Auxiliary battery systems in modern vehicles face demanding requirements: they must support secondary electrical loads independently of the main starter battery, maintain reliable charge cycles, and operate safely in confined, often sealed environments. The Exide EK013 is a 12V 1.2Ah AGM auxiliary battery engineered specifically for this role, providing a compact, leak-proof power source for vehicles where a supplementary battery is specified as original equipment.
Manufactured by Exide Technologies, a globally recognised battery manufacturer with decades of engineering heritage, the EK013 uses Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) construction. In an AGM cell, the electrolyte is suspended within a glass fibre mat separator, eliminating free liquid and enabling valve-regulated (VRLA) operation. This construction delivers high cycle life, extended shelf life, and the leak-proof security essential for installation in passenger compartments or beneath seating. The battery is noted as compatible with start-stop technology – verify compatibility against the vehicle manufacturer's specification and product label before fitment." The EK013 measures 97mm (L) × 43mm (W) × 58mm (H) and weighs 0.5kg. It is supplied in a C20 case format with Polarity 4 configuration and Hold-down type B00. Rated at 18 CCA (EN). No direct cross-reference codes are listed; verify fitment against OEM specification. Cold Cranking Amps (EN): 18A. Capacity: 1.2Ah (C20). "This battery is available in a range of capacities within the Exide AGM auxiliary series. Variants include the EK091, EK111, EK131, EK143, and EK151, covering a spectrum of auxiliary power requirements across different vehicle platforms." The EK013 is supplied with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. "Standard delivery: 1–3 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
