Garden machinery places unique electrical demands on a battery: long periods of inactivity between seasonal uses, repeated high-current cranking loads, and exposure to vibration from cutting decks and rough terrain. The Lucas LP896 is a 12V 32Ah lead-acid battery engineered specifically to meet these conditions, supplied under Lucas Automotive's Premium garden machinery range and referenced as product group 2226.
Lucas Automotive is a heritage British brand with deep roots in automotive and industrial electrical components. The LP896 is built to deliver high cranking capacity alongside low self-discharge characteristics, making it particularly well suited to applications where the battery may sit unused for extended periods between mowing seasons without significant capacity loss. The LP896 operates at 12VV.
The LP896 measures 205mm (L) × 132mm (W) × 185mm (H including terminal) and weighs 7.6 kg. It is housed in a U01 case, fitted with type-19 terminals, hold-down type B00, and wired to polarity 1 (positive on the left). Cold Cranking Amps are rated at 300A (EN). The cross-reference code is 896, and this battery is also sold under the reference 532 181 030. Start-stop compatibility has not been confirmed – please refer to the product label before fitting.
A smaller variant, the LP895 (PID000138253), is available within the same Lucas garden machinery battery series for applications requiring a lower capacity rating.
The LP896 is supplied with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions.
