The Deta DA406 in practice

When not to choose it

If your car shuts the engine off at the lights, rule it out: Start-Stop demands EFB or AGM and a conventional battery lasts months in that duty. And never choose fewer Ah or A than the original.

The Deta DA406 car battery is rated at 12 V, 40 Ah and 350 A of cold cranking current (EN) from the Senator3 range, and is designed for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. Measuring 187 × 127 × 220 mm and the positive terminal on the right, it is the direct replacement for cars fitted from the factory with a 40 Ah battery of this format.

In short: the Deta DA406 (40 Ah, 350 A, 187 × 127 × 220 mm, positive terminal on the right). It is a conventional battery for cars without Start-Stop: if yours has Start-Stop, it needs an EFB or AGM battery of the same size. Verified equivalent alternatives: Exide EA406 and Tudor TA406.

  • Low self-discharge: copes with long stops without losing charge.
  • Designed to last several years under normal daily use.
  • Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.
  • Stable voltage for the vehicle electronics (ECU, sensors, climate control).

What the Deta DA406 is for

The Deta DA406 covers the needs of passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system: reliable starting, stable voltage for the electronics and a service life of several years in daily use. Check that it matches your current battery in size and terminal position. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 9.30 kg, 3 terminals and B01 hold-down.

The Deta DA406: Senator3 range and conventional lead-acid technology

The DA406 is part of the Deta Senator3 range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.

The conventional lead-acid battery remains the most widespread technology thanks to its balance of capacity, cranking current and price. Well maintained and kept charged, it offers years of reliable service in vehicles without Start-Stop.

Size, terminals and hold-down of the Deta DA406

The Deta DA406 is made in the 187 × 127 × 220 mm format and weighs 9.30 kg. The positive terminal on the right decides which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes most buying mistakes, so check it before ordering. It uses a B01 hold-down and 3 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

Why choose Deta batteries

Deta is the German brand of the Exide group: batteries built with original-equipment technology and a very complete range for cars, Start-Stop, trucks, motorcycles and leisure. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.

How to make it last longer

On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. Keep the terminals clean and tight, and check that the resting voltage does not drop below 12.4 V: below that it is time to recharge.

Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change this battery step by step?

Tool: a 10 mm spanner. Time: 15-30 minutes on almost every car, and up to double if the battery is not under the bonnet but in the boot or under a seat. With the engine stopped and the key removed, always start with the negative (−) terminal, then the positive (+). Free the clamp, swap the battery without turning it round (this one has positive on the right) so the polarity stays the same, and reconnect in reverse: positive (+) first, negative (−) last. For the detail, read our guide to replacing the car battery and, if in doubt, the owner's handbook or a main dealer.

How many years does this battery last?

Estimated lifespan of the Deta DA406: 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop. Treat it as an approximate guide, as every case is different. It can vary considerably with usage (short or long journeys), temperature, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, plus the car itself and Start-Stop. Cold demands more at every start and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte.

What are the dimensions of the Deta DA406 battery?

Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close. It measures 187×127×220 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height.

Which side is the positive terminal on this battery?

The DA406 has the positive on the right: that is its polarity. Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on. A change of polarity from the original means longer cables or a reconfigured system and can cause a short circuit: check it before ordering.

Will the Deta DA406 battery fit my car?

Not sure? Try your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine) or the "Compatible vehicles" tab, checked by our technical team; if your car is not there, send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp and we will reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). In every case, the car manufacturer's specifications (owner's handbook) take precedence.

Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?

A battery interchangeable with the Deta DA406 must match it on dimensions (187×127×220 mm), polarity (positive on the right), capacity (40 Ah) and cranking current (350 A). Technology matters too: in Start-Stop cars, an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery. The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page.
