The Tudor TB500 is a starter battery for cars without Start-Stop: it delivers the current the starter motor needs and then powers lights, control units and audio with the engine off.

  • With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the TB500 is on the right.
  • The TB500 needs 207 × 175 × 190 mm of space (European case size L1): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
