Q 1. What vehicle types is the Exide EB357 designed for?

A. The EB357 is designed for conventional petrol and diesel passenger cars with standard (non-start-stop) charging systems. It is not suitable for vehicles equipped with start-stop technology, regenerative braking, or advanced power management systems.

Q 2. What are the key specifications of the EB357?

A. The EB357 is a 12V battery with a 35Ah capacity (C20 rating) and a cold cranking amp (CCA) rating of 240A measured to the EN standard. It weighs 8.9kg and measures 187mm (L) × 127mm (W) × 220mm (H including terminal).

Q 3. Which cross-reference code does the EB357 match?

A. The EB357 cross-references to battery code 055. If your vehicle handbook, existing battery label, or fitment guide lists a 055 battery, the EB357 is a compatible direct replacement, subject to confirming physical dimensions and terminal layout.

Q 4. What is the terminal polarity of the EB357?

A. The EB357 has Polarity 1, meaning the positive terminal is positioned on the right-hand side when the battery is viewed from the front with the terminals facing towards you. Always confirm polarity against your vehicle's battery tray orientation before fitting.

Q 5. What case size and hold-down type does the EB357 use?

A. The EB357 uses a B19 battery case and a B00 hold-down configuration. Verify that your vehicle's battery tray and clamp arrangement are compatible with these specifications before ordering.

Q 6. What is Exide's 3DX grid technology and how does it benefit the EB357?

A. 3DX grid technology refers to Exide's three-dimensional plate grid construction, which increases the surface area in contact with active material, lowers internal resistance, and improves charge acceptance. The result is more consistent electrical performance and a longer service life compared with conventional flat-grid battery designs.

Q 7. Is the EB357 suitable for vehicles with start-stop systems?

A. No. The EB357 is a standard flooded lead-acid battery and is not suitable for start-stop vehicles. Start-stop applications require AGM or EFB technology to withstand the frequent deep-cycle demands of that system. Please refer to an appropriate AGM or EFB product for such vehicles.

Q 8. What warranty does the Exide EB357 carry?

A. The EB357 is covered by a 4-year manufacturer warranty from Exide Technologies. This covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. Retain your proof of purchase for any warranty claim.

Q 9. Are there other Exide Excell variants available if the EB357 does not fit my vehicle?

A. Yes. PartsForMachines stocks a range of Exide Excell variants including EB356, EB356A, EB440, and the EA-series batteries (EA406, EA456, EA472, EA530, EA612, EA640, EA654) which cover a wider range of capacities and case sizes. Use the vehicle registration lookup or battery dimensions to identify the correct fitment.

Q 10. What are the delivery and returns terms for the EB357?

A. Standard delivery is 1–3 working days to UK mainland addresses. A 30-day returns policy applies. Please ensure the battery is unused and in its original packaging if returning. Contact the PartsForMachines customer service team for return authorisation.
