is a nearly identical alternative, differing only slightly in dimensions (392x175x190 mm).
In summary, the Exide AGM EK1060 is a high-performance premium battery, designed for modern vehicles requiring high power and resistance to frequent charging and discharging cycles. Thanks to AGM technology, it provides better efficiency, longer lifespan, and resistance to extreme conditions, making it an excellent choice for the most demanding users.
