Withstands constant chassis vibration, supports long cold-engine cranks and keeps auxiliary services running (tachograph, heater, refrigeration, GPS) during driver's mandatory rest stops. ### Why this truck battery? - **True Heavy Duty** built for intensive professional use - **Long cold-diesel cranks** reliable even in extreme cold - **Powers services at idle** tachograph, heater and lights with engine off ⚡ Capacity 172 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 1390 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 513×223×223 mm ⚙️ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left ⚖️ Weight 48,8 kg ## Description ## Truck battery Exide EF1723 172Ah 1,390A 12V 12*V* Voltage 172*Ah* Capacity 1,390*A* Cold cranking 48.80*kg* Weight 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. - 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 [[ks:cutoff]]** with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic and Canary Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have **[[ks:return_days]] 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. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I fit the EF1723 model in my truck? In most trucks it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on this page. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On trucks with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How long does the Exide EF1723 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Exide EF1723 is 4 to 6 years in regular truck use without Start-Stop. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured. ### What are the measurements of the EF1723 model? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 513×223×223 mm — also written as 513x223x223 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your truck before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals. ### Is the EF1723 valid for my vehicle? Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The EF1723 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide EF1723? Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop trucks. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level. ## Equivalent batteries - [VARTA M18](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-m18-12v-180ah-1000a) - [VARTA M12](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-m12-12v-180ah-1400a) - [VARTA B90](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-b90-efb-12v-190ah-1050a) - [TUDOR TX1803](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tx1803-180ah-1000a) - [TUDOR TJ1723](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tj1723-12v-172ah-1390a) - [TUDOR TF1853](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tf1853-185ah-1150a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — over 25 years of experience validating automotive batteries. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-09-28*
