A mid-size DIN starter battery that cranks diesel and larger-petrol European and Japanese imports in Australian conditions. Delivers 730 cold cranking amps and holds 135 minutes of reserve capacity. Fits Audi A4/A6 TDI, VW Passat/Golf TDI, BMW 3 Series diesel, Mercedes-Benz C-Class diesel, Range Rover Sport, Hyundai Santa Fe diesel, Mazda CX-5/CX-9 diesel and other mid-size imports with the DIN75L factory tray.
Measures 315 by 175 by 175 mm and weighs 18.7 kg. Posts are STD tapered with C polarity (positive on the right as you face the terminals). Calcium plates hold roughly 2 percent per month self-discharge when idle. The case carries a central vent and flame arrestor, recessed posts, a built-in state-of-charge indicator eye and flush carry handles for cross-vehicle handling.
It's a flooded calcium wet-cell, not an AGM or EFB, so it isn't the right replacement for a factory Stop/Start system that calls for EFB or AGM chemistry. Series-pair two for a 24V setup if the vehicle needs it; a single DIN75L is 12V only.
What sets it apart
Century tests the Hi Performance DIN range in Australian climatic chambers against heat, dust and vibration cycles that match the local car park, not northern-hemisphere data extrapolated down.
Vibration-resistant plate welds and double-insulated separators handle corrugations, pot-holed station wagons and work-ute use without shorting internally.
The DIN75L case sits in the OE tray on European and Japanese diesel platforms without a spacer or shim, so the OE hold-down clamps as designed.
Charging, mounting and fusing
The flooded calcium wet-cell takes a standard charger profile: 14.4 to 14.7 V bulk and 13.5 to 13.8 V float at 20 degrees C, with temperature compensation on long sessions.
Modern Audi, VW, BMW, Mercedes and Range Rover platforms from roughly 2008 onward need a battery registration or BMS reset with a dealer-level scan tool after the swap. Without it, the alternator defaults to a low-charge mode and the new DIN75L sulphates within weeks. Book the reset or bring the vehicle to the Elevate workshop.
Mount in the OE tray using the factory top-clamp or bottom J-hook, torque the posts to 10 to 12 Nm, and grease exposed terminal metal with battery terminal protectant. Fuse the vehicle's own starter and OE loom at their original points, not at the post.
For a 24V series pair, use matched cable gauge between the posts, start both batteries at the same state of charge, and fuse the whole run once at the start.
