27.50*kg* Weight

The **Deta DF1202 truck battery** is rated at **12 V**, **120 Ah** and **870 A** of cold cranking current (EN) from the **PowerPRO** range, and is prepared for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. It measures 349 × 175 × 235 mm and the positive terminal on the right, the format sought by anyone replacing a 120 Ah battery in trucks.
- Heavy Duty construction for intensive professional use.
- Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.
- Designed for 24 V installations with two batteries in series.
- Powerful cold cranking for large-displacement diesel engines.

### What the Deta DF1202 is for

The Deta DF1202 is designed for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. In 24 V installations with two batteries in series, replace both at the same time to avoid imbalance. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 27.50 kg, 1 terminals and B01 hold-down.

### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Deta DF1202

The Deta DF1202 is made in the 349 × 175 × 235 mm format and weighs 27.50 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 1 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. We guarantee that every Deta arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

### The Deta DF1202: PowerPRO range and conventional lead-acid technology

The **PowerPRO** is the Deta range the DF1202 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.
In a conventional battery the electrolyte is liquid and the lead plates are immersed in it. It is a mature, economical and easily recycled technology, ideal for starting vehicles in normal use.

### How to make it last longer

During rest stops with active loads, avoid repeated deep discharges: they shorten the life of any starter battery. On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water.

### Manufacturer's warranty

The Deta DF1202 comes with the **manufacturer's official warranty** against manufacturing defects. An important note for commercial vehicles: most trucks use **two batteries connected in series** (24 V installation). If you replace only one, the new battery works alongside the old one, which has already lost capacity; that imbalance shortens its life and the manufacturer may treat it as misuse. Always replace **both at the same time**.

### Delivery times 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 DF1202 model in my truck?

In most trucks 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 this page. 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 (−) 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 — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On trucks with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.

### What is the service life of the DF1202 model?

Expected lifespan of the Deta DF1202 is 4 to 6 years in regular truck 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 DF1202 battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 349×175×235 mm — also written as 349x175x235 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your truck before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.

### Will the Deta DF1202 battery fit my truck?

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 — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The DF1202 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.

### What are the equivalents of the DF1202 model?

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 — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop trucks. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
