Vibration-resistant, withstands long cold-diesel cranks and deep discharges during parking with active loads (tachograph, refrigeration, heater). ### 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 100 Ah C20 πŸ”‹ Cold cranking 680 A EN-1 πŸ“ Dimensions 413Γ—175Γ—220 mm βš™οΈ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the right βš–οΈ Weight 25,6 kg 🏷️ Model DETA StartPRO ## Description ## Truck battery Deta DG1008 StartPRO 100Ah 680A 12V 12*V* Voltage 100*Ah* Capacity 680*A* Cold cranking 25.60*kg* Weight With **100 Ah** and **680 A** of cold cranking current (EN), the **Deta DG1008** from the **StartPRO** range is built for professional use in trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. It measures 413 Γ— 175 Γ— 220 mm and the positive terminal on the right, the format sought by anyone replacing a 100 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 DG1008 is for Designed for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery, the Deta DG1008 withstands constant chassis vibration and discharges during stops with active loads. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 25.60 kg, 1 terminals and B03 hold-down. ### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Deta DG1008 It has external dimensions of 413 Γ— 175 Γ— 220 mm and weighs 25.60 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 B03 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 combines German engineering with Exide's industrial capacity. Its Power, Senator and PowerPRO series cover everything from urban cars to construction machinery. All the Deta batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty. ### The Deta DG1008: StartPRO range and conventional lead-acid technology The **StartPRO** is the Deta range the DG1008 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. ### Usage and maintenance tips In 24 V installations, check periodically that both batteries show the same voltage; an imbalance means one is failing. During rest stops with active loads, avoid repeated deep discharges: they shorten the life of any starter battery. ### Manufacturer's warranty The Deta DG1008 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 Order **before [[ks:cutoff]]** with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have **[[ks:return_days]] days** to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I fit the DG1008 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 (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€” 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 DG1008 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Deta DG1008 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 DG1008 battery? Dimensions (length Γ— width Γ— height) are 413Γ—175Γ—220 mm β€” also written as 413x175x220 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. ### Is the DG1008 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 DG1008 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one? 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 - [TUDOR TG1008](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tg1008-100ah-680a) - [EXIDE EG1008](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-eg1008-12v-100ah-680a) - [VARTA I6](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-i6-12v-110ah-850a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team β€” over 25 years of experience validating automotive batteries. β†’ https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com β€” Automotive batteries Β· 2026-10-01*
