A. The Lucas LE249 has a cold cranking amp (CCA) rating of 800A measured to the EN standard, making it suitable for reliable engine starting across a wide range of temperatures in vehicles equipped with start-stop systems.
A. The Lucas LE249 measures 302mm in length, 175mm in width, and 225mm in height including the terminal. It is housed in a D31 case. Always verify these dimensions against your vehicle's battery tray before ordering.
A. Yes. The LE249 is purpose-built for start-stop applications. Its EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) construction provides the high cyclic endurance and rapid recharge acceptance that start-stop systems demand, outperforming conventional lead-acid batteries in these duties.
A. The LE249 uses a Type 1 terminal arrangement with standard polarity (polarity code 0, positive terminal on the right when viewed from the front). The hold-down configuration is B01. Confirm terminal layout compatibility with your vehicle before fitting.
A. The Lucas LE249 carries the cross-reference code 249HEFB. This can be used to verify compatibility with existing battery listings or to cross-reference against other manufacturers' part numbering systems.
A. The Lucas LE249 is covered by a 3-year manufacturer's warranty. This reflects Lucas Automotive's confidence in the product's quality and durability for its intended start-stop application.
A. EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) technology incorporates a polyester scrim bonded to the positive plate, improving active material retention and significantly increasing cyclic stability. EFB batteries also accept charge more quickly than conventional lead-acid units, which is essential for vehicles using regenerative braking energy recovery.
A. EFB batteries are not a direct like-for-like replacement for AGM batteries in vehicles where the manufacturer specifies AGM technology. If your vehicle originally used an AGM battery, an AGM replacement is required. The LE249 is appropriate where an EFB or standard battery is specified.
A. Yes. The Lucas LE096 (PID000138234) is a smaller variant within the same EFB range and may suit applications requiring a different form factor. For further fitment guidance, use the vehicle registration lookup on the PartsForMachines website or contact the technical team.
