What the Exide EG2254 is for
Designed for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery, the Exide EG2254 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 54.90 kg and 1 terminals.
The Exide EG2254: Start PRO range and conventional lead-acid technology
The EG2254 is part of the Exide Start PRO range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.
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.
Will it fit your current battery tray?
In terms of format, the Exide EG2254 measures 518 × 279 × 240 mm (length × width × height) 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 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.
Exide: the maker behind the EG2254
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.
Usage and maintenance tips
Keep the terminals clean and tight and the battery firmly secured against chassis vibration. During rest stops with active loads, avoid repeated deep discharges: they shorten the life of any starter battery.
Warranty and coverage
The Exide EG2254 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.
Shipping, delivery and returns
Orders placed before 6:00 pm with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 1 to 2 working days; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 1 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 EG2254 battery last?
As a rough estimate, the Exide EG2254 typically lasts 4 to 6 years in normal lorry use; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. Actual lifespan varies with climate (cold starts, heat evaporating the electrolyte), with usage and short journeys, with the condition of the alternator and charging system, with power draw while parked and with maintenance; the type of truck and Start-Stop also count.
What are the measurements of the EG2254 model?
It measures 518×274×240 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.
On which side is the positive of the EG2254 model?
Polarity of the Exide EG2254: positive on the right. 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). Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring.
Does this battery fit my truck?
The EG2254 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. The quickest way is to enter your number plate in the finder: DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine. You can also look at the "Compatible vehicles" tab, verified by our technical team, or send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp; we answer 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.
Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?
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. To replace the Exide EG2254 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size, polarity, Ah and CCA.
Exide EG2254 or Exide EP2100: which one to choose?
It is the AGM of the same case: more cycles, more cranking and better resistance to power draw at standstill than the EG2254. Compared with the EG2254 it has 15 Ah more. It costs 124,85 € more. Essential if the vehicle requires AGM from the factory or draws a lot with the engine off; in conventional use the EG2254 does the job and AGM adds service life.
Exide EG2254 or Exide EE2353: which one to choose?
It is the EFB version of the same case: it withstands far more partial discharges than the EG2254. Compared with the EG2254 it has 10 Ah more. It costs 71,85 € more. Essential with Start-Stop or heavy draw at standstill; in a conventional-use truck the EG2254 does the job and EFB only adds service life.
