### 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.

### When you get it and how to return it

Order **before 6:00 pm** with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have **14 days** to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment 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 EG1406 battery last?

There is no exact figure: for a battery such as the Exide EG1406 (conventional), a reasonable guide is 4 to 6 years in normal lorry use. What weighs most: temperature (cold makes starts harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), frequent short trips, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power draw while parked and maintenance, not forgetting the type of truck and Start-Stop.

### What are the dimensions of the Exide EG1406 battery?

The Exide EG1406 takes up 510×175×225 mm (length, width and height, terminals included), with a B3 hold-down. Before buying, measure the space in your truck: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing.

### On which side is the positive of the EG1406 model?

It has the positive on the right (polarity). Put it in front of you, terminals towards you: the post with the red ring and the + sign is the positive. 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 EG1406 battery fit my truck?

Three routes: the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, with the vehicles verified by our technical team; your number plate in the finder, from which DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine; and WhatsApp, with make, model, engine and year, during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The truck manufacturer's specifications always take priority over our tables.

### Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide EG1406?

The "Equivalents" section of this page gathers the recommended options with equivalent performance; remember that in Start-Stop trucks an EFB should not be replaced with a conventional battery. To replace the Exide EG1406 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size, polarity, Ah and CCA.

### Exide EG1406 or Tudor TG1406: which one to choose?

The Tudor alternative that fits where the EG1406 goes, with the same polarity. Compared with the EG1406 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs 57,40 € more. A straight swap with nothing to adapt; the difference is the price and the brand you prefer.
