With 215 Ah and 1,200 A of cold cranking current (EN), the Exide EG2154 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 518 × 279 × 240 mm format: same 215 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the right.

In short: the Exide EG2154 (215 Ah, 1200 A, 518 × 279 × 240 mm, positive terminal on the right). Verified equivalent alternatives: Exide EG2254 and Tudor TG2254.

  • Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.
  • Heavy Duty construction for intensive professional use.
  • Powerful cold cranking for large-displacement diesel engines.
  • Designed for 24 V installations with two batteries in series.

Size, terminals and hold-down of the Exide EG2154

The Exide EG2154 is made in the 518 × 279 × 240 mm format and weighs 54.90 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 B0 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.

What the Exide EG2154 is for

With 215 Ah, the Exide EG2154 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 54.90 kg, 1 terminals and B0 hold-down.

The Exide EG2154: Start PRO range and conventional lead-acid technology

The Start PRO is the Exide range the EG2154 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.

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

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. We guarantee that every Exide arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Exide EG2154 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.

Care and maintenance

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.

Delivery times and returns

Orders placed before 6:00 pm with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have 14 days to return an unused battery; in mainland Spain and Portugal collection is free. We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships.

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 EG2154 battery last?

Estimated lifespan of the Exide EG2154: 4 to 6 years in normal lorry use. Treat it as an approximate guide, as every case is different. 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 measurements of the EG2154 model?

It measures 518×279×240 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height. Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close.

Which side is the positive terminal on this battery?

The EG2154 has the positive on the right: that is its polarity. If your current battery has its positive on the other side, this one is not suitable without longer cables or a reconfigured system (short-circuit risk). Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on.

Is the EG2154 valid for my vehicle?

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)). In every case, the truck manufacturer's specifications (owner's handbook) take precedence.

What are the equivalents of the EG2154 model?

To replace the Exide EG2154 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size, polarity, Ah and CCA. See the "Equivalents" section of this page for the recommended options at the same performance level. Mind the technology: in Start-Stop trucks an EFB is not swapped for a conventional battery.

Exide EG2154 or Exide EG2254: which one to choose?

It is the bigger sister of the EG2154 in the same Exide range. Compared with the EG2154 it has 10 Ah more. It costs 490,00 € less. Worth it with an equipped cab (fridge, heater, equipment) or many long stops; otherwise the EG2154 does the job.

Exide EG2154 or Varta C40: which one to choose?

It is the EFB version of the same case: it withstands far more partial discharges than the EG2154. Compared with the EG2154 it has 25 Ah more. It costs 449,35 € less. Essential with Start-Stop or heavy draw at standstill; in a conventional-use truck the EG2154 does the job and EFB only adds service life.
