## Description

## The Deta DB604 at a glance

The Deta DB604 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. Its job is to start the engine in the cold with margin to spare and keep the car's electronics powered.
At 60 Ah it covers petrol compacts and small diesels, the best-selling format in Europe. The DB604 belongs to the Deta DETA Power range. [See all Deta batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/deta-batteries)

## What to look at before buying the DB604

- Measure the space: the DB604 takes up 230 × 173 × 222 mm (European case size D23).
- Polarity of the DB604: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Your current battery should say about 60 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 480 A or less, the DB604 covers your engine.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the DB604 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.

## Lead-acid technology in the DB604

The DB604 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. Avoid leaving them discharged, as they sulphate, and charge them with a charger that cuts off or switches to maintenance when finished.
