## What it means that the DF1853 is lead-acid

The DF1853 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.

## Check this before ordering the Deta DF1853

- Measure the space: the DF1853 takes up 513 × 223 × 223 mm.
- Your current battery should say about 185 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 1,150 A or less, the DF1853 covers your engine.

## Frequently asked questions about the Deta DF1853

### DF1853 or DG1803: which one suits me?

Compared with the DF1853, the Deta DG1803 has 5 Ah less and 150 A less cranking power. The DF1853 cranks harder; the DG1803 is only a good option if your original battery says 1,000 A or less. Both measure 513 × 223 × 223 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### How much does the Deta DF1853 weigh?

43.9 kg, with 185 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Deta DG1803 (180 Ah) weighs 42.8 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Deta DF1853?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide EF1853, Tudor TF1853 and Fulmen FF1853. As the DF1853 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

### Are truck batteries fitted in pairs?

Almost always, in series for 24 V. Replace them in matched pairs: mixing a new one with an old one unbalances charging and shortens the new one's life.
