In short: the Deta DJ1723 (172 Ah, 1390 A, 513 × 223 × 223 mm, positive terminal on the left). Verified equivalent alternatives: Varta M18 and Varta M12.

• 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.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

It has external dimensions of 513 × 223 × 223 mm and weighs 48.80 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. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

What the Deta DJ1723 is for

With 172 Ah, the Deta DJ1723 cranks large-displacement diesel engines in the cold and powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 48.80 kg and B00 hold-down.

The Deta DJ1723: PowerPRO y Construction range and conventional lead-acid technology

The DJ1723 is part of the Deta PowerPRO y Construction range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.

The conventional lead-acid battery remains the most widespread technology thanks to its balance of capacity, cranking current and price. Well maintained and kept charged, it offers years of reliable service in vehicles without Start-Stop.

Why choose Deta batteries

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. We guarantee that every Deta arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

Warranty and coverage

The Deta DJ1723 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. During rest stops with active loads, avoid repeated deep discharges: they shorten the life of any starter battery.

When you get it and how to return it

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.
