• Heavy Duty construction for intensive professional use.
• Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.
• Designed for 24 V installations with two batteries in series.
• Powerful cold cranking for large-displacement diesel engines.

What the Exide EG1206 is for

The Exide EG1206 is designed for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. In 24 V installations with two batteries in series, replace both at the same time to avoid imbalance. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 31.80 kg, EN taper post terminals and B3 hold-down.

The Exide EG1206: Start PRO range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Exide catalogue, the Start PRO series groups the references designed for this use. The EG1206 is the 120 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

In a conventional battery the electrolyte is liquid and the lead plates are immersed in it. It is a mature, economical and easily recycled technology, ideal for starting vehicles in normal use.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

The Exide EG1206 is made in the 510 × 175 × 225 mm format and weighs 31.80 kg. The positive terminal on the right 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 B3 hold-down and EN taper post terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

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.

Usage and maintenance tips

On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. In 24 V installations, check periodically that both batteries show the same voltage; an imbalance means one is failing.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Exide EG1206 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.
