The car batteries are critical to the performance and safety of any electrical system. In both Europe and Asia, there are schematics, fasteners and standard terminals that ensure battery compatibility and efficiency, but it is important to know the differences. In this article, we explain the keys to understanding these components and how they affect your vehicle or equipment. 

Battery Terminals

1. European Terminals (DIN Standard)
   European batteries follow the DIN standard (Deutsche Industrie Norm) which establishes the size and layout of the terminals. The terminals are usually European-type with the reverse polarity (positive on the left and negative on the right).

2. Asian Terminals (JIS Standard)
   In Asia, the batteries are manufactured under the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) where the terminals are usually shaped as follows page and are oriented differently from those of European batteries.

Fasteners de Batteries

The fasteners are essential to keep the battery fixed and safe in its compartment, avoiding movements that could generate short circuits or failures in the electrical system.

• European Batteries Generally, they use fastening with metal or plastic straps that fit over the battery box, providing a secure installation.
• Asian Batteries On some models, the fastening is simpler, using plastic supports o pressure clip that allow for fast and efficient placement.

Installation Drawings and Dimensions

1. European Batteries They usually have a rectangular installation diagram with dimensions larger and adapted to larger vehicles, such as the trucks y luxury cars .
2. Asian batteries Asian batteries, on the other hand, tend to be more compact and have dimensions smaller adapting to more modern and sporty vehicles.
