The DEL-78ST Deltec Automotive and Commercial Battery is a specialised, heavy-duty power solution specifically engineered with integrated side terminals to fit vehicles requiring a flush profile setup. Manufactured in a state-of-the-art facility, this sealed maintenance-free battery brings a powerful 750 CCA cranking punch and a substantial 80 Ah capacity rating. Built with robust components to effectively handle unexpected house loads, it reduces early component degradation to safeguard consistent performance across the demanding commercial transport loops of Australia and New Zealand.

Perfect for drivers who demand:

✓ A dedicated Side Terminal configuration engineered for a flush, low-clearance connection footprint
✓ Commercial-grade internal protection that successfully counters power drops when light house loads are active
✓ A completely factory-sealed, maintenance-free cover format that eliminates messy fluid top-ups

Key Features & Benefits

Patented X-Frame Grid Tech

• Full-framed stamped grid architecture ensures highly stable internal electrical delivery
• Optimises rapid current distribution to supply consistent, dependable starting power
• Limits internal grid growth over time to shield the cells and guard against early field failures

High Durability Plate Armour

• Specialised micro-fibre reinforcement technology chemically locks and binds the active mass
• Prevents active material shedding caused by continuous commercial road bumps and shocks
• Supplies a prolonged, highly consistent power stream for standard on-board equipment

Advanced Calcium+ Chemistry

• Ultra-pure lead-calcium-tin alloy technology provides premium prevention against grid corrosion
• Drastically minimises natural self-discharge when vehicles sit unoperated for long durations
• Factory-sealed maintenance-free configuration successfully prevents all electrolyte fluid loss

Commercial Fluid Security

• Sealed casing layout minimises internal evaporation risk during long transport runs
• Robust internal matrix handles the unique thermal strains of commercial operations
• Designed to lower early capacity loss under stressful regional working parameters

Advantages & Considerations

Advantages

✓ Specialised flush side terminal posts solve tight vertical engine compartment configurations
✓ Hard-hitting 750 CCA output provides highly reliable starting power routines
✓ Sealed architecture eliminates messy water checks or dangerous acid top-ups
✓ Built with full-framed X-Frame grids to directly protect against premature failure

Considerations

• Exclusively intended for specific vehicle trays engineered for threaded side terminal connections
• Ensure the 286 mm length footprint matches your original vehicle layout precisely
• Not engineered to satisfy the high cycling demands of modern Idle Stop-Start vehicles

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lifespan of this battery?

Under normal commercial transport or passenger workflows, this heavy-duty battery typically supplies a reliable service lifecycle of 2 to 4 years. Total life depends on your route conditions, daily runtime duration, and secondary device house loads.

Is this battery maintenance-free?

Yes, this model features a completely Sealed Maintenance-Free (SMF) configuration. The integrated Calcium+ alloy chemistry prevents electrolyte loss and gas vapour escape, meaning you never need to open the casing or add distilled water.

What vehicles/applications is this battery compatible with?

The Deltec DEL-78ST is optimised for standard passenger cars, specialised fleet platforms, and light commercial models that specify an American or industrial side-terminal battery format.

How should I store this battery during the off-season?

Store the battery in a cool, clean, and dry storage area away from direct weather extremes. Ensure it is charged up entirely before leaving it idle, and use a standard compatible smart charger periodically over winter to defend against natural self-discharge.

What is covered under the warranty?

This product includes a dedicated manufacturer's warranty. It covers unexpected operational failures caused directly by structural material defects or factory assembly faults under standard operating conditions.
