Heavy-duty commercial vehicles operating in standard fleet and haulage environments demand a battery that delivers consistent cranking power across extended service cycles without requiring advanced vibration-resistance or cycling technology. The Exide EG1553 Start PRO is a 12V, 155Ah commercial battery rated at 900 CCA (EN) and engineered to meet precisely those requirements, providing reliable engine starting for trucks and large commercial vehicles that operate under conventional duty cycles.
Manufactured by Exide Technologies under the Start PRO CV range, the EG1553 utilises hot melt fixation of plate groups to secure the internal cell assembly, improving structural integrity during road use. This robust construction is central to the Start PRO philosophy: a dependable, no-compromise battery for standard commercial applications where consistent starting performance is the primary criterion.
The EG1553 measures 513mm × 223mm – 223mm (L × W × H) and is housed in a D05 case with B00 hold-down configuration. Polarity is code 3. The battery cross-references to the industry-standard 629 group reference, making it a direct fitment for a wide range of trucks and commercial vehicles currently running a 629-type battery. Start-stop compatibility is not confirmed – refer to the product label before installation in start-stop applications. Weight is 40.2 kg.
