|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tudor TB558 | Lead-acid | 55 Ah | 620 A | 230 × 180 × 186 |

## What it means that the EB558 is lead-acid

Inside, the EB558 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. It is a robust, well-known technology with a good capacity-to-price ratio, and still the basis of most cars, trucks and traction equipment.

## Before ordering the EB558, check this

- If your car has Start-Stop, the EB558 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 620 A or less, the EB558 covers your engine.
- With 55 Ah, the EB558 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Polarity of the EB558: positive terminal on the left (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Length, width and height of the EB558: 230 × 180 × 186 mm.
