Older and classic vehicles with basic electrical demands require a dependable conventional flooded battery that delivers consistent cold-weather starting without unnecessary complexity or cost. The Exide EC440 Classic Car Battery is a 12V 44Ah lead-acid battery engineered specifically for cars with straightforward power requirements, offering a reliable and economical replacement solution for drivers who do not need the advanced technology associated with modern vehicle systems.
Manufactured by Exide Technologies, one of the world's leading battery manufacturers, the EC440 is built using 3DX grid technology, which enhances conductivity, reduces internal resistance, and extends service life under standard cycling conditions. As part of the Exide Classic range (Product Group 2508), it is purpose-built for dependable performance in conventional automotive applications. The updated top label carries a prominent CAUTION notice, clearly indicating that this battery is not suitable for start-stop vehicles and should only be installed in conventional systems.
The EC440 measures 207mm × 175mm – 190mm (L × W × H) and fits BCI/DIN case type L01 with hold-down type B13. It delivers 360A Cold Cranking Amps (EN) at 12V and carries a polarity code of 0 (positive terminal on the left). It weighs 11.2kg. The cross-reference code 012 allows direct comparison with equivalent batteries from other manufacturers, including the Bosch S4002.
