Exide EG2253 · Truck battery 12V 225Ah 1200A

Truck battery Exide EG2253 Start PRO 225Ah 1,200A 12V

The Exide EG2253 truck battery is rated at 12 V, 225 Ah and 1,200 A of cold cranking current (EN) from the Start PRO range, and is prepared for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. Measuring 518 × 279 × 240 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for trucks fitted from the factory with a 225 Ah battery of this format.

In short: the Exide EG2253 (225 Ah, 1200 A, 518 × 274 × 240 mm, positive terminal on the left). Verified equivalent alternatives: Varta N9 and Tudor TG2253.

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

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

The Exide EG2253 is made in the 518 × 279 × 240 mm format and weighs 54.90 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 1 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

What the Exide EG2253 is for

The Exide EG2253 is designed for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. In 24 V installations with two batteries in series, replace both at the same time to avoid imbalance. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 54.90 kg and 1 terminals.

The Exide EG2253: Start PRO range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Exide catalogue, the Start PRO series groups the references designed for this use. The EG2253 is the 225 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.

Exide: the maker behind the EG2253

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. All the Exide batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Exide EG2253 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

During rest stops with active loads, avoid repeated deep discharges: they shorten the life of any starter battery. In 24 V installations, check periodically that both batteries show the same voltage; an imbalance means one is failing.
