Truck battery Tudor TG1803 Start PRO (Hd) 180Ah 1,000A 12V
The Tudor TG1803 with conventional lead-acid technology delivers 180 Ah at 12 V and 1,000 A of cold cranking current (EN): what trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery demand. Measuring 513 × 223 × 223 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for trucks fitted from the factory with a 180 Ah battery of this format.
In short: the Tudor TG1803 (180 Ah, 1000 A, 513 × 223 × 223 mm, positive terminal on the left). Verified equivalent alternatives: Varta M18 and Exide EG1803.
- 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.
Vehicles compatible with the Tudor TG1803
The Tudor TG1803 is compatible with more than 424 vehicles: it is fitted as original equipment or as a replacement by brands such as Fiat, New Holland, Case Ih, Carraro, Valmet and Case. It is a go-to option when you need a battery for a Fiat, New Holland or other models that use this same format. Models from Valtra, Steyr, Same, Case International, Hurlimann, Lamborghini, Zetor and Komatsu are added to that list. In our database it is cross-referenced against 97 original-equipment part numbers, which gives an idea of its real coverage.
Size, terminals and hold-down of the Tudor TG1803
It has external dimensions of 513 × 223 × 223 mm and weighs 42.80 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 B0 hold-down and EN taper post terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.
The Tudor TG1803: Start PRO (Hd) range and conventional lead-acid technology
Within the Tudor catalogue, the Start PRO (Hd) series groups the references designed for this use. The TG1803 is the 180 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.
What Tudor does differently
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 TG1803 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.
Usage and maintenance tips
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.
Delivery times and returns
Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed before 6:00 pm: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for 14 days if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions
How is the Tudor TG1803 battery installed in the vehicle?
In most trucks it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on our blog. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — with positive on the left match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On trucks with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.
How long does the Tudor TG1803 battery last?
Expected lifespan of the Tudor TG1803 is 4 to 7 years in regular use (depends on technology and climate). In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured.
What size is this battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 513×223×223 mm — also written as 513x223x223 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your truck before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.
What polarity does the Tudor TG1803 battery have?
Polarity: positive on the left. To identify it, place the battery in front of you with the terminals facing you and check which side the positive (+, marked with a red ring) is on. Before buying, verify the polarity matches your current battery: switching polarity forces longer cables or system reconfiguration, with short-circuit risk.
Will the Tudor TG1803 battery fit my truck?
Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The TG1803 fits 141 verified vehicle versions in our database.
Which batteries are equivalent to the Tudor TG1803?
Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop trucks. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
