The Lucas Premium series is designed to provide reliable power for a wide range of vehicles, delivering durability, consistent performance, and dependable starting power. These lead-acid batteries are built with high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes, ensuring a long lifespan and resilience under various driving conditions. The Lucas Premium series offers a balance of affordability and efficiency, making it a preferred choice for drivers who require a solid and dependable battery for everyday use.

The Lucas LP079 is a 50Ah lead-acid battery with a maximum cold-cranking amperage (CCA) of 420A. With dimensions of 210mm in length, 175mm in width, and 190mm in height, the LP079 is slightly larger than the standard L1 size (207x175x190mm). However, it remains within the general European standard and is compatible with vehicles designed to accommodate B13-mounted batteries. The B13 mounting system ensures a secure fit, as it features a securing strip around the perimeter, making it widely used in European vehicles.

The 50Ah capacity makes the LP079 suitable for small to mid-sized vehicles that do not have high electrical demands. It provides sufficient power for cars with basic electronic systems and conventional ignition setups. While the 420A cold-cranking power is slightly lower than some competing models, it remains adequate for reliable starting performance in moderate climates. Drivers who require additional starting power may consider alternatives with higher CCA ratings.

When compared to similar models, the Lucas LP079 stands in the mid-range of its category. The Bosch S40 02 (52Ah, 470A) and Bosch S50 02 (54Ah, 530A) offer higher capacity and cranking power while maintaining the same dimensions. Similarly, the Exide Excell EB500 (50Ah, 450A) provides a slight advantage in terms of starting power. On the other hand, the Lucas LP012 (45Ah, 390A) is a close alternative with slightly lower specifications. The Varta Black Dynamic B19 (45Ah, 400A) is another competitor, offering slightly less capacity and power.

Overall, the Lucas LP079 is a solid choice for drivers looking for a reliable and cost-effective battery in the 50Ah range. Its slightly extended length provides a bit more capacity than some L1-sized batteries, while still fitting within most standard European battery trays. While it may not be the highest-performing model in its category, it offers dependable operation and a well-balanced combination of durability and performance for everyday driving conditions.
