## Description

## Who the Deta DC700 is for

The Deta DC700 is made for petrol and diesel cars without automatic engine stop. If your car has no Start-Stop and had a 70 Ah battery, the DC700 is a direct replacement.
At 70 Ah it is the usual size for compact diesels and mid-size petrol saloons. The DC700 belongs to the Deta DETA Standard range. [The full range of Deta batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/deta-batteries)

## Deta DC700 vs DL700, DB712 and DK700: which one to choose?

The real differences between the DC700 and the closest Deta models:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deta DC700 (this one) | 70 Ah | 640 A | 278 × 175 × 190 | right | 16 kg |
| Deta DL700 | 70 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 | right | 19.3 kg |
| Deta DB712 | 71 Ah | 670 A | 278 × 175 × 175 | right | 15.3 kg |
| Deta DK700 | 70 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 | right | 20.6 kg |

- Deta DL700: the same capacity, 120 A more cranking power, the same L3 case, EFB technology.
- Deta DB712: 1 Ah more, 30 A more cranking power, a different height (175 mm instead of 190 mm, LB3). It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 190 mm height of the DC700.
- Deta DK700: the same capacity, 120 A more cranking power, the same L3 case, AGM technology.

## Equivalents and alternatives to the Deta DC700

Same dimensions and polarity as the DC700, with similar capacity and cranking power; as a conventional battery, the DC700 can also be replaced by an EFB or AGM of the same size if you want more cycles.

| Model | Technology | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide EC700 | Lead-acid | 70 Ah | 640 A | 278 × 175 × 190 |

## What it means that the DC700 is lead-acid

Inside, the DC700 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the DC700 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.

## Before ordering the DC700, check this

- If your car has Start-Stop, the DC700 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- The DC700 delivers 640 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- With 70 Ah, the DC700 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Polarity of the DC700: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- The DC700 needs 278 × 175 × 190 mm of space (European case size L3): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
