Truck battery Kronobat SHD-180.3 Promotive Premium 180Ah 1,000A 12V
With 180 Ah and 1,000 A of cold cranking current (EN), the Kronobat SHD-180.3 from the Promotive Premium range is built for professional use in trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. It measures 513 × 223 × 223 mm and the positive terminal on the left, the format sought by anyone replacing a 180 Ah battery in trucks.
- Designed for 24 V installations with two batteries in series.
- Powerful cold cranking for large-displacement diesel engines.
- Heavy Duty construction for intensive professional use.
- Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.
What the Kronobat SHD-180.3 is for
With 180 Ah, the Kronobat SHD-180.3 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 46.40 kg and 1.0 terminals.
Will it fit your current battery tray?
It has external dimensions of 513 × 223 × 223 mm and weighs 46.40 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 1.0 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.
What Kronobat does differently
Kronobat is the exclusive brand of baterias.com: batteries made to the same production standards as the leading brands, with a value for money that is hard to match and an official warranty. We guarantee that every Kronobat arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.
The Kronobat SHD-180.3: Promotive Premium range and conventional lead-acid technology
Within the Kronobat catalogue, the Promotive Premium series groups the references designed for this use. The SHD-180.3 is the 180 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.
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.
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.
Official warranty
The Kronobat SHD-180.3 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.
When you get it and how to return it
Order before 6:00 pm with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have 14 days to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

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 Kronobat SHD-180.3 battery last?
Estimated lifespan of the Kronobat SHD-180.3: 4 to 6 years in normal lorry use. Treat it as an approximate guide, as every case is different. It can vary considerably with usage (short or long journeys), temperature, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, plus the truck itself and Start-Stop. Cold demands more at every start and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte.
What size is this battery?
Measure your truck's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close. Length × width × height: 513x223x223 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals.
On which side is the positive of the SHD-180.3 model?
The SHD-180.3 has the positive on the left: that is its polarity. Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on. Compare it with the battery you are replacing: if it does not match, cables must be lengthened or the system reconfigured, with a risk of short circuit.
Will the Kronobat SHD-180.3 battery fit my truck?
Not sure? Try your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine) or the "Compatible vehicles" tab, checked by our technical team; if your truck is not there, send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp and we will reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). If our table and the truck handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says.
Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?
Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the SHD-180.3, 180 Ah (1000 A cranking). Technology matters too: in Start-Stop trucks, an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery. The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page.
Kronobat SHD-180.3 or Kronobat DP-190-EFB: which one to choose?
It is the EFB version of the same case: it withstands far more partial discharges than the SHD-180.3. Compared with the SHD-180.3 it has 10 Ah more and 50 A of cold cranking more. It costs 95,00 € more. Essential with Start-Stop or heavy draw at standstill; in a conventional-use truck the SHD-180.3 does the job and EFB only adds service life.
Kronobat SHD-180.3 or Varta M12: which one to choose?
The Varta alternative that fits where the SHD-180.3 goes, with the same polarity. Compared with the SHD-180.3 it has 400 A of cold cranking more. It costs 37,30 € more. A straight swap with nothing to adapt; the difference is the price and the brand you prefer.
