Where the Tudor TC550 fits
The Tudor TC550 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. If your car has no Start-Stop and had a 55 Ah battery, the TC550 is a direct replacement.
At 55 Ah it covers petrol compacts and small diesels, the best-selling format in Europe. The TC550 belongs to the Tudor TUDOR Standard range. More Tudor batteries

What to look at before buying the TC550
- Length, width and height of the TC550: 242 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L2).
- The TC550 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
- With 55 Ah, the TC550 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 460 A or less, the TC550 covers your engine.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the TC550 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
