Exide EG1806 · Truck battery 12V 180Ah 1000A

Truck battery Exide EG1806 Start PRO 180Ah 1,000A 12V

The Exide EG1806 with conventional lead-acid technology delivers 180 Ah at 12 V and 1,000 A of cold cranking current (EN): what trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery demand. Its 510 × 218 × 225 mm and the positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 180 Ah battery fitted as standard to many trucks.

In short: the Exide EG1806 (180 Ah, 1000 A, 510 × 218 × 225 mm, positive terminal on the right). Verified equivalent alternatives: Tudor TG1806 and Varta M7.

• Better tolerance to deep discharge than a conventional starter battery.
• Powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops.
• Resistant to constant chassis vibration.
• Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.

What the Exide EG1806 is for

With 180 Ah, the Exide EG1806 cranks large-displacement diesel engines in the cold and powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 43 kg, 1 terminals and B3 hold-down.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

The Exide EG1806 is made in the 510 × 218 × 225 mm format and weighs 43 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. 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.

The Exide EG1806: Start PRO range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Exide catalogue, the Start PRO series groups the references designed for this use. The EG1806 is the 180 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 EG1806

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.

Warranty and coverage

The Exide EG1806 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

In 24 V installations, check periodically that both batteries show the same voltage; an imbalance means one is failing. Keep the terminals clean and tight and the battery firmly secured against chassis vibration.
