Start-stop vehicles place exceptional demands on their batteries, requiring components that can endure frequent engine cycling without the performance degradation seen in conventional lead-acid units. The Lucas LE005 is an Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) engineered specifically to meet these demands, providing reliable cold-start performance and sustained cycling capability for vehicles equipped with start-stop technology.
Developed under the Lucas Fusion range by Lucas Automotive, the LE005 draws on EFB construction principles that deliver higher cyclic stability and faster recharge rates than standard flooded batteries. This makes the battery well-suited to vehicles employing regenerative braking and energy recuperation systems, where the battery must absorb and deliver charge repeatedly across a typical drive cycle.
The LE005 carries a 12V, 65Ah (C20) rating with a Cold Cranking Amps (EN) figure of 520A. Physical dimensions are 230mm (L) × 172mm (W) × 200mm (H including terminal), with a case size of D23 and a hold-down type of B01. Terminal layout is Type 1, Polarity 0 (positive terminal right). The manufacturer cross-reference is 005LEFB. A variant is available under SKU LE100 (PID000138235).
A 3-year manufacturer warranty is included as standard, applicable to this product in its intended fitment application.
Standard delivery: 1–3 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
The Lucas Fusion AGM & EFB battery ranges feature even higher cyclic stability and recharge more quickly than conventional lead-acid batteries. These characteristics are essential, especially when it comes to advanced systems which employ regenerative braking and other fuel-saving technologies.
