MAXTOP MF DIN70L (GERMAN DIN STANDARDS 12V 70AH AUTO BATTERY)
The MF DIN70 battery (Maintenance-Free, German DIN Standard, 12V, approx. 70Ah) is extremely similar to the DIN75. They usually share the exact same physical dimensions (Group L3: 279mm Length x 175mm Width x 190mm Height). The DIN70 is often the standard specification for mid-sized European cars, while the DIN75 is the “high-performance” upgrade for the same vehicles.
Summary: DIN70 vs. DIN75
Same Size: In 90% of cases, a DIN70 and a DIN75 are the same physical size (L3 Box: 279mm long).
Interchangeable: You can almost always install a DIN75 into a car that calls for a DIN70 (it’s a good upgrade).
Usage:
DIN70: Standard for Petrol engines.
DIN75: Standard for Diesel engines or cold climates.
⚠️ Reminder: If your car has Start-Stop technology, do not use a standard MF DIN70. You must use an AGM70 or EFB70 battery.

What is Maintenance Free (MF) battery?
Maintenance Free batteries come sealed for life from the factory, and do not require maintenance of the electrolyte levels. The most significant benefit of the sealed design is that no service attention is required, other than ensuring the battery is kept clean and fully charged
What is JIS type battery?
JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard)
Mainly Applicable Vehicles: Japanese cars (Toyota, Honda, Nissan), Korean cars (Hyundai, Kia), and most Asian brand vehicles.
Appearance Features (Most obvious difference): Raised Terminals. The positive and negative terminals of JIS batteries protrude clearly above the flat top surface of the battery.
Naming Convention Examples: 55D23L, N70, NX120-7, etc. The letters represent width and height, while the numbers represent length or performance level.
What is DIN type battery?
DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) – European Standard
Mainly Applicable Vehicles: German cars (VW, Mercedes, BMW, Audi), European cars (Peugeot, Volvo), and an increasing number of American and globalized vehicle models.
Appearance Features (Most obvious difference): Recessed Terminals. The positive and negative terminals of DIN batteries are “hidden” in grooves on the top of the battery, sitting flush with the battery lid (designed to adapt to the compact hood space of European cars and prevent terminal short-circuiting). In addition, DIN batteries usually have a hold-down lip at the bottom for chassis clamp mounting.
Naming Convention Examples: DIN70, MF57412, L3, H6, etc.
Internal Structure of the MAXTOP Battery
MAXTOP batteries use high‑performance grids with 4B alloy additives for better conductivity and lower self‑discharge and water loss. Two‑side pasting improves the plates’ corrosion resistance and initial capacity. The imported pocket PE separator prevents short circuits caused by active‑material drop‑off while lowering internal resistance and boosting cranking power. Advanced inter‑cell welding keeps connection resistance low. Acid‑proof material and a burst‑separation patch effectively isolate external sparks. The labyrinth‑style reflux cover lets electrolyte flow back to reduce water loss, and the reinforced case and cover add strength and durability.
MAXTOP BATTERIES HI-PERFORMANCE GRID & OPTIMIZED PLATES
MAXTOP high‑performance grids deliver up to 32% more durability under extreme conditions than other grid designs, and up to 35% better conductivity than other grid technologies. A car battery built with MAXTOP high‑performance grids is stronger, more durable, and works with better conductivity — ensuring reliable battery performance.
Cell Layout, Terminal Type & Hold-Down Info
MAXTOP offers multiple cell layouts (0, 1, 3, 4, 5) to match the positive and negative terminal positions of different vehicle models. Terminals are available in two types — STD standard (φ17.6 and φ16) and SM small (φ12.8 and φ11.1), both 17.0 mm in height — to suit different wiring requirements. Hold-down options from B1 to B5 ensure secure, vibration-resistant installation.
Battery Layout, Terminal Type & Hold-Down
MAXTOP offers a wide range of BCI layouts (8, 10, 11, 17, 18, 19, 24, 26, 27), so terminal positions can be adapted to different vehicle models. Terminal options include TM reinforced terminals, STD standard terminals and SIDE side terminals to suit various wiring needs. Hold-down options from B1 to B5 ensure a secure, vibration-resistant installation.
