T5 Battery

Aliases: LB2 · LBN2 · 45LB · Standard family: DIN/EN (low height)

Direct answer: The T5 battery is a DIN/EN (low height)-family group — a 12V lead-acid case of 242 × 175 × 175 mm with SAE post terminals, typically 55–60 Ah and 540–580 cold cranking amps (EN 50342 (−18°C)).

Standards & measurement context

Naming standard	DIN/EN (low height)
CCA basis	EN 50342 (−18°C)

The CCA figure is defined by its test standard — values from different standards are not directly interchangeable. Capacity values are typical ranges, not a substitute for a specific battery's datasheet.

Applications

European compact cars
Low-tray applications

Technology variants

Flooded / EFB / AGM — see the lead-acid type family for the design trade-offs behind the label.

Equivalent capacity class

~55–65 Ah — other groups in a similar capacity class. This is a capacity comparison, not a physical interchange: dimensions and terminals differ between naming families.

Testing

Relevant methods for this group: CCA testing, capacity testing, load testing — see the testing methods for procedures and standards.
