Design & Construction Highlights

The EA722 incorporates Exide’s Carbon Boost electrolyte formulation. This advanced chemistry enhances the battery’s ability to deliver high current during cold starts while maintaining a stable internal resistance. The wet‑cell construction ensures long service life under normal operating conditions, and the robust casing protects against vibration and impact – essential for vehicles that experience rough roadways or heavy-duty use.

Performance Advantages

• Exceptional Cold Start Capability: The 720 A CCA rating guarantees reliable ignition even in sub‑freezing temperatures, reducing the risk of a stalled engine during winter months.
• High Energy Density: With 72 Ah capacity, the battery supplies ample power for accessories such as infotainment systems, climate control, and auxiliary lighting without draining the main charge.
• Low Self‑Discharge Rate: The wet‑cell design maintains a high state of charge over extended periods, making it suitable for vehicles that are not driven daily.
• Durable Terminal Design: The single terminal arrangement (positive on the right) simplifies installation and aligns with standard automotive battery bays.

Ideal Vehicle Compatibility

The EA722’s size, weight, and terminal layout make it a perfect fit for numerous car models. It is commonly used in:

• Compact cars such as the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Fiesta, and Mini Cooper.
• Mid‑size sedans including the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes‑B Class.
• Light commercial vehicles like the Opel Corsa, Peugeot 308, and Renault Clio.
• Luxury models such as the Jaguar X-Type and Porsche Boxster (when paired with a compatible battery case).

Because of its standardized dimensions (278 × 175 × 175 mm) and DIN 57113 classification, mechanics can confidently swap the EA722 into any vehicle that originally shipped with an equivalent Exide starter battery.

Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

1. Safety First: Wear protective gloves and eyewear. Ensure the engine is off and the ignition key removed before handling.
2. Remove Old Battery: Disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive. Carefully lift the old battery out of its tray.
3. Place EA722 in Tray: Align the positive pole to the right side as per the vehicle’s design. Secure with the provided clamps or mounting brackets.
4. Reconnect Terminals: Attach the positive terminal first, followed by the negative. Tighten all connections firmly but avoid over‑tightening to prevent damage.
5. Check for Leaks: Inspect the battery case and terminals for any electrolyte leakage or corrosion. Clean with a mild solution if necessary.
6. Test Start: Once installed, start the engine to confirm smooth operation. The battery should provide immediate cranking power without hesitation.

Environmental & Safety Considerations

The EA722 is a standard wet‑cell lead‑acid battery, which means it contains hazardous materials such as lead and sulfuric acid. Proper disposal or recycling at an authorized facility is required after the battery’s service life ends. Exide encourages responsible handling to protect both human health and the environment.
