Exide’s conventional battery range for passenger vehicles and 4x4s is divided into the Exide Extreme and Exide Endurance lines, both of which are primarily modern Sealed Maintenance-Free (SMF) lead-acid batteries utilizing advanced calcium technology.
Quality and Technology
Exide emphasizes high quality and durability in its conventional range, designed specifically for the Australian and New Zealand markets.
Pro Frame Technology: The batteries are built with “Pro Frame Grids,” a dense and compact structure made from hardened alloys, which optimizes power output and enhances durability. This design helps them withstand heat and vibration common in tough Australian conditions.
Sealed Maintenance-Free (SMF) & Calcium Technology: The use of lead-calcium composition across most of the range means users do not need to check or top up electrolyte levels, offering a “fit and forget” solution.
High Performance: The batteries are designed for high cranking power (CCA) and good reserve capacity, ensuring reliable starts and sustained power for vehicle electronics.
Warranty
Warranty periods vary based on the product tier and intended use (private vs. commercial).
Exide Extreme: This is the premium line and typically carries an extended warranty period for private use, often 42 months. Commercial use typically has a 12-month warranty.
Exide Endurance: This range offers a balance of performance and value, usually with a 36-month private use warranty. Commercial use also carries a 12-month warranty.
Common Part Numbers
Part numbers are often application-specific, but some common examples include:
X40CMF X40DMF: A smaller passenger vehicle battery (NS40 size) with 400 CCA.
X56CMF X56DMF X55D23CMF X55D23DMF : Common mid-size batteries for passenger cars, offering around 630 CCA.
X60CMF X60CPMF: Another popular passenger vehicle size within the Endurance range.
XN70ZZLMF N70ZZLMF XN50ZZMF N50ZZMF: Larger, heavy-duty batteries for SUVs and 4WDs, offering around 750 CCA.
DIN range DIN44MF DIN55MF DIN66HMF DIN77MF DIN77HMF DIN88HMF): European size batteries, available in both Endurance and Extreme lines, designed for European vehicles with specific fitment requirements.
