Truck Battery Price in Pakistan: Heavy-Duty, Tractor and Generator

Which battery for which truck or tractor

These fits come from the vehicle lists the makers publish:

• Fiat 640 tractor, Hino trucks and buses: AGS GX 165 (120Ah, 21 plates), AGS WS 195, Osaka HT-150 to HT-200.
• Bedford trucks, Mazda coaster, Isuzu: AGS GX 175 (140Ah, 23 plates), AGS WS 230 (150Ah), AGS GX 260F (220Ah, 33 plates).
• Hino trucks, buses and bowsers: AGS GL 190 (150Ah, 23 plates).
• Fiat 460/480, IMT 540 and Massey Ferguson 240/265 tractors, Land Rover and Land Cruiser: AGS N 125 (100Ah, 17 plates) and WS 135.
• Ford tractors (low height): Osaka HT-6LT 200 (130Ah, 25 plates) and HT-6LT 220 (145Ah, 29 plates), Volta V 6LT 200 (130Ah). AGS WS 220 is listed for Ford 3610.
• Isuzu trucks, Mercedes Benz and Hino ZH-100: AGS WS 165 and WS 180 (105Ah).
• Bulldozers, buses and big generator sets: Osaka HT-225 to HT-300 (135Ah to 215Ah), AGS GX 200F, AGS WS 260 and WS 270.
• Tractors in general: Daewoo AGRI 125 L (95Ah).

Always check your old battery's size and terminal layout.

What do plates and Ah mean?

Searches like "21 plates battery price" and "27 plates price" are very common. The plate count is the number of plates per cell. More plates usually means more Ah and more starting power in the same family. In our range, 17 plates is around 100 to 110Ah, 21 plates around 120 to 140Ah, 23 plates around 140 to 155Ah, 27 plates around 175 to 190Ah, 31 plates about 200Ah and 33 plates around 210 to 220Ah. Compare Ah and plates together, not one alone.

Generator and UPS use

Many heavy-duty batteries are also listed for generator sets. Phoenix XP heavy duty (110Ah to 215Ah), Exide N135 to N260 and AGS GX can start generators. Some people use them for UPS too, but a truck battery is built for starting power, not deep daily discharge. For backup, a deep cycle or tubular battery lasts longer. See UPS batteries (UPS Battery) and deep cycle batteries (Deep Cycle Battery).

Care and warranty

Heavy-duty batteries are flooded, so check the water level often in hot weather and top up with distilled water only. Keep terminals clean and tight, because vibration on rough roads loosens them. Warranty from our research: AGS GL and SP 6 months, Phoenix XP-200 and XP-250 12 months, Volta V 200 9 months, Daewoo AGRI 125 L 12 months. Other heavy-duty models have no warranty stated in our data, so ask before ordering. See how to check battery water (How to Check Battery Water and Top It Up Safely).

How to choose a heavy-duty battery

Start with the battery already in your vehicle. Note its code, Ah, plate count and terminal layout, then choose a battery with the same or slightly higher Ah in the same case size. Low-height tractors such as Ford need a low-height battery like the 6LT models. Buses and trucks with heavy electrical loads, such as air conditioning or extra lights, benefit from more Ah. For a generator, match the starting battery the generator maker asks for. If the vehicle sits idle for long periods, charge the battery every few weeks so it does not go flat.

N series codes: N100, N120, N150 and N200

N codes are common heavy-duty sizes. The number is a size code, not the Ah. In our range the Exide N100 is 70Ah with 11 plates, the Exide N135 100Ah, the N150 120Ah, the N200 140Ah with 21 plates, and the NS200 150Ah. Osaka's sealed MF N100, N120 and N150 SLI batteries are 100Ah, 120Ah and 150Ah. So two batteries with the same N code from different brands can differ in Ah and plates; compare those along with the terminal layout.

Maintenance-free truck and generator batteries

Most truck batteries are flooded and need water, but sealed options exist. Osaka's MF SLI range (MF 6x15, MF N100, N120 and N150) and the Volta VMF 250 (150Ah) need no water top-ups, which suits generator sets that stand for weeks and fleets that cannot check water often. Keep them charged and clamped firmly; deep discharge hurts a sealed battery more than a flooded one.

Generator batteries: which size you need

A generator battery only has to crank the engine, so a starting (SLI) battery is the right type. Small petrol generators of a few kVA often use a small motorcycle-style battery or a small 12V battery; diesel generators from about 10 kVA up use car or truck batteries of roughly 60Ah to 200Ah, and big sets use two in series for 24V starting. Match the old battery's voltage, Ah and terminal layout. Heavy-duty choices in our list include the AGS GX range, Osaka HT and MF N series, Exide N and Phoenix XP heavy duty.
