Marine and leisure electrical systems demand a battery that can endure repeated deep discharge cycles whilst retaining sufficient reserve capacity for engine starting. The Exide EP500 is a 12V 60Ah Dual AGM battery engineered specifically for boats operating a single battery bank, where one unit must serve both the starter motor and onboard consumers simultaneously.
Manufactured by Exide Technologies under the Exide Dual AGM range, the EP500 uses absorbed glass mat construction to immobilise the electrolyte within a tightly wound separator. This design eliminates free acid, permits installation in confined or angled spaces, and delivers 680A cold cranking amps (EN) alongside a 500Wh energy reserve. The technology is also compatible with start-stop systems, though fitment to such applications should be confirmed against the product label.
The EP500 occupies a 242 × 175 × 190mm footprint, weighs 17.9kg, and is housed in a Group L02 case with B13 hold-down provision. Polarity is standard (code 0). No direct cross-reference is listed; prospective buyers should verify compatibility against their vessel's battery specification. The EP500 carries an NCC Class C rating, indicating suitability for leisure marine use.
The Exide Dual AGM range extends across multiple capacities. Related variants include the EP450 and EK620, among others, providing options where a different amp-hour rating is required.
This battery is covered by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Standard delivery: 1–3 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
The Exide Dual battery range is designed to supply power for boats with one battery bank for all consumers.
