  • The EG1705 needs 514 × 218 × 210 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
  • With 170 Ah, the EG1705 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
  • The EG1705 delivers 950 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.

Exide EG1705 or EG1353?

Compared with the EG1705, the Exide EG1353 has 35 Ah less and 50 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 1,000 A or more, choose the EG1353; if it says 950 A or less, the EG1705 is enough. Both measure 514 × 218 × 210 mm, so they fit the same tray.

The EG1705 weighs 42.5 kg. For reference, the Exide EG1353 (135 Ah) weighs 39.8 kg.

Which battery is equivalent to the Exide EG1705?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Tudor TG1705, Fulmen FG1705 and Deta DG1705. As the EG1705 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

Are truck batteries fitted in pairs?

Almost always, in series for 24 V. Replace them in matched pairs: mixing a new one with an old one unbalances charging and shortens the new one's life.
