Truck battery Deta DG2254 StartPRO 225Ah 1,200A 12V

The Deta DG2254 truck battery is rated at 12 V, 225 Ah and 1,200 A of cold cranking current (EN) from the StartPRO range, and is prepared for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. Measuring 518 × 274 × 240 mm and the positive terminal on the right, it is the direct replacement for trucks fitted from the factory with a 225 Ah battery of this format.

In short: the Deta DG2254 (225 Ah, 1200 A, 518 × 274 × 240 mm, positive terminal on the right). Verified equivalent alternatives: Exide EG2254 and Tudor TG2254.

  • 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 DG2254 is for

The Deta DG2254 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 54.90 kg and B00 hold-down.

The Deta DG2254: StartPRO range and conventional lead-acid technology

The StartPRO is the Deta range the DG2254 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.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

It has external dimensions of 518 × 274 × 240 mm and weighs 54.90 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 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.

What Deta does differently

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.

Care and maintenance

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.

Official warranty

The Deta DG2254 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.

When you get it and how to return it

Order before 6:00 pm 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 14 days to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

Upgrade: AGM · +€384.80

It is the AGM of the same case: more cycles, more cranking and better resistance to power draw at standstill than the DG2254. Compared with the DG2254 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 DG2254 does the job and AGM adds service life.

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 long does the Deta DG2254 battery last?

There is no exact figure: for a battery such as the Deta DG2254 (conventional), a reasonable guide is 4 to 6 years in normal lorry use. Actual lifespan varies with climate (cold starts, heat evaporating the electrolyte), with usage and short journeys, with the condition of the alternator and charging system, with power draw while parked and with maintenance; the type of truck and Start-Stop also count.

What are the dimensions of the Deta DG2254 battery?

Length × width × height: 518x274x240 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals. Measure your truck's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close.

What polarity does the Deta DG2254 battery have?

It has the positive on the right (polarity). If your current battery has its positive on the other side, this one is not suitable without longer cables or a reconfigured system (short-circuit risk). Put it in front of you, terminals towards you: the post with the red ring and the + sign is the positive.

Is the DG2254 valid for my vehicle?

The quickest way is to enter your number plate in the finder: DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine. You can also look at the "Compatible vehicles" tab, verified by our technical team, or send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp; we answer during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). If our table and the truck handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says.

What are the equivalents of the DG2254 model?

See the "Equivalents" section of this page for the recommended options at the same performance level. Mind the technology: in Start-Stop trucks an EFB is not swapped for a conventional battery. Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the DG2254, 225 Ah (1200 A cranking).
