Answers before you buy
What cranking current does the Tudor TC542 deliver?
Under the EN test it delivers 500A.
Is the Tudor TC542 the same size and layout as my battery?
Measure your current battery and note its terminal position. This one is 242 × 175 × 175 mm, positive on the right-hand side.
Can a battery be stored before use?
Yes, gradually. Lead batteries lose a little charge each month, lithium much less. A quick charge before use is a good idea.
Can you give me the size and weight of this battery?
Measurements are 242 × 175 × 175 mm, and it weighs 12.9 kg. Check the height under the bonnet or seat as well.
What lead-acid means for you
Six cells of about two volts each make up a typical 12-volt battery. Older cars without stop-start systems are happy with a standard lead-acid battery. Keep flooded batteries upright.

Tudor TC542 in everyday use
An old car that has never had a new battery is often running on borrowed time. Tighten the hold-down clamp so the battery cannot rock on bumpy roads. Electrical gremlins after a battery swap are often just a loose clamp.
