HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BATTERY?

Voltage, capacity, dimensions, polarity, terminal type: here are the key checks for choosing a battery compatible with your machine, safely.

01
 
BATTERY TYPES & SAFETY REMINDER

On our site you will find mainly maintenance-free batteries (gel) and conventional lead-acid batteries supplied dry, in line with European safety standards.

ACID SAFETY
Handle the acid with care (gloves, goggles) and follow the correct connection order.
02
 
ESSENTIAL CHECKS
DIMENSIONS
Measure the old battery or the housing (L × W × H). Too big = won't fit.
VOLTAGE & CAPACITY
6 V or 12 V depending on the machine; capacity in Ah (e.g. 12 V – 18 Ah).
 
POLARITY
Check the position of + and −; reversing them prevents connection and can damage the equipment.
TERMINAL TYPE
SAE, Faston tabs, M6/M8 screws, etc. choose a compatible type or plan for adapters.
03
 
ACID VOLUME (CONVENTIONAL ACID BATTERY)

Conventional acid batteries are supplied without electrolyte. The volume of acid to plan for is shown on the product listing. Order it separately if needed.

04
 
CHOOSE STEP BY STEP
1
Note voltage & capacity
From the old battery (V and Ah).
2
Measure & check
Dimensions, polarity and terminal type.
3
Select the equivalent
Equivalent specifications (or slightly higher capacity if the housing and charger allow it).
4
Conventional acid?
Add the matching acid kit.
05
 
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I switch from 6 V to 12 V?
No. Stick to the machine's original voltage.
Can I increase the Ah?
A slight increase is possible if the battery fits and the charger is compatible. An unnecessarily high capacity brings no noticeable gain.
How can I be sure of the polarity?
Look at the + / − markings moulded on the battery and compare them with your wiring.
