Sourcing a reliable battery for a classic or vintage vehicle presents unique challenges: modern high-spec units are frequently too wide or too tall for period battery trays, and oversized footprints can compromise fitment entirely. The Lucas LH279 Vintage Battery addresses this directly, providing a period-appropriate solution engineered for older vehicle platforms where dimensional accuracy is as important as electrical performance.
Manufactured under the Lucas Automotive brand, the LH279 belongs to the Lucas Vintage range – Product Group 2220 – a series developed to meet the specific starting and cycling demands of classic and heritage vehicles. The battery delivers 12V output, 73Ah capacity (C20 rating), and 500 Cold Cranking Amps (EN), providing reliable engine starts across a broad range of ambient conditions.
The LH279 measures 490mm (L) × 110mm (W) × 220mm (H inc. terminal), with a narrow 110mm width that suits elongated vintage battery trays. Terminal placement follows Layout 1, with Polarity 5 configuration and Hold-Down type B00. Cross-reference: 279. Start-stop compatibility has not been confirmed – refer to the product label before installation in start-stop applications.
This product is available as part of a broader Lucas Vintage range. Related variants include LH404, LH501, LH511, and LH521, offering alternative capacities and dimensions within the same product family." The LH279 is supplied with a 1-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under everyday driving conditions.
