Side by side
Same Ah means about the same backup. The real differences are warranty (especially the free-replacement part), weight (more lead usually lasts longer) and the dealer’s service.

What actually differs
- Exide publishes a backup figure for IZTT2200HL; Microtek doesn’t for M2203624TT.
- Microtek M2203624TT is heavier (67 kg against 63.5 kg). For tubular batteries of the same Ah, more weight usually means more lead in the plates, which tends to mean a longer life.
