DINWEY 60038 (DIN100) Heavy-Duty Truck Battery
Model 60038 · DIN Group DIN100 · 12V · 100 Ah · 870 A (EN) CCA
DINWEY 60038 (DIN100) heavy-duty starting battery — 12V, 100Ah, 870A EN cold-cranking, 170min RC, 393×175×190mm. For larger European trucks in DIN markets. IATF 16949 certified.
Key Takeaways
- The 60038 is DINWEY's DIN100 standard battery — 100Ah and 870A EN cold-cranking, one step larger than the DIN88.
- The DIN100 class has a longer 393mm case than the DIN88's 353mm — confirm your tray will take the bigger footprint.
- 870A EN is the European cold-cranking rating — measured to EN 50342, not directly comparable to a JIS CCA figure.
- 100Ah capacity and 170 minutes of reserve capacity suit larger European trucks with higher electrical loads.
- Available in flooded, EFB and AGM technologies for different duty cycles.
The DINWEY 60038 is the DIN100-class battery — one size class larger than the DIN88, for larger European commercial trucks with higher electrical demands. The 'DIN100' group is a length-based size class; the 60038 is DINWEY's specific model code within it.
With a longer 393mm case than the DIN88's 353mm, the DIN100 provides more plate area, giving higher capacity (100Ah) and cold-cranking performance (870A EN). It is the choice for larger European trucks that need more stored energy and stronger cold starts.
Manufactured by Chengguang Energy under an IATF 16949 quality system, available in flooded, EFB and AGM technologies to match different duty cycles.

Understanding This Model's Specifications
EN cold-cranking current (870A) is measured to EN 50342-1 — a different test from JIS CCA or SAE J537. It describes the current at −18°C under the EN test protocol. Do not directly compare a DIN EN rating to a JIS CCA figure.
Reserve Capacity is 170 minutes — the time a fully charged battery sustains a 25-amp load at 27°C before dropping to 10.5V.
Capacity is 100Ah at the 20-hour rate (C20), describing total stored energy over a slow 20-hour discharge.
Dimensions of 393×175×190mm are the standard DIN100 footprint — 40mm longer than the DIN88. Confirm tray length, terminal type and polarity before upgrading from DIN88 to DIN100.
Typical Applications
- Larger European commercial trucks (MAN, Scania, Volvo, Mercedes, DAF)
- European buses and coaches on demanding routes
- High electrical load European vehicles
- Middle East and North Africa markets
Vehicle Fitment
This model is a DIN100-class heavy-duty starting battery. Whether it fits a specific vehicle depends on the vehicle's battery standard, group size, terminal type (European conical vs others), polarity and tray dimensions — which vary by model and generation. Always confirm the exact configuration in your vehicle manual before replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DIN88 and DIN100?
The DIN100 (60038) has a longer 393mm case vs the DIN88's 353mm, giving higher capacity (100Ah vs 88Ah) and cold-cranking (870A vs 800A EN). Choose the DIN100 for larger trucks with higher electrical loads, if the tray will take it.
How much cold-cranking power does the 60038 have?
870A EN cold-cranking, measured to EN 50342-1. This is the European rating standard — not directly comparable to JIS CCA or SAE figures.
What are the dimensions of the 60038?
393×175×190mm (length × width × height), the standard DIN100 footprint with European conical (T1) terminals.
Is the 60038 available in AGM?
Yes — the 60038 is available in flooded, EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) and AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technologies.
Which trucks use the DIN100 size?
Larger European trucks from MAN, Scania, Volvo, Mercedes and DAF commonly use DIN100-class batteries. Confirm your specific vehicle's battery group and terminal orientation before ordering.
