Exide EF1723 · Truck battery 172Ah 1390A

Truck battery Exide EF1723 172Ah 1,390A 12V

The Exide EF1723 with conventional lead-acid technology delivers 172 Ah at 12 V and 1,390 A of cold cranking current (EN): what trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery demand. Its 513 × 223 × 223 mm and the positive terminal on the left make it the exact replacement for the 172 Ah battery fitted as standard to many trucks.

In short: the Exide EF1723 (172 Ah, 1390 A, 513 × 223 × 223 mm, positive left). Verified equivalent alternatives: Varta M18 and Varta M12.

• Resistant to constant chassis vibration.
• Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.
• Better tolerance to deep discharge than a conventional starter battery.
• Powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops.

What the Exide EF1723 is for

With 172 Ah, the Exide EF1723 cranks large-displacement diesel engines in the cold and powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 48.80 kg, EN taper post terminals and B00 hold-down.

Technology inside the Exide EF1723

Exide builds the EF1723 to the same standards as the rest of its catalogue; what changes between references is capacity, format and terminal position.

Conventional lead-acid is the benchmark against which other technologies are compared: good cranking current, great tolerance to alternator charging and the best price per amp-hour.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

The Exide EF1723 is made in the 513 × 223 × 223 mm format and weighs 48.80 kg. The positive terminal on the left decides which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes most buying mistakes, so check it before ordering. It uses a B00 hold-down and EN taper post terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

Why choose Exide batteries

With more than a century of history, Exide Technologies manufactures automotive, marine, motorcycle and industrial batteries in Europe. Its presence as original equipment on assembly lines vouches for the quality of every reference. We guarantee that every Exide arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

Care and maintenance

In 24 V installations, check periodically that both batteries show the same voltage; an imbalance means one is failing. During rest stops with active loads, avoid repeated deep discharges: they shorten the life of any starter battery.

Official warranty

The Exide EF1723 comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. An important note for commercial vehicles: most trucks use two batteries connected in series (24 V installation). If you replace only one, the new battery works alongside the old one, which has already lost capacity; that imbalance shortens its life and the manufacturer may treat it as misuse. Always replace both at the same time.

Shipping, delivery and returns

Orders placed before 6:00 pm with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have 14 days to return an unused battery; in mainland Spain and Portugal collection is free. We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships.
