## Description

**Find the battery for your construction and agricultural machinery** 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.).

## Why extra-thick anti-vibration plates

An excavator or combine works on **extreme terrain** (quarry, ploughed field, slope, forestry track) and vibrates at destructive frequencies for hours. The standard plate in an SLI or even a light SHD breaks internally in months. The **extra-thick anti-vibration plate** in heavy SHD is rated for that profile — it is the only thing that holds performance over a full season.

### Capacities by machine

Machine Capacity CCA Bank
Mini-loader / Bobcat 140-170 Ah 900-1,000 A 12 V
Heavy backhoe 180-220 Ah 1,000-1,150 A 24 V series

Articulated dumper 200-225 Ah 1,000-1,150 A 24 V series
Motor grader 180-225 Ah 1,000-1,150 A 24 V series
Combine / grape harvester 180-220 Ah 1,000-1,150 A 24 V series
Self-propelled sprayer / seeder 180-225 Ah 1,000-1,150 A 24 V series

A **24 V bank with two 12 V batteries in series is mandatory** across almost the whole category. Always replace as a pair, same batch where possible.

### Frequently asked questions

### **How does this differ from a farm tractor battery?**

A standard tractor uses regular reinforced SHD. Heavy construction and combines demand **extra-thick anti-vibration plates** — one more layer of toughness against shock and vibration.

### **Can I fit a heavy-truck battery instead?**

Same format and CCA, but jobsite SHD is anti-vibration certified. For real jobsite use, stick with jobsite SHD; for occasional light use a truck SHD may do.

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

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