Modern vehicles equipped with Start-Stop technology place exceptional demands on the battery, requiring rapid recharge cycles, deep discharge tolerance, and consistent power delivery that conventional lead-acid units struggle to sustain. The Exide EL605 EFB battery is engineered specifically to address these challenges, delivering dependable performance across both Start-Stop and conventional vehicle applications with high cycling requirements.
Manufactured by Exide Technologies under the Exide Micro-Hybrid EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) programme, this battery employs advanced plate technology that significantly improves charge acceptance and energy recovery compared to standard flooded batteries. The EFB construction enhances dynamic charge acceptance, enabling faster recuperation of energy during deceleration and supporting the frequent engine restart cycles inherent in urban driving conditions.
The EL605 operates at 12V with a rated capacity of 60Ah (C20) and a Cold Cranking Amps rating of 520A (EN). Physical dimensions are 230mm × 173mm – 222mm (L × W × H), with a case classification of D23 and hold-down type B00. Polarity is Type 1 (positive terminal right). The cross-reference designation for this unit is 005REFB.
This battery is available in related variants within the same Exide EFB range: EL550, EL600, EL604, and EL652, offering alternative capacity and fitment options for different vehicle specifications.
The Exide EL605 is supplied with a 3-year manufacturer warranty, providing assurance of build quality and longevity for the intended application.
