Tudor TC550 12V 55Ah 460A is a passenger car battery with factory-guaranteed cranking power and extended service life. OEM quality at white-label prices: calcium-silver grids, low self-discharge and compatible with all modern electrical systems.
Where it fits: the Tudor TC550 is one of our car batteries, belongs to our Tudor batteries and by capacity it sits among our 55Ah batteries.
Not for Start-Stop or regenerative braking; those need EFB or AGM. Nor if the original had more capacity or cranking: never downwards.
The Tudor TC550 from the Standard range delivers 55 Ah and 460 A of cold cranking current (EN) at 12 V: the usual specification for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. Its 242 × 175 × 190 mm and the positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 55 Ah battery fitted as standard to many cars.
In short: the Tudor TC550 (55 Ah, 460 A, 242 × 175 × 190 mm, positive terminal on the right). It is a conventional battery for cars without Start-Stop: if yours has Start-Stop, it needs an EFB or AGM battery of the same size. Verified equivalent alternatives: Exide EC550 and Tudor TB620.
With 55 Ah, the Tudor TC550 is sized for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. It is a direct replacement for the original battery as long as dimensions and terminals match. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 13.30 kg, EN taper post terminals and B13 hold-down.
Within the Tudor catalogue, the Standard series groups the references designed for this use. The TC550 is the 55 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.
The conventional lead-acid battery remains the most widespread technology thanks to its balance of capacity, cranking current and price. Well maintained and kept charged, it offers years of reliable service in vehicles without Start-Stop.
In terms of format, the Tudor TC550 measures 242 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 13.30 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 B13 hold-down and EN taper post 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.
Tudor has made batteries in Spain for more than a century and remains one of the brands most trusted by Spanish workshops for reliability and value. We guarantee that every Tudor arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.
In normal daily use the alternator keeps the battery charged; if the car stands for weeks, a maintenance charge once a month prevents deep discharge. On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water.
The Tudor TC550 comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects; the exact period is stated in the brand's conditions. If it fails through a defect within the period, we replace it free of charge.
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.

Fitting it yourself? Step-by-step guide to replacing the battery →
Our blog guide covers it in detail; if the owner's handbook describes a different procedure, follow the manufacturer. Tool: a 10 mm spanner. Time: 15-30 minutes on almost every car, and up to double if the battery is not under the bonnet but in the boot or under a seat. What matters most is the terminal order: removing, negative (−) before positive (+); refitting, positive (+) before negative (−). In between, with the engine off and the key out, release the clamp and fit the new battery the same way round as the original, positive on the right (polarity).
As a guide, you can expect the Tudor TC550 to last 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop, although the real figure may be higher or lower. Many factors play a part: how it is used (lots of short trips, for example), temperature (cold makes every start harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, as well as the type of car and whether it has Start-Stop.
Before buying, measure the space in your car: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing. The Tudor TC550 takes up 242×175×190 mm (length, width and height, terminals included), the European L2 case size.
On the Tudor TC550, the polarity is positive on the right. It must match your current battery: reversed polarity means lengthening cables or reconfiguring the system, with a risk of short circuit. To check, stand the battery in front of you with the terminals nearest you: the positive (+) is the one with the red ring.
For your own vehicle: type your number plate into the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA identify model and engine), check the "Compatible vehicles" tab below, listing vehicles verified by our technical team, or message us on WhatsApp with make, model, engine and year; we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The car manufacturer's specifications always take priority over our tables.
A battery interchangeable with the Tudor TC550 must match it on dimensions (242×175×190 mm), polarity (positive on the right), capacity (55 Ah) and cranking current (460 A). Technology matters too: in Start-Stop cars, an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery. The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page.
The next step up from the TC550 in the same range and the same case. Compared with the TC550 it has 7 Ah more and 80 A of cold cranking more. It costs 2,00 € more. The one to pick for big engines or heavy equipment; in a simple car the TC550 is enough.
It is the bigger sister of the TC550 in the same Tudor range. Compared with the TC550 it has 9 Ah more and 180 A of cold cranking more. It costs 10,15 € more. If the tray takes the size, extra reserve never hurts; for a daily-driven petrol car the extra is not needed.
