Key Technical Specifications

• Capacity: 80 Ah – provides ample reserve for repeated start‑stop operations.
• Voltage: 12 V – standard automotive voltage compatible with a wide range of vehicles.
• Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): 720 A – ensures strong engine start performance in low temperatures.
• Dimensions: 315 mm × 175 mm × 190 mm – fits the H7 DIN battery tray commonly found in many passenger cars.
• Type: EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) – engineered for start‑stop applications, offering improved cycle life and resistance to deep discharge.

Design Features & Benefits

The EL800 incorporates Exide’s proprietary Advanced EFB technology, which optimizes the internal chemistry for high‑frequency cycling. This results in:

• Extended Cycle Life: Up to 1,200 start‑stop cycles before performance degradation.
• High Current Delivery: Maintains consistent voltage during rapid engine restarts.
• Low Self‑Discharge Rate: Keeps the battery ready for use even after prolonged inactivity.
• Durability: Robust construction resists vibration and shock typical in automotive environments.

Compatibility & Installation

The EL800 is engineered to fit the H7 DIN battery tray, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of vehicles, including:

• Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes‑Benz, and other German marques.
• Ford, Toyota, Honda, and many European models that employ start‑stop technology.
• Commercial and light commercial vehicles where reliable power is critical.

Installation follows standard battery replacement procedures: disconnect the negative terminal first, remove the old battery, place the EL800 in the tray, secure it, then reconnect the terminals. No special tools are required beyond those used for typical battery changes.

Performance Highlights

• Consistent Power Output: Maintains a steady voltage of 12 V during high‑current demands.
• Rapid Recovery: Quickly recharges after each start‑stop cycle, ensuring readiness for the next engine restart.
• Thermal Stability: Operates efficiently across a wide temperature range, from -20°C to +50°C.

Maintenance & Care Tips

While the EL800 is designed for low‑maintenance operation, following these simple guidelines can extend its lifespan:

• Keep terminals clean and free of corrosion; apply a thin layer of anti‑corrosion spray if necessary.
• Check electrolyte levels (if applicable) and top up with distilled water to the recommended level.
• Avoid overcharging by using a compatible charger or ensuring the vehicle’s charging system is functioning correctly.
