Where the Deta DB500 fits

The Deta DB500 is a starter battery for cars without Start-Stop: it delivers the current the starter motor needs and then powers lights, control units and audio with the engine off. The DB500 covers the daily routine of a car without automatic engine stop: cold starts, short trips and loads with the ignition off.

At 50 Ah it covers petrol compacts and small diesels, the best-selling format in Europe. The DB500 belongs to the Deta DETA Power range. More Deta batteries

What it means that the DB500 is lead-acid

The DB500 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. In cars without energy management, the DB500 needs no special registration: just connect it.

What to look at before buying the DB500

  • If your car has Start-Stop, the DB500 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
  • Cold cranking: 450 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
  • Your current battery should say about 50 Ah; a little more is also fine.
  • With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the DB500 is on the right.
  • The DB500 needs 207 × 175 × 190 mm of space (European case size L1): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
