Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 46.10 kg and B00 hold-down. ### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Deta DX1803 In terms of format, the Deta DX1803 measures 513 × 223 × 223 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 46.10 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. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery. ### The Deta DX1803: EndurancePRO EFB range and EFB technology The DX1803 is part of the Deta **EndurancePRO EFB** range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family. 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. ### What Deta does differently 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. All the Deta batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty. ### Official warranty The Deta DX1803 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**. ### How to make it last longer A charger with an EFB or smart conventional mode is enough; avoid the high-voltage modes intended for AGM. Keep the terminals clean and tight and the battery firmly secured against chassis vibration. ### Delivery times and returns 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 ### Is the Deta DX1803 an EFB battery? When is EFB used? Yes. The Deta DX1803 uses EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) technology, that is, flooded lead-acid with plates reinforced by additives. It goes into trucks with basic Start-Stop (no energy recovery when braking): more cycles than a conventional battery, fewer than an AGM, and cheaper than an equivalent AGM. ### Is this battery compatible with Start-Stop systems? Yes. It is a EFB battery of 180 Ah, designed for vehicles with Start-Stop. EFB batteries cover basic Start-Stop (no regenerative braking). Once fitted it is ready to go; registering it via OBD, advisable on most modern models, lets the alternator charge with the optimum profile. The general recommendation is EFB for basic Start-Stop and AGM where there is regenerative braking (it handles more cycles), unless the truck manufacturer says otherwise. ### Why does my lorry have two batteries? Most lorries, buses and tractors run on 24 V with two 12 V batteries connected in series. Always replace both at the same time and with the same model: if one is new and the other old, they become unbalanced and both last less. ### How long does the Deta DX1803 battery last? Estimated lifespan of the Deta DX1803: 5 to 7 years in lorry use, even with high power draw while parked. Treat it as an approximate guide, as every case is different. 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 truck and whether it has Start-Stop. ### What are the dimensions of the Deta DX1803 battery? Before buying, measure the space in your truck: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing. The Deta DX1803 takes up 513×223×223 mm (length, width and height, terminals included). ### On which side is the positive of the DX1803 model? The DX1803 has the positive on the left: that is its polarity. Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on. 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 DX1803 battery fit my truck? 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)). The truck manufacturer's specifications always take priority over our tables. The DX1803 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Deta DX1803? To replace the Deta DX1803 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size, polarity, Ah and CCA. See the "Equivalents" section of this page for the recommended options at the same performance level. Mind the technology: in Start-Stop trucks an EFB is not swapped for a conventional battery. ### Deta DX1803 or Varta B90: which one to choose? It is the verified Varta equivalent for the DX1803 tray. Compared with the DX1803 it has 10 Ah more and 50 A of cold cranking more. It costs €209.60 more. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same. ### Deta DX1803 or Varta LED190: which one to choose? Same case and same fitting as the DX1803, from Varta. Compared with the DX1803 it has 10 Ah more and 50 A of cold cranking more. It costs €221.20 more. If you want to save or the DX1803 is out of stock, it is the safe alternative: same dimensions, same polarity and official warranty. ### What exactly is an EFB battery like the Deta DX1803? The EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) is a reinforced flooded battery: plates with carbon and polyethylene additives and thicker grids, giving it more cycles than a conventional one; for cycles and deep discharges it still sits below an AGM. It is fitted as standard to trucks with basic Start-Stop, without regenerative braking: Renault Energy TCe, Peugeot/Citroën PureTech, Fiat MultiAir, Hyundai/Kia ISG or Ford EcoBoost. If your truck 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. ### Do I need to register the Deta DX1803 on the truck after installation? Advisable, yes; essential, on most trucks, no. Registering it via OBD makes the alternator charge with the optimum profile from the first minute and extends battery life, which matters most on brands with sophisticated BMS such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo or Land Rover. A workshop only needs an OBD scanner and a few minutes. DIY apps: VCDS / Carista (VAG), Bimmercode (BMW), iCarsoft. Even if you do not register the Deta DX1803, the truck will start correctly; the profile adjusts within a few days. ## Equivalent batteries - [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 TE1853](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-te1853-185ah-1100a) - [VARTA LED190](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-led190-12v-190ah-1050a) - [EXIDE EE1853](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ee1853-12v-185ah-1100a) - [EXIDE EX1803](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ex1803-12v-180ah-1000a) ## 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*
