The Exide EG1206 truck battery is rated at 12 V, 120 Ah and 680 A of cold cranking current (EN) from the Start PRO range, and is prepared for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. It measures 510 × 175 × 225 mm and the positive terminal on the right, the format sought by anyone replacing a 120 Ah battery in trucks.
- 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.
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 and Canary 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.

How to change the battery
Guide to replace a truck battery in 30-60 minutes. Truck batteries weigh 25-50 kg — we recommend working in pairs and using a carrying strap.
Step 1. Prepare the vehicle
Park on a flat surface, switch off the engine and remove the key. Make sure all lights and electrical accessories are off. Wait 1-2 minutes before starting.
Step 2. Locate the battery
Open the bonnet. The battery is usually in the engine bay, but in many modern cars it may be in the boot or under the passenger seat. Check the manual if you cannot find it.
Step 3. Disconnect the negative (−) terminal
Use the 10 mm wrench to loosen the negative cable nut (black, marked −) and remove the cable from the post. Move it aside so it cannot touch any bodywork.
Step 4. Disconnect the positive (+) terminal
Repeat with the positive cable (red, marked +). Important: never let a terminal touch metal of the car while the other is still connected.
Step 5. Remove the old battery (two people)
Loosen the bottom hold-down clamp. Truck batteries weigh 25-50 kg — lift in pairs with gloves and a carrying strap. Forcing the lift alone risks back injury.
Step 6. Install the new battery
Place the battery in the same orientation as the old one (positive terminal on the same side). Tighten the hold-down clamp firmly.
Step 7. Connect the cables
Connect the positive (+) terminal first, then the negative (−). Tighten the nuts with the wrench until each terminal does not move. Apply anti-spark grease if you have any.
Step 8. Verify the engine starts
Close the bonnet. Start the engine to confirm everything works. On cars with Start-Stop or a BMS, you may need to register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.
Frequently asked questions
How is the Exide EG1206 battery installed in the vehicle?
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.
What is the service life of the EG1206 model?
Expected lifespan of the Exide EG1206 is 4 to 7 years in regular use (depends on technology and climate). 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 dimensions of the Exide EG1206 battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 510×175×225 mm — also written as 510x175x225 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 EG1206 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 EG1206 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.
What are the equivalents of the EG1206 model?
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.
