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 225 Ah C20 πŸ”‹ Cold cranking 1200 A EN-1 πŸ“ Dimensions 518Γ—274Γ—240 mm βš™οΈ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the right βš–οΈ Weight 54,9 kg 🏷️ Model DETA StartPRO ## Description ## Truck battery Deta DG2254 StartPRO 225Ah 1,200A 12V 12*V* Voltage 225*Ah* Capacity 1,200*A* Cold cranking 54.90*kg* Weight 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 Γ— 274 Γ— 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. - 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 Γ— 274 Γ— 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 [[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 DG2254 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 DG2254 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Deta DG2254 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 DG2254 battery? Dimensions (length Γ— width Γ— height) are 518Γ—274Γ—240 mm β€” also written as 518x274x240 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 DG2254 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 DG2254 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### What are the equivalents of the DG2254 model? 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 - [EXIDE EG2254](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-eg2254-12v-225ah-1200a) - [TUDOR TG2254](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tg2254-12v-225ah-1200a) ## 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· 2026-10-05*
