Reliable Commercial Starting Power
Commercial vehicles and working machinery require batteries capable of providing dependable starting power throughout demanding working schedules. The Exide EG1251 StartPRO combines a substantial 125Ah capacity with 760A cold-cranking performance, providing a reliable source of starting power for compatible commercial diesel engines.
The StartPRO range is particularly suited to conventional commercial applications where dependable engine starting is the primary requirement and the vehicle does not require a more specialised battery designed for intensive cycling or particularly high onboard electrical loads.
Exide StartPRO Commercial Battery Technology
The Exide StartPRO range is designed for commercial vehicles with conventional energy requirements. It provides dependable starting performance and robust construction for professional applications such as transport, agriculture, construction and industrial machinery.
For vehicles with extensive onboard equipment, frequent overnight electrical loads, intensive cycling requirements or more demanding operating profiles, always check whether the vehicle manufacturer specifies a higher-duty commercial battery technology.
Using the EG1251 in 24V Commercial Vehicles
Although the Exide EG1251 is a 12V battery, many trucks and other heavy commercial vehicles operate using a 24V electrical system. These applications commonly use two matching 12V batteries connected in series to provide the required 24V supply.
When replacing batteries in a paired 24V installation, it is generally advisable to replace both batteries together with two matching batteries. Mixing batteries of different ages, capacities, technologies or states of health can create an imbalance and may reduce starting performance and overall battery service life.
Type 656 Fitment
The Exide EG1251 uses the Type 656 commercial battery format. Commercial batteries with similar capacities and CCA ratings are not necessarily interchangeable, as case dimensions, terminal orientation and mounting arrangements can vary.
Always compare the physical dimensions, positive and negative terminal positions, cable reach and mounting arrangement with the battery currently fitted to the vehicle or equipment before ordering.
Important Fitment Information
Before ordering the Exide EG1251 StartPRO, check the specification of the battery or batteries currently installed. Confirm the voltage, Ah capacity, CCA rating, physical dimensions, terminal orientation and mounting arrangement to ensure compatibility.
If the vehicle uses two batteries as part of a 24V starting system, both batteries should ideally be the same model, capacity, specification and age. Replacing them as a matched pair helps maintain balanced charging and dependable starting performance across the battery bank.
Why Choose the Exide EG1251 StartPRO?

The most important questions about our high-quality replacement batteries for Truck & Commercial Vehicles
Find the right battery here
Truck & Commercial Vehicles
The easiest way is to use the data of your old battery. Make a note of the capacity, voltage, base strip and circuit. For 100% accuracy you should also measure the size (length, width and height) of the old starter battery. With this data you can easily find the right starter battery.
You don't know what to do? Then send us pictures of all sides of the old battery. We will be happy to help you find the right starter battery for your truck / commercial vehicle.
● Acid: Inside the battery is liquid acid which should be refilled at regular intervals - this is usually the cheapest price variant. We offer sealed lead acid maintenance free options
● AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat Technology): With AGM batteries the electrolyte (acid) is completely bound in a glass fibre fleece, therefore the batteries are leak-proof - medium price variant.
● GEL: The acid in these batteries is thickened to a gel. Like the AGM battery, they are leak-proof and extremely durable - high-quality price variant.
Our powerful AGM starter batteries are used when starting the engine. They are then recharged during the journey. Utility batteries supply your on-board devices (refrigerator, lighting, multimedia, etc.) while you are standing. The supply batteries can also be recharged either via solar cells or during the journey.
Our dual batteries are both starter and utility batteries. The Dual Batteries are ideal for use in small motorhomes. We recommend the use of a starter battery and one or more utility batteries.
Basically, you can adjust the quantity of your utility batteries to the available space. However, please keep in mind the weight limit of your vehicle. You can find more information in your vehicle manual.
Our batteries are packed and dispatched directly after your order by our automated packing line. The delivery time is between 1-3 days. If you need further information about your order, simply contact our service team or use the shipment tracking.
You can return the old battery to us in our shop. Alternatively, please dispose of the used battery at a recycling centre or scrap dealer.
Important: Ensure the respective company provides written confirmation about the disposal of the used battery.
The starter battery is automatically recharged during a longer journey. If you wish to recharge the battery after a longer period of stationary, use a charger.
The starter battery is recharged while driving by the alternator. The starter battery cannot usually be charged enough during frequent short distances. In order for your new starter battery to last longer, you should fully charge it by driving longer journeys or using an optional charger. Alternatively, you can also install an additional solar cell.
The easiest way is to use the data of your old battery. Or have a look at the instruction manual of your truck / commercial vehicle.
Trucks usually have a voltage of 24 volts. If you are unsure, check your old battery or your vehicle instruction manual.
To choose the capacity you should use your old battery as a template. If you are unsure, check your used battery or your vehicle manual.
Many vehicles switch off the engine during short standstills. When choosing the right starter battery, please make sure that your vehicle also has a Start-Stop automatic. For further information, please refer to your vehicle manual.
Check on your old starter battery which baseboard you need. Or take a look at your vehicle manual.
