Inside the TA680: lead-acid technology
Inside, the TA680 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the TA680 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.
Before ordering the TA680, check this
- If your car has Start-Stop, the TA680 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- The TA680 delivers 650 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- With 68 Ah, the TA680 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the TA680 is on the right.
- Measure the space: the TA680 takes up 277 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L3).
Frequently asked questions about the Tudor TA680
TA680 or TC700: which one suits me?
Compared with the TA680, the Tudor TC700 has 2 Ah more and 10 A less cranking power. The TA680 cranks harder; the TC700 is only a good option if your original battery says 640 A or less. Both measure 277 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
Tudor TA680 or TA681: what is the difference?
Only the polarity: the TA680 has the positive terminal on the right and the TA681 the positive terminal on the left. Capacity (68 Ah), cranking power and dimensions are identical.
Tudor TA680 or TL652/TB712: what changes?
Mainly the height: the TA680 is 190 mm tall (L3) and the Tudor TL652 175 mm (LB3), with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the TL652 offers 65 Ah and 650 A against 68 Ah and 650 A. The Tudor TB712 is 175 mm tall, with 71 Ah and 670 A. Before choosing between the TA680 and the TL652, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.
Can the Tudor TA680 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

17 kg, with 68 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Tudor TC700 (70 Ah) weighs 16 kg.
