Deta DG2253 · Truck battery 12V 225Ah 1200A

Truck battery Deta DG2253 StartPRO 225Ah 1,200A 12V

The Deta DG2253 with conventional lead-acid technology delivers 225 Ah at 12 V and 1,200 A of cold cranking current (EN): what trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery demand. Measuring 518 × 274 × 240 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for trucks fitted from the factory with a 225 Ah battery of this format.

In short: the Deta DG2253 (225 Ah, 1200 A, 518 × 274 × 240 mm, positive terminal on the left). Verified equivalent alternatives: Varta N9 and Varta LFD230.

• Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.
• Resistant to constant chassis vibration.
• Powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops.
• Better tolerance to deep discharge than a conventional starter battery.

What the Deta DG2253 is for

Designed for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery, the Deta DG2253 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 54.90 kg and B00 hold-down.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

The Deta DG2253 is made in the 518 × 274 × 240 mm format and weighs 54.90 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.

The Deta DG2253: StartPRO range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Deta catalogue, the StartPRO series groups the references designed for this use. The DG2253 is the 225 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.

Deta: the maker behind the DG2253

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. All the Deta batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Deta DG2253 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.

How to make it last longer

On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. Keep the terminals clean and tight and the battery firmly secured against chassis vibration.
