Tudor TB740 versus Tudor TB741, Tudor TK700 and Varta E44

If you are torn between the Tudor TB740 and the other 278 × 175 × 190 mm batteries we sell most, these are the real differences, with October 2026 prices:

• Tudor TB741 (74 Ah, 680 A, conventional): the same battery as the TB740 but with the positive on the left: the one you need if the cables in your car come from the other side; 66.50 € VAT incl., 4.55 € more than the TB740.
• Tudor TK700 (72 Ah, 760 A, AGM): the AGM alternative for Start-Stop cars with regenerative braking; in a car without Start-Stop it adds nothing over the TB740; 118.90 € VAT incl., 56.95 € more than the TB740.
• Varta E44 (77 Ah, 780 A, conventional): the verified Varta equivalent in the same size and 3 Ah more; 85.40 € VAT incl., 23.45 € more than the TB740.

In short: the Tudor TB740 is the logical choice if your car has no Start-Stop and originally had around 74 Ah; with Start-Stop, do not fit it and go for Tudor TL700 (EFB) or Tudor TK700 (AGM).

The Tudor TB740: Technica range and conventional lead-acid technology

The TB740 is part of the Tudor Technica range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.

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.
