Withstands constant chassis vibration, supports long cold-engine cranks and keeps auxiliary services running (tachograph, heater, refrigeration, GPS) during driver's mandatory rest stops. ## Why this truck battery? - **True Heavy Duty** built for intensive professional use - **Long cold-diesel cranks** reliable even in extreme cold - **Powers services at idle** tachograph, heater and lights with engine off πŸ”Œ Voltage 12 V ⚑ Capacity 185 Ah C20 πŸ”‹ Cold cranking 1150 A EN-1 πŸ“ Dimensions 513Γ—223Γ—223 mm βš™οΈ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left βš–οΈ Weight 43,9 kg 🏷️ Model DETA Power Pro (HDX) ## Description ## Truck battery Deta DF1853 PowerPRO 185Ah 1,150A 12V 12*V* Voltage 185*Ah* Capacity 1,150*A* Cold cranking 43.90*kg* Weight The **Deta DF1853 truck battery** is rated at **12 V**, **185 Ah** and **1,150 A** of cold cranking current (EN) from the **PowerPRO** range, and is prepared for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. It measures 513 Γ— 223 Γ— 223 mm and the positive terminal on the left, the format sought by anyone replacing a 185 Ah battery in trucks. - Designed for 24 V installations with two batteries in series. - Powerful cold cranking for large-displacement diesel engines. - Heavy Duty construction for intensive professional use. - Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology. ### What the Deta DF1853 is for With 185 Ah, the Deta DF1853 cranks large-displacement diesel engines in the cold and powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 43.90 kg and B00 hold-down. ### The Deta DF1853: PowerPRO range and conventional lead-acid technology The **PowerPRO** is the Deta range the DF1853 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. ### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Deta DF1853 The Deta DF1853 is made in the 513 Γ— 223 Γ— 223 mm format and weighs 43.90 kg. The positive terminal on the left 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 B00 hold-down, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change. ### Why choose Deta batteries Deta combines German engineering with Exide's industrial capacity. Its Power, Senator and PowerPRO series cover everything from urban cars to construction machinery. 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 Keep the terminals clean and tight and the battery firmly secured against chassis vibration. On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. ### Official warranty The Deta DF1853 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**. ### Shipping, delivery and returns Orders placed **before [[ks:cutoff]]** with the battery in stock ship the same day. 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. You have **[[ks:return_days]] days** to return an unused battery; in mainland Spain and Portugal collection is free. We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I fit the DF1853 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 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 left match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (βˆ’). On trucks with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How long does the Deta DF1853 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Deta DF1853 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 DF1853 battery? Dimensions (length Γ— width Γ— height) are 513Γ—223Γ—223 mm β€” also written as 513x223x223 mm β€” 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. ### What polarity does the Deta DF1853 battery have? Polarity: positive on the left. 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. ### Will the Deta DF1853 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 β€” we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The DF1853 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### What are the equivalents of the DF1853 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 β€” 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. ## Equivalent batteries - [VARTA B90](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-b90-efb-12v-190ah-1050a) - [TUDOR TF1853](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tf1853-185ah-1150a) - [TUDOR TE1853](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-te1853-185ah-1100a) - [VARTA LED190](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-led190-12v-190ah-1050a) - [EXIDE EE1853](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ee1853-12v-185ah-1100a) - [EXIDE EF1853](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ef1853-12v-185ah-1150a) ## 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· 2026-10-22*
