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 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 225 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 1200 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 518×274×240 mm ⚙️ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left ⚖️ Weight 54,9 kg 🏷️ Model DETA StartPRO ## Description ## Truck battery Deta DG2253 StartPRO 225Ah 1,200A 12V 12*V* Voltage 225*Ah* Capacity 1,200*A* Cold cranking 54.90*kg* Weight 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. - 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. ### Delivery times and returns Orders placed **before 6:00 pm** 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 **14 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 ### Why does my lorry have two batteries? Most lorries, buses and tractors run on 24 V with two 12 V batteries connected in series. Always replace both at the same time and with the same model: if one is new and the other old, they become unbalanced and both last less. ### How many years does this battery last? As a rough estimate, the Deta DG2253 typically lasts 4 to 6 years in normal lorry use; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. Many factors play a part: how it is used (lots of short trips, for example), temperature (cold makes every start harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, as well as the type of truck and whether it has Start-Stop. ### What are the measurements of the DG2253 model? Its dimensions are 518×274×240 mm, also written 518x274x240 mm; the height already includes the terminals. Check the room available in your truck, because a single millimetre too much can stop the clamp from closing. ### Which side is the positive terminal on this battery? Polarity of the Deta DG2253: positive on the left. It must match your current battery: reversed polarity means lengthening cables or reconfiguring the system, with a risk of short circuit. Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring. ### Will the Deta DG2253 battery fit my truck? For your own vehicle: type your number plate into the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA identify model and engine), check the "Compatible vehicles" tab below, listing vehicles verified by our technical team, or message us on WhatsApp with make, model, engine and year; we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The DG2253 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. Always cross-check with what the truck manufacturer states in the owner's handbook. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Deta DG2253? Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the DG2253, 225 Ah (1200 A cranking). Not just any technology will do: an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop trucks. The "Equivalents" section further down lists the recommended alternatives. ### Deta DG2253 or Exide EP2100: which one to choose? It is the AGM of the same case: more cycles, more cranking and better resistance to power draw at standstill than the DG2253. Compared with the DG2253 it has 15 Ah more. It costs €384.80 more. Essential if the vehicle requires AGM from the factory or draws a lot with the engine off; in conventional use the DG2253 does the job and AGM adds service life. ### Deta DG2253 or Varta N9: which one to choose? Same case and same fitting as the DG2253, from Varta. Compared with the DG2253 it has 50 A of cold cranking less. It costs €231.95 more. If you want to save or the DG2253 is out of stock, it is the safe alternative: same dimensions, same polarity and official warranty. ## Equivalent batteries - [VARTA N9](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-n9-12v-225ah-1150a) - [VARTA LFD230](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-lfd230-12v-230ah-1050a) - [VARTA C40](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-c40-efb-12v-240ah-1200a) - [TUDOR TX2253](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tx2253-225ah-1100a) - [TUDOR TF2353](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tf2353-235ah-1300a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — automotive battery specialists since 2012. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-11-07*
