### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Deta DL604

The Deta DL604 is made in the 230 × 173 × 222 mm format and weighs 15.80 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. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change.

### What the Deta DL604 is for

The Deta DL604 is designed for cars with Start-Stop, regenerative braking and heavy electrical loads. If your car was fitted with an AGM or EFB battery, always replace it with the same technology: a conventional model would degrade within months. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 15.80 kg and B00 hold-down.

### Technology inside the Deta DL604

Within the Deta catalogue, the DL604 is the 60 Ah model designed for this application.
EFB combines the robustness of the flooded battery with improved plates and separators. The result is a clearly longer service life in vehicles that start and stop constantly.

### 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. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.

### Warranty and coverage

The Deta DL604 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.

### Care and maintenance

Do not mix technologies: a conventional battery in a Start-Stop car degrades within months. 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.

### 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 DL604 model EFB? Which cars need it?

Yes, it is EFB: a flooded lead-acid battery whose plates carry reinforcing additives (what is an EFB). More affordable than an equivalent AGM and with more cycles than a conventional battery (though fewer than AGM), it is what cars with basic Start-Stop use, without regenerative braking.

### Is the DL604 model suitable for Start-Stop cars?

Yes, the EFB technology of the DL604 is built for Start-Stop. EFB batteries cover basic Start-Stop (no regenerative braking). If the car recovers energy when braking, AGM is recommended for its higher cycle count; for basic Start-Stop, EFB. The manufacturer's specification comes first. It works once fitted; on most modern cars, registering it via OBD is advisable so the alternator applies the optimum charging profile.

### How is the Deta DL604 battery fitted in a Start-Stop car?

Tool: a 10 mm spanner. Time: 15-30 minutes on almost every car, and up to double if the battery is not under the bonnet but in the boot or under a seat. 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. What matters most is the terminal order: removing, negative (−) before positive (+); refitting, positive (+) before negative (−). In between, with the engine off and the key out, release the clamp and fit the new battery the same way round as the original, positive on the right (polarity). Before you start, check the car handbook: the manufacturer's procedure always comes first. Our full step-by-step guide is on the blog.

### How long does the Deta DL604 battery last?

There is no exact figure: for a battery such as the Deta DL604 (EFB), a reasonable guide is 4 to 6 years in basic Start-Stop car 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 car itself and Start-Stop. Cold demands more at every start and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte.

### What are the dimensions of the Deta DL604 battery?

Length × width × height: 230x173x222 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals. Measure your car'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 DL604 battery have?

It has the positive on the right (polarity). Put it in front of you, terminals towards you: the post with the red ring and the + sign is the positive. Compare it with the battery you are replacing: if it does not match, cables must be lengthened or the system reconfigured, with a risk of short circuit.

### Is the DL604 valid for my vehicle?

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 car 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)). If our table and the car handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says.

### Which batteries are equivalent to the Deta DL604?

To replace the Deta DL604 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size, polarity, Ah and CCA. Technology matters too: in Start-Stop cars, an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery. The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page.

### Deta DL604 or Varta N65: which one to choose?

It is the verified Varta equivalent for the DL604 tray. Compared with the DL604 it has 5 Ah more and 130 A of cold cranking more. It costs €110.80 more. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same.

### Deta DL604 or Tudor TL604: which one to choose?

It is the verified Tudor equivalent for the DL604 tray. Compared with the DL604 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs €86.80 more. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same.

### What exactly is an EFB battery like the Deta DL604?

Thicker grids plus carbon and polyethylene additives in the plates: that is what sets an EFB apart from a conventional flooded battery. The result is more cycles and more resistance to deep discharges, without reaching AGM level. It is fitted as standard to cars with basic Start-Stop, without regenerative braking: Renault Energy TCe, Peugeot/Citroën PureTech, Fiat MultiAir, Hyundai/Kia ISG or Ford EcoBoost. If your car left the factory with an EFB, that is the right technology and moving to AGM is optional (a marginal improvement); if it had an AGM, an EFB would fall short.

### Is there anything to do after replacing a Start-Stop battery?

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). To do it yourself: VCDS or Carista on VAG, Bimmercode on BMW, iCarsoft. At a workshop with an OBD scanner it takes minutes. Even if you do not register the Deta DL604, the car will start correctly; the profile adjusts within a few days.
