Measuring 513 × 223 × 223 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for trucks fitted from the factory with a 172 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. ### 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. Returns are accepted for **14 days** if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the service life of the DJ1723 model? There is no exact figure: for a battery such as the Deta DJ1723 (conventional), a reasonable guide is 4 to 6 years in normal lorry use. It can vary considerably with usage (short or long journeys), temperature, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, plus the truck itself and Start-Stop. Cold demands more at every start and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte. ### What are the dimensions of the Deta DJ1723 battery? Check the room available in your truck, because a single millimetre too much can stop the clamp from closing. Its dimensions are 513×223×223 mm, also written 513x223x223 mm; the height already includes the terminals. ### What polarity does the Deta DJ1723 battery have? It has the positive on the left (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. ### Does this battery fit my truck? Not sure? Try your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine) or the "Compatible vehicles" tab, checked by our technical team; if your truck is not there, send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp and we will reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). Always cross-check with what the truck manufacturer states in the owner's handbook. ### What are the equivalents of the DJ1723 model? Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the DJ1723, 172 Ah (1390 A cranking). Technology matters too: in Start-Stop trucks, an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery. The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page. ### Deta DJ1723 or Varta M12: which one to choose? It is the verified Varta equivalent for the DJ1723 tray. Compared with the DJ1723 it has 8 Ah more and 10 A of cold cranking more. It costs €179.40 more. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same. ### Deta DJ1723 or Varta M18: which one to choose? Same case and same fitting as the DJ1723, from Varta. Compared with the DJ1723 it has 8 Ah more and 390 A of cold cranking less. It costs €182.20 more. If you want to save or the DJ1723 is out of stock, it is the safe alternative: same dimensions, same polarity and official warranty. ## Equivalent batteries - [VARTA M18](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-m18-12v-180ah-1000a) - [VARTA M12](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-m12-12v-180ah-1400a) - [VARTA B90](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-b90-efb-12v-190ah-1050a) - [TUDOR TX1803](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tx1803-180ah-1000a) - [TUDOR TJ1723](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tj1723-12v-172ah-1390a) - [TUDOR TF1853](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tf1853-185ah-1150a) ## 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*
