Classic and vintage car owners face a specific challenge: their vehicles draw consistent, moderate electrical loads from standard ignition, lighting and ancillary systems, with no regenerative charging or advanced energy management. The Exide EC904 Classic Car Battery is engineered to meet precisely these conventional demands, delivering 12V power with 90Ah capacity and 680A cold cranking amps (EN) in a robust D31 case format.
Manufactured by Exide Technologies, a global leader in stored electrical energy solutions, the EC904 is built using Exide's 3DX grid technology. This advanced grid construction enhances conductivity, improves active material adhesion and extends cycle life, providing a dependable power reserve suited to vehicles with basic but consistent electrical requirements. The updated top label carries a clear 'CAUTION' notice, explicitly warning against installation in start-stop vehicles – an important safeguard given the incompatibility of standard flooded batteries with regenerative charging systems.
The EC904 measures 306mm × 173mm – 222mm (L × W × H) and weighs 19.9kg. It is housed in a D31 case with a Korean B1 hold-down configuration and Polarity 0 (positive terminal on the left). It carries the cross-reference code 249H, assisting fitment verification against existing battery references. This battery is not suitable for start-stop vehicles.
The EC904 is part of the EXIDE Classic Battery range (Product Group 2508). Related variants within the Classic range include EC700, EC900, EC905, EJ1000, EN800 and EU72L, offering capacity options to suit a range of conventional vehicle applications.
The EC904 is covered by a 3-year manufacturer's warranty, providing assurance of build quality and long-term reliability under normal operating conditions.
