It measures 242 × 175 × 190 mm and the positive terminal on the right, the format sought by anyone replacing a 60 Ah battery in Start-Stop cars. - Withstands hundreds of starts a day without degrading. - AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle. - Up to three times the cycles of a conventional battery. - Compatible with regenerative braking and energy management (BMS). ### What the Deta DK600 is for In Start-Stop cars the battery works far harder than in a conventional car; the Deta DK600 is built for that intensive cycling and to recharge quickly on the move. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 17.90 kg, 1 terminals and B13 hold-down. ### Technology inside the Deta DK600 Deta builds the DK600 to the same standards as the rest of its catalogue; what changes between references is capacity, format and terminal position. In an AGM battery the electrolyte is absorbed in glass-fibre separators: there is no free liquid, it cannot spill and it can be mounted at an angle. That construction lowers internal resistance, speeds up recharging and multiplies cycle life compared with a conventional battery. ### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Deta DK600 It has external dimensions of 242 × 175 × 190 mm and weighs 17.90 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 B13 hold-down and 1 terminals, 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. ### Why choose Deta batteries Deta combines German engineering with Exide's industrial capacity. Its Power, Senator and PowerPRO series cover everything from urban cars to construction machinery. All the Deta batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty. ### Care and maintenance In a Start-Stop car the battery is controlled by the ECU; after replacing it, the new battery may need to be registered so the system adjusts charging. Do not mix technologies: a conventional battery in a Start-Stop car degrades within months. ### Official warranty The Deta DK600 comes with the **manufacturer's official warranty**. To keep it valid, always fit the same technology as the original battery (AGM or EFB) and register the replacement if your vehicle requires it. ### Shipping, delivery and returns 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. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Deta DK600 an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM? Yes: the DK600 from Deta uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, a sealed lead-acid battery whose electrolyte soaks a glass-fibre mat. It tolerates heat better and handles more cycles than a conventional battery, which is why it is the required technology with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. ### Is the DK600 model suitable for Start-Stop cars? AGM batteries support advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking thanks to their higher cycle count. The Deta DK600 is AGM, so yes, it is designed for Start-Stop cars. Once fitted it is ready to go; registering it via OBD, advisable on most modern models, lets the alternator charge with the optimum profile. As a rule: EFB for basic Start-Stop, AGM when there is also regenerative braking (more cycles); in any case, what the car manufacturer specifies. ### What should I bear in mind when fitting this Start-Stop battery? If the car has Start-Stop or BMS: a) the technology must match the original (AGM or EFB) or be higher, because a conventional battery would fail within months; b) undo the negative cable at its nut, leaving the IBS sensor in place; c) it is advisable to register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the proper charging profile. On most cars it is a 15-30 minute job needing only a 10 mm spanner (up to twice as long when the battery is under a seat or in the boot). Steps: 1) switch off and remove the key; 2) find the battery (bonnet, boot or under a seat); 3) undo the negative (−), then the positive (+); 4) remove the clamp and the old battery; 5) fit the new one facing the same way (positive on the right) to match the polarity; 6) connect the positive (+) and finally the negative (−). Before you start, check the car handbook: the manufacturer's procedure always comes first. Our full step-by-step guide is on the blog. ### What is the service life of the DK600 model? As a rough estimate, the Deta DK600 typically lasts 5 to 8 years in mild-climate car use with Start-Stop; 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 car and whether it has Start-Stop. ### What are the dimensions of the Deta DK600 battery? Measure your car's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close. Length × width × height: 242x175x190 mm (L2 case). Height is measured to the top of the terminals. Hold-down: B13. ### On which side is the positive of the DK600 model? Polarity of the Deta DK600: positive on the right. Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring. A change of polarity from the original means longer cables or a reconfigured system and can cause a short circuit: check it before ordering. ### Will the Deta DK600 battery fit my car? The DK600 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. 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)). If our table and the car handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Deta DK600? To replace the Deta DK600 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size (L2 case), polarity, Ah and CCA. Not just any technology will do: an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop cars. The "Equivalents" section further down lists the recommended alternatives. ### Deta DK600 or Varta A8: which one to choose? Same case and same fitting as the DK600, from Varta. Compared with the DK600 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs €107.40 more. If you want to save or the DK600 is out of stock, it is the safe alternative: same dimensions, same polarity and official warranty. ### Deta DK600 or Exide EK600: which one to choose? The Exide alternative that fits where the DK600 goes, with the same polarity. Compared with the DK600 it has 2 Ah more. It costs €93.30 more. A straight swap with nothing to adapt; the difference is the price and the brand you prefer. ### Why choose AGM instead of EFB for my Start-Stop car? Hence it is recommended for advanced Start-Stop with regenerative braking, such as BMW EfficientDynamics, Mercedes Eco, Audi MHEV, Land Rover ECO or Volvo i-Stop, and it handles tilting, vibration and extreme temperatures better than an EFB. Many more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional battery and no leaks: that is what AGM technology brings, with the electrolyte absorbed in glass fibre. This DK600 delivers 680 A cold cranking (EN). ### Do I need to register the Deta DK600 on the car after installation? On most cars it is not strictly necessary: the alternator detects the new battery and adapts the charge by itself. It is advisable, though, to register it via OBD so the optimum profile applies from the first minute and the battery lasts as long as possible, especially on brands with sophisticated BMS (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Land Rover). Without registration there is no starting problem: the alternator adjusts the profile within a few days. To do it yourself: VCDS or Carista on VAG, Bimmercode on BMW, iCarsoft. At a workshop with an OBD scanner it takes minutes. ## Equivalent batteries - [VARTA D52](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-d52-agm-12v-60ah-680a) - [TUDOR TK600](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tk600-60ah-680a) - [VARTA LA60](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-la60-12v-60ah-680a) - [EXIDE EK600](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ek600-12v-60ah-680a) - [EXIDE EP500](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ep500-12v-60ah-680a) - [VARTA A8](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-a8-agm-12v-60ah-680a) ## 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 · 2026-11-06*
