Who the Deta DC400 is for
The Deta DC400 is made for petrol and diesel cars without automatic engine stop. If your car has no Start-Stop and had a 40 Ah battery, the DC400 is a direct replacement.
At 40 Ah it is a small size: the usual choice for petrol superminis and city cars with little equipment. The DC400 belongs to the Deta DETA Standard range. See all Deta batteries

Lead-acid technology in the DC400
Inside, the DC400 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. It is a robust, well-known technology with a good capacity-to-price ratio, and still the basis of most cars, trucks and traction equipment.
Before ordering the DC400, check this
- If your car has Start-Stop, the DC400 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- The DC400 delivers 320 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- With 40 Ah, the DC400 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- The DC400 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
- Measure the space: the DC400 takes up 175 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L0).
Frequently asked questions about the Deta DC400
DC400 or DB440: which one suits me?
Compared with the DC400, the Deta DB440 has 4 Ah more and 80 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 400 A or more, choose the DB440; if it says 320 A or less, the DC400 is enough. Both measure 175 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
Can the Deta DC400 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
No. The DC400 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM.
How much does the Deta DC400 weigh?
10.4 kg, with 40 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Deta DB440 (44 Ah) weighs 10.7 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Deta DC400?
With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide EC400, Tudor TC400 and Fulmen FC400. As the DC400 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.
What case size is the Deta DC400?
Case size L0: 175 × 175 × 190 mm. The DC400 fits any standard L0 battery tray such as the Exide EC400.
Which side is the positive terminal on the Deta DC400?
On the DC400, the positive terminal is on the right with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.
Which charger does the Deta DC400 need?
An automatic lead-acid charger with cut-off or maintenance mode, rated at 10 to 20% of its capacity in amps. If it is a vented type, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water.
