It measures 242 Γ— 175 Γ— 190 mm and the positive terminal on the right, the format sought by anyone replacing a 55 Ah battery in cars. - 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 Γ— 175 Γ— 190 mm (length Γ— width Γ— 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. ### Official warranty 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. ### Shipping, delivery and returns Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed **before [[ks:cutoff]]**: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for **[[ks:return_days]] days** if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I fit the DC550 model in my car? In most cars it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on our blog. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (βˆ’) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation β€” with positive on the right match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (βˆ’). On cars with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How long does the Deta DC550 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Deta DC550 is 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured. ### What are the dimensions of the Deta DC550 battery? Dimensions (length Γ— width Γ— height) are 242Γ—175Γ—190 mm β€” also written as 242x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L2 case size β€” following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your car before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals. ### What polarity does the Deta DC550 battery have? Polarity: positive on the right. To identify it, place the battery in front of you with the terminals facing you and check which side the positive (+, marked with a red ring) is on. Before buying, verify the polarity matches your current battery: switching polarity forces longer cables or system reconfiguration, with short-circuit risk. ### Is the DC550 valid for my vehicle? Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year β€” we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The DC550 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Deta DC550? Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology β€” an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop cars. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level. ## Equivalent batteries - [EXIDE EC550](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ec550-12v-55ah-460a) - [TUDOR TC550](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tc550-12v-55ah-460a) - [TUDOR TA640](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-ta640-64ah-640a) - [TUDOR TB620](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tb620-62ah-540a) - [VARTA C14](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-c14-12v-56ah-480a) - [VARTA D15](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-d15-12v-63ah-610a) - [VARTA D24](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-d24-12v-60ah-540a) - [EXIDE EA640](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ea640-12v-64ah-640a) - [EXIDE EB620](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-eb620-12v-62ah-540a) - [VARTA N60](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-n60-12v-60ah-640a) - [VARTA LFS60](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-lfs60-12v-60ah-540a) - [VARTA D52](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-d52-agm-12v-60ah-680a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team β€” automotive battery specialists since 2012. β†’ https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com β€” Automotive batteries Β· 2026-10-23*
