Truck battery Exide EG1553 Start PRO 155Ah 900A 12V
With 155 Ah and 900 A of cold cranking current (EN), the Exide EG1553 from the Start PRO range is built for professional use in trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in trucks with a 513 × 223 × 223 mm format: same 155 Ah capacity.
In short: the Exide EG1553 (155 Ah, 900 A, 513 × 223 × 223 mm). Verified equivalent alternatives: Varta L2 and Tudor TG1553.
- Powerful cold cranking for large-displacement diesel engines.
- Designed for 24 V installations with two batteries in series.
- Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.
- Heavy Duty construction for intensive professional use.
Will it fit your current battery tray?
It has external dimensions of 513 × 223 × 223 mm and weighs 40.20 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.
Vehicles compatible with the Exide EG1553
This battery appears as compatible in more than 280 vehicles from manufacturers such as Fiat, Fendt, Case, Universal, Massey Ferguson and International-Harvester. It is a go-to option when you need a battery for a Fiat, Fendt or other models that use this same format. The compatibility list also includes models from Case International, Laverda, Paget (valmet), Bolinders - Volvo, Zetor, Liebherr, Zettelmeyer and Bröyt. In our database it is cross-referenced against 15 original-equipment part numbers, which gives an idea of its real coverage.
The Exide EG1553: Start PRO range and conventional lead-acid technology
Within the Exide catalogue, the Start PRO series groups the references designed for this use. The EG1553 is the 155 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.
Conventional lead-acid is the benchmark against which other technologies are compared: good cranking current, great tolerance to alternator charging and the best price per amp-hour.
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. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.
Warranty and coverage
The Exide EG1553 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.
How to make it last longer
On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. During rest stops with active loads, avoid repeated deep discharges: they shorten the life of any starter battery.
Delivery times and returns
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 EG1553 battery last?
As a rough estimate, the Exide EG1553 typically lasts 4 to 6 years in normal lorry use; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. It can vary considerably with usage (short or long journeys), temperature, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, plus the truck itself and Start-Stop. Cold demands more at every start and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte.
What are the dimensions of the Exide EG1553 battery?
Before buying, measure the space in your truck: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing. The Exide EG1553 takes up 513×223×223 mm (length, width and height, terminals included).
Will the Exide EG1553 battery fit my truck?
Not sure? Try your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine) or the "Compatible vehicles" tab, checked by our technical team; if your truck is not there, send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp and we will reply 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. The compatibility list for the EG1553 runs to 141 verified vehicle versions.
Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?
To replace the Exide EG1553 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size, polarity, Ah and CCA. Not just any technology will do: an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop trucks. The "Equivalents" section further down lists the recommended alternatives.
