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.
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.
What is the service life of the EG2253 model?
Estimated lifespan of the Exide EG2253: 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 EG2253 model?
Before buying, measure the space in your truck: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing. The Exide EG2253 takes up 518×274×240 mm (length, width and height, terminals included).
What polarity does the Exide EG2253 battery have?
The EG2253 has the positive on the left: that is its polarity. Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on. A change of polarity from the original means longer cables or a reconfigured system and can cause a short circuit: check it before ordering.
Will the Exide EG2253 battery fit my truck?
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)). The truck manufacturer's specifications always take priority over our tables. Our database holds 355 verified vehicle versions for the Exide EG2253.
What are the equivalents of the EG2253 model?
To replace the Exide EG2253 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size, polarity, Ah and CCA. The "Equivalents" section of this page gathers the recommended options with equivalent performance; remember that in Start-Stop trucks an EFB should not be replaced with a conventional battery.
Exide EG2253 or Exide EE2353: which one to choose?
