Truck battery Exide EF1853 Power PRO 185Ah 1,150A 12V
With 185 Ah and 1,150 A of cold cranking current (EN), the Exide EF1853 from the Power PRO range is built for professional use in trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. It measures 513 × 223 × 223 mm and the positive terminal on the left, the format sought by anyone replacing a 185 Ah battery in trucks.
- Designed for 24 V installations with two batteries in series.
- Powerful cold cranking for large-displacement diesel engines.
- Heavy Duty construction for intensive professional use.
- Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.
What the Exide EF1853 is for
With 185 Ah, the Exide EF1853 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 43.90 kg, 1 terminals and B0 hold-down.
Dimensions, polarity and mounting
The Exide EF1853 is made in the 513 × 223 × 223 mm format and weighs 43.90 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 B0 hold-down and 1 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.
What Exide does differently
Exide is one of the world's largest battery manufacturers and an original-equipment supplier to many car makers. Its European plants produce starter, industrial and leisure batteries under original-equipment quality controls. We guarantee that every Exide arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.
The Exide EF1853: Power PRO range and conventional lead-acid technology
The Power PRO is the Exide range the EF1853 belongs to: it shares the same construction and quality criteria with the rest of the series, and varies in capacity and format to suit each vehicle.
The conventional lead-acid battery remains the most widespread technology thanks to its balance of capacity, cranking current and price. Well maintained and kept charged, it offers years of reliable service in vehicles without Start-Stop.
How to make it last longer
During rest stops with active loads, avoid repeated deep discharges: they shorten the life of any starter battery. In 24 V installations, check periodically that both batteries show the same voltage; an imbalance means one is failing.
Official warranty
The Exide EF1853 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.
Delivery times and returns
Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed before 6:00 pm: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for 14 days if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my lorry have two batteries?
Most lorries, buses and tractors run on 24 V with two 12 V batteries connected in series. Always replace both at the same time and with the same model: if one is new and the other old, they become unbalanced and both last less.
How long does the Exide EF1853 battery last?
Estimated lifespan of the Exide EF1853: 4 to 6 years in normal lorry use. Treat it as an approximate guide, as every case is different. It can vary considerably with usage (short or long journeys), temperature, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, plus the truck itself and Start-Stop. Cold demands more at every start and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte.
What size is this battery?
Before buying, measure the space in your truck: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing. The Exide EF1853 takes up 513×223×223 mm (length, width and height, terminals included).
On which side is the positive of the EF1853 model?
The EF1853 has the positive on the left: that is its polarity. Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on. Compare it with the battery you are replacing: if it does not match, cables must be lengthened or the system reconfigured, with a risk of short circuit.
Will the Exide EF1853 battery fit my truck?
Not sure? Try your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine) or the "Compatible vehicles" tab, checked by our technical team; if your truck is not there, send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp and we will reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). Our database holds 141 verified vehicle versions for the Exide EF1853. The truck manufacturer's specifications always take priority over our tables.
What are the equivalents of the EF1853 model?
Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the EF1853, 185 Ah (1150 A cranking). See the "Equivalents" section of this page for the recommended options at the same performance level. Mind the technology: in Start-Stop trucks an EFB is not swapped for a conventional battery.
Exide EF1853 or Exide EE1853: which one to choose?

Essential with Start-Stop or heavy draw at standstill; in a conventional-use truck the EF1853 does the job and EFB only adds service life.
Exide EF1853 or Tudor TF1853: which one to choose?
It is the verified Tudor equivalent for the EF1853 tray. Compared with the EF1853 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs 49,20 € less. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same.
