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 140 Ah C20 πŸ”‹ Cold cranking 800 A EN-1 πŸ“ Dimensions 513Γ—189Γ—223 mm βš™οΈ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left βš–οΈ Weight 34,1 kg 🏷️ Model DETA StartPRO ## Description ## Truck battery Deta DG1403 StartPRO 140Ah 800A 12V 12*V* Voltage 140*Ah* Capacity 800*A* Cold cranking 34.10*kg* Weight With **140 Ah** and **800 A** of cold cranking current (EN), the **Deta DG1403** from the **StartPRO** range is built for professional use in trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. Measuring 513 Γ— 189 Γ— 223 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for trucks fitted from the factory with a 140 Ah battery of this format. - Powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops. - Better tolerance to deep discharge than a conventional starter battery. - Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price. - Resistant to constant chassis vibration. ### What the Deta DG1403 is for The Deta DG1403 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 34.10 kg and B00 hold-down. ### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Deta DG1403 It has external dimensions of 513 Γ— 189 Γ— 223 mm and weighs 34.10 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. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery. ### The Deta DG1403: StartPRO range and conventional lead-acid technology Within the Deta catalogue, the **StartPRO** series groups the references designed for this use. The DG1403 is the 140 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes. 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. ### What Deta does differently 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. ### Warranty and coverage The Deta DG1403 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**. ### Care and maintenance On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. In 24 V installations, check periodically that both batteries show the same voltage; an imbalance means one is failing. ### Delivery times and returns Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed **before 6:00 pm**: 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 **14 days** if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email. ## Frequently asked questions ### How is the Deta DG1403 battery installed in the vehicle? 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. ### What is the service life of the DG1403 model? Expected lifespan of the Deta DG1403 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 DG1403 battery? Dimensions (length Γ— width Γ— height) are 513Γ—189Γ—223 mm β€” also written as 513x189x223 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 DG1403 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. ### Is the DG1403 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 DG1403 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Deta DG1403? 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 M11](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-m11-12v-154ah-1150a) - [VARTA LFD140](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-lfd140-12v-140ah-800a) - [VARTA K7](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-k7-12v-145ah-800a) - [TUDOR TF1453](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tf1453-145ah-900a) - [TUDOR TE1403](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-te1403-140ah-800a) - [EXIDE EE1403](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ee1403-12v-140ah-800a) ## 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· 2026-10-28*
