Maintaining reliable starting performance in classic and vintage vehicles presents a distinct engineering challenge: modern 12V replacements are incompatible with period-correct 6V electrical systems, and generic batteries rarely meet the exacting capacity demands of older charging circuits. The Lucas LH404 addresses this directly as a purpose-built 6V battery engineered specifically for vintage automotive applications under the Lucas Vintage product group (2220).
Lucas Automotive has manufactured electrical components for the automotive aftermarket for decades, and the LH404 continues that tradition. Rated at 71Ah capacity (C20) and 400 Cold Cranking Amps (EN), this battery is designed to deliver consistent cranking power and sustained charge retention under the operating conditions typical of classic and vintage vehicles, including lower-demand charging systems and intermittent seasonal use." The LH404 measures 216mm × 170mm – 183mm (L × W × H) and weighs 9.5kg. It features Terminal Type 1 placement with Polarity 0 (positive right) and Hold-Down Type B00. It cross-references directly to battery code 404 and OE reference 583 180 040. Compatibility with start-stop systems is not confirmed; refer to the product label for guidance. "This battery is also available in alternative variants suited to differing vintage vehicle specifications: LH279, LH501, LH511, and LH521.
The LH404 is supplied with a 1-year warranty, providing assurance of product quality and reliable service life under standard operating conditions.
