The Lucas Premium battery series is engineered for reliability, durability, and enhanced performance in conventional vehicles. As part of the well-established Lucas brand, known for its automotive heritage and quality components, the Premium line is designed to offer solid power output, extended service life, and consistent starting performance. These batteries are an ideal solution for everyday drivers who want a trustworthy product that can handle moderate power demands. Built using advanced lead-acid technology, the Premium series provides dependable performance even in harsh weather conditions, while remaining completely maintenance-free under normal usage. It is a smart choice for compact vehicles and urban commuters who value performance at a competitive price point.
The Lucas LP063 is a compact yet capable battery from the Premium line, offering a capacity of 44 Ah and a cold cranking amperage of 420 A. These specifications make it a reliable choice for small petrol engines, city cars, and older vehicles that don’t have a high number of electronic consumers. While it doesn’t support start-stop systems — which require EFB or AGM technology — the LP063 is more than capable of meeting the needs of standard automotive electrical systems such as lighting, infotainment, and climate control.
One notable feature of the Lucas LP063 is its reduced height of just 175 mm, which is lower than the typical European standard battery height of 190 mm. This makes it particularly suitable for vehicles that require a low-profile battery design, ensuring proper fitment under the hood where vertical space is limited. With overall dimensions of 210 mm in length, 175 mm in width, and 175 mm in height, the LP063 corresponds closely to the LB1 size category. This is a European standard for compact batteries and allows easy installation in a wide range of smaller vehicles that specify this size.
In comparison with similar batteries on the market, the Lucas LP063 performs competitively. For instance, the Bosch S40 01 offers the same capacity at 44 Ah and a slightly higher cranking power of 440 A. The Varta Blue Dynamic B18 matches these specs exactly. The Exide EB442 also offers 44 Ah and 420 A, mirroring the LP063’s performance. For those needing a bit more starting power, the Exide EA472 (47 Ah, 450 A) or Bosch S50 01 (52 Ah, 520 A) provide upgrades, though at a higher cost. The Lucas Supreme LS063, with 50 Ah and 500 A, offers stronger performance but is otherwise nearly identical in size to the LP063. Given this context, the LP063 balances affordability with solid starting performance, positioning it as a practical and efficient solution for budget-conscious drivers.
The LP063 is also designed with standard European specifications in mind: it uses terminal layout 0, post type 1, and comes with a B13 hold-down for secure mounting. Its compact size, good cranking ability, and build quality make it an appealing option for drivers of smaller cars looking for a dependable battery that fits tight engine bays. Whether replacing an aging unit or upgrading from a lower-capacity model, the Lucas LP063 delivers reliable power and fits seamlessly into vehicles that require a lower-height battery solution.
