Vibration-resistant, withstands long cold-diesel cranks and deep discharges during parking with active loads (tachograph, refrigeration, heater). ### 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 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 145 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 1000 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 360×253×240 mm ⚙️ Technology Lead-acid ⚖️ Weight 38,1 kg 🏷️ Model EXIDE START PRO ## Description ## Truck battery Exide EG145A Start PRO 145Ah 1,000A 12V 12*V* Voltage 145*Ah* Capacity 1,000*A* Cold cranking 38.10*kg* Weight With **145 Ah** and **1,000 A** of cold cranking current (EN), the **Exide EG145A** from the **Start PRO** range is built for professional use in trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. It measures 360 × 253 × 240 mm, the format sought by anyone replacing a 145 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 EG145A is for The Exide EG145A 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 38.10 kg. ### Dimensions, polarity and mounting The Exide EG145A is made in the 360 × 253 × 240 mm format and weighs 38.10 kg. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change. ### What Exide does differently With more than a century of history, Exide Technologies manufactures automotive, marine, motorcycle and industrial batteries in Europe. Its presence as original equipment on assembly lines vouches for the quality of every reference. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty. ### The Exide EG145A: Start PRO range and conventional lead-acid technology The **Start PRO** is the Exide range the EG145A belongs to: it shares the same construction and quality criteria with the rest of the series, and varies in capacity and format to suit each vehicle. The conventional lead-acid battery remains the most widespread technology thanks to its balance of capacity, cranking current and price. Well maintained and kept charged, it offers years of reliable service in vehicles without Start-Stop. ### How to make it last longer Keep the terminals clean and tight and the battery firmly secured against chassis vibration. During rest stops with active loads, avoid repeated deep discharges: they shorten the life of any starter battery. ### Manufacturer's warranty The Exide EG145A 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**. ### When you get it and how to return it Order **before [[ks:cutoff]]** 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 **[[ks:return_days]] days** to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email. ## Frequently asked questions ### How is the Exide EG145A 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. ### How long does the Exide EG145A battery last? Expected lifespan of the Exide EG145A is 4 to 6 years in regular truck use without Start-Stop. 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 measurements of the EG145A model? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 360×253×240 mm — also written as 360x253x240 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. ### Does this battery fit my truck? 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 EG145A typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### What are the equivalents of the EG145A 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. ## Equivalent batteries - [TUDOR TG145A](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tg145a-145ah-1000a) - [VARTA J8](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-j8-12v-135ah-680a) ## Reviews - **Average rating**: 4.79 / 5 (36 reviews) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — over 25 years of experience validating automotive batteries. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-09-28*
