## Description

## The Tudor TB500 at a glance

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. The TB500 covers the daily routine of a car without automatic engine stop: cold starts, short trips and loads with the ignition off.
At 50 Ah it covers petrol compacts and small diesels, the best-selling format in Europe. The TB500 belongs to the Tudor TUDOR TECHNICA range. [See all Tudor batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/tudor-batteries)
