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
How is the Exide EG1553 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 our blog. 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 EG1553 battery last?
Expected lifespan of the Exide EG1553 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 dimensions of the Exide EG1553 battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 513×223×223 mm — also written as 513x223x223 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.
Will the Exide EG1553 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 EG1553 fits 141 verified vehicle versions in our database.
Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?
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.
