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 πŸ”Œ Voltage 12 V ⚑ Capacity 120 Ah C20 πŸ”‹ Cold cranking 680 A EN-1 πŸ“ Dimensions 510Γ—175Γ—225 mm βš™οΈ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the right βš–οΈ Weight 31,8 kg 🏷️ Model EXIDE START PRO ## Description ## Truck battery Exide EG1206 Start PRO 120Ah 680A 12V 12*V* Voltage 120*Ah* Capacity 680*A* Cold cranking 31.80*kg* Weight 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 Γ— 175 Γ— 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 Γ— 175 Γ— 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 [[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 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 (βˆ’) 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 β€” match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (βˆ’). 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 Γ— width Γ— height) are 510Γ—175Γ—225 mm β€” also written as 510x175x225 mm β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 - [TUDOR TG1406](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tg1406-140ah-800a) - [EXIDE EG1406](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-eg1406-12v-140ah-800a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team β€” over 25 years of experience validating automotive batteries. β†’ https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com β€” Automotive batteries Β· 2026-09-30*
