Dimensions, polarity and mounting

In terms of format, the Tudor TF1723 measures 513 × 223 × 223 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 48.80 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 a B00 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.

What the Tudor TF1723 is for

With 172 Ah, the Tudor TF1723 cranks large-displacement diesel engines in the cold and powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 48.80 kg, EN taper post terminals and B00 hold-down.

Technology inside the Tudor TF1723

Within the Tudor catalogue, the TF1723 is the 172 Ah model designed for this application.

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.

Tudor: the maker behind the TF1723

Tudor is Spain's historic battery brand, today part of the Exide group. Its car, truck, motorcycle and leisure ranges are built with the same technology and controls as the group's original-equipment references. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.

Official warranty

The Tudor TF1723 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

On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. In 24 V installations, check periodically that both batteries show the same voltage; an imbalance means one is failing.
