## Description

**Find the battery for your agricultural and construction vehicles** using the finder right below: select your vehicle step by step and see only 100% compatible batteries.
Other quick paths: by [number plate](/gb/battery-finder-by-plate), by [part-number](/gb/part-number) from the manufacturer or by the **code printed** on your current battery (Varta E11, Tudor TC700, YTX12-BS, etc.).

## How to choose the right ag/construction battery

These machines share three demands: **heavy cranks** after long idle periods (weekend, off-season, storage), **constant vibration** on uneven ground, and **long shifts** with hydraulics, cabin AC and work lights all running. Reinforced SHD lead-acid is the classic answer; on Tier 5 with regenerative braking or active battery management, SHD EFB delivers more cycling without losing CCA.

### Typical capacities by machine

Machine Capacity CCA Technology
Mini-excavator 1-5 t 110-140 Ah 720-900 A SHD
Compact wheel loader 140-180 Ah 900-1,000 A SHD
Backhoe loader 140-180 Ah 900-1,000 A SHD / SHD EFB
Mid farm tractor 140-180 Ah 900-1,000 A SHD
Combine / dumper / bulldozer 180-225 Ah (24 V bank) 1,000-1,150 A SHD

Larger machines (combine, dumper, bulldozer) run a **24 V bank with two 12 V batteries in series** and must always be replaced as a pair so the healthy cell is not dragged down.

### Frequently asked questions

### **Can I fit a car battery in a mini-excavator?**

No. A passenger SLI cannot survive jobsite vibration and the internal plates break within months. You need reinforced SHD.

### **When SHD EFB instead of classic SHD?**

When the OEM requires it (Tier 5, active management) or when there are continuous shift cranks with heavy auxiliaries.

### **How long does shipping take?**

Standard delivery **1 to 5 working days** to your country. We process orders within 24h.
