Exide EG1406 · Truck battery 12V 140Ah 800A

Truck battery Exide EG1406 Start PRO 140Ah 800A 12V

With 140 Ah and 800 A of cold cranking current (EN), the Exide EG1406 from the Start PRO range is built for professional use in trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. Its 510 × 175 × 225 mm and the positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 140 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.

Size, terminals and hold-down of the Exide EG1406

The Exide EG1406 is made in the 510 × 175 × 225 mm format and weighs 33.50 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 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 the Exide EG1406 is for

The Exide EG1406 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 33.50 kg, 1 terminals and B3 hold-down.

The Exide EG1406: Start PRO range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Exide catalogue, the Start PRO series groups the references designed for this use. The EG1406 is the 140 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.

Exide: the maker behind the EG1406

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.

Warranty and coverage

The Exide EG1406 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.

Care and maintenance

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.
