Deta DC550 · Car battery 12V 55Ah 460A

Car battery Deta DC550 Standard 55Ah 460A 12V

The Deta DC550 from the Standard range delivers 55 Ah and 460 A of cold cranking current (EN) at 12 V: the usual specification for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. It measures 242 × 175 × 190 mm and the positive terminal on the right, the format sought by anyone replacing a 55 Ah battery in cars.

In short: the Deta DC550 (55 Ah, 460 A, 242 × 175 × 190 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 EC550 and Tudor TC550.

• Reliable cold starts, even after weeks without driving.
• Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.
• Original-equipment build quality without the dealership price.
• Direct replacement for the original battery in size and terminals.

What the Deta DC550 is for

Designed for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system, the Deta DC550 is the direct replacement when your vehicle uses a 55 Ah battery of this format. Before buying, compare dimensions, terminals and capacity with the battery you are replacing. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 13.30 kg and B13 hold-down.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

In terms of format, the Deta DC550 measures 242 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 13.30 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 B13 hold-down, 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.

The Deta DC550: Standard range and conventional lead-acid technology

The Standard is the Deta range the DC550 belongs to: it shares the same construction and quality criteria with the rest of the series, and varies in capacity and format to suit each vehicle.

Conventional lead-acid is the benchmark against which other technologies are compared: good cranking current, great tolerance to alternator charging and the best price per amp-hour.

How to make it last longer

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. On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water.

The Deta DC550 comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects; the exact period is stated in the brand's conditions. If it fails through a defect within the period, we replace it free of charge.
