## Description

## 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](https://bateriasonline.es/en/deta-batteries)

## Deta DB500 vs DA530, DB501 and DA472: which one to choose?

How the DB500 compares with Deta batteries of similar size and capacity:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deta DB500 (this one) | 50 Ah | 450 A | 207 × 175 × 190 | right | 12.1 kg |
| Deta DA530 | 53 Ah | 540 A | 207 × 175 × 190 | right | 12.7 kg |
| Deta DB501 | 50 Ah | 450 A | 207 × 175 × 190 | left | 12.2 kg |
| Deta DA472 | 47 Ah | 450 A | 207 × 175 × 175 | right | 11.4 kg |
| Deta DC440 | 44 Ah | 360 A | 207 × 175 × 190 | right | 11 kg |

- Deta DA530: 3 Ah more, 90 A more cranking power, the same L1 case.
- Deta DB501: identical to the DB500 except for the positive terminal, which is on the other side (positive terminal on the left).
- Deta DA472: 3 Ah less, the same cranking power, a different height (175 mm instead of 190 mm, LB1). It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 190 mm height of the DB500.
- Deta DC440: 6 Ah less, 90 A less cranking power, the same L1 case.

## 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.
