The Lucas Premium battery series is renowned for offering dependable starting power, long service life, and consistent performance across a wide range of vehicles. Designed with high-quality components and enhanced internal structures, Lucas Premium batteries ensure reliable energy flow even under demanding conditions. Their maintenance-free design and improved vibration resistance make them a preferred choice for drivers seeking peace of mind. Additionally, these batteries come with robust casing and advanced plate technology, providing better durability and cold-cranking performance compared to many standard alternatives.
The Lucas Premium LP110 is a 12V lead-acid battery designed primarily for European vehicles requiring a lower profile battery. It offers a capacity of 80Ah and a cold cranking amperage of 740A, ensuring reliable engine starts even in colder climates. The battery measures 315x175x175 mm, which aligns it with the H7/LB4 standard size commonly found in European cars. Thanks to its reduced height of 175mm, it fits perfectly into vehicles with limited vertical space under the hood—something standard-height batteries (typically 190mm or more) cannot accommodate. This lower profile is particularly important for modern European sedans and hatchbacks, where compact battery compartments are standard.
The LP110 is equipped with a polarity layout of 0 (positive on the right), standard European terminal type 1, and a B13 hold-down, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of European car models. It is worth noting that while the LP110 is a standard lead-acid battery and perfectly suitable for conventional engine systems, it is not designed for vehicles with start-stop systems. For such vehicles, an EFB or AGM battery would be required to handle the increased cycling demands.
When comparing the Lucas Premium LP110 to similar models from other well-known manufacturers, its features stand out favorably. For example, Bosch’s S40 10 offers the same 80Ah capacity and a slightly higher 740A starting current, but the Lucas model matches it closely while often being available at a more competitive price point. Meanwhile, Exide’s Excell EB802 also matches the 80Ah/700A specification but doesn’t offer significant advantages over the Lucas LP110. The Varta Blue Dynamic F17 mirrors the same 80Ah and 740A performance, emphasizing that Lucas provides a strong alternative with comparable technical excellence and trusted brand heritage.
In terms of practical use, the Lucas LP110 is an excellent choice for drivers looking for a reliable, cost-effective solution for cars like the BMW 5 Series (E60/E61), Audi A6, or various Volkswagen Passat models that require H7/LB4 format batteries. Its blend of power, fitment accuracy, and proven Lucas reliability makes it a smart investment for ensuring dependable vehicle operation throughout all seasons.
