Withstands constant chassis vibration, supports long cold-engine cranks and keeps auxiliary services running (tachograph, heater, refrigeration, GPS) during driver's mandatory rest stops. ### 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 πŸ”Œ Voltage 12 V ⚑ Capacity 170 Ah C20 πŸ”‹ Cold cranking 950 A EN-1 πŸ“ Dimensions 514Γ—218Γ—210 mm βš™οΈ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left βš–οΈ Weight 42,5 kg 🏷️ Model EXIDE START PRO ## Description ## Truck battery Exide EG1705 Start PRO 170Ah 950A 12V 12*V* Voltage 170*Ah* Capacity 950*A* Cold cranking 42.50*kg* Weight The **Exide EG1705 truck battery** is rated at **12 V**, **170 Ah** and **950 A** of cold cranking current (EN) from the **Start PRO** range, and is prepared for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in trucks with a 514 Γ— 218 Γ— 210 mm format: same 170 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the left. - 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? In terms of format, the Exide EG1705 measures 514 Γ— 218 Γ— 210 mm (length Γ— width Γ— height) and weighs 42.50 kg. The positive terminal on the left 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 EN taper post terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters. ### What the Exide EG1705 is for Designed for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery, the Exide EG1705 withstands constant chassis vibration and discharges during stops with active loads. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 42.50 kg, EN taper post terminals and B3 hold-down. ### The Exide EG1705: Start PRO range and conventional lead-acid technology Within the Exide catalogue, the **Start PRO** series groups the references designed for this use. The EG1705 is the 170 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 EG1705 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. All the Exide batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty. ### Official warranty The Exide EG1705 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**. ### Usage and maintenance tips Keep the terminals clean and tight and the battery firmly secured against chassis vibration. On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. ### Delivery times and returns Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed **before [[ks:cutoff]]**: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for **[[ks:return_days]] days** if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I fit the EG1705 model in my truck? 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 (βˆ’) 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 β€” match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (βˆ’). 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 EG1705 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Exide EG1705 is 4 to 7 years in regular use (depends on technology and climate). 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 EG1705 model? Dimensions (length Γ— width Γ— height) are 514Γ—218Γ—210 mm β€” also written as 514x218x210 mm β€” 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 EG1705 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 β€” we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The EG1705 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide EG1705? 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 β€” 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 - [VARTA K4](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-k4-12v-143ah-950a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team β€” over 25 years of experience validating automotive batteries. β†’ https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com β€” Automotive batteries Β· 2026-10-03*
