The Wacker Neuson Battery Protection is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 4045, DPU 4545, and DPU 5545 series diesel reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specification as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation. This part is confirmed to fit a wide range of DPU H, He, Heh, Hap, Yeh, and YE model variants across both standard and US-market configurations. When your battery protection component is damaged or missing, replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part keeps the electrical system properly safeguarded during operation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Electrical Protection: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this component meets the original design specification for shielding the battery circuit in DPU series compactors — no guesswork on compatibility or material grade.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Engineered to mount in the same position and connect using the same hardware as the original, making swap-out straightforward on the DPU 4045, 4545, and 5545 platforms.
- Broad DPU Series Coverage: — Fits DPU 4045H, DPU 4045Hap, DPU 4045Yeh, DPU 4545H, DPU 4545He, DPU 4545Heh, DPU 5045H, DPU 5045He, DPU 5545H, DPU 5545He, DPU 5545Heh, and related US-market variants.
- Electrical System Safeguard: — A functioning battery protection component prevents unintended electrical discharge, voltage spikes, and moisture ingress at the battery connection — conditions that can cause hard starts, control malfunctions, or premature battery failure on a diesel plate compactor.
- Correct Part for Safety-Critical Electrical Systems: — On diesel-powered compaction equipment, protecting the battery circuit is essential for reliable ignition control and safe machine operation; using the verified OEM part number 5000220187 ensures the protection level matches the original design intent.
The battery protection component on a DPU series reversible plate compactor serves as a shield or cover for the machine's battery connection, guarding against physical damage, moisture, vibration wear, and unintended contact with conductive surfaces. On a vibratory plate compactor — a machine that generates continuous high-frequency vibration during use — this protection is especially important, as constant movement can accelerate wear on unprotected electrical connections. When the battery protection is cracked, broken, or missing entirely, the exposed battery terminal becomes vulnerable to short circuits, corrosion, and moisture ingress, which can lead to unreliable starting and potential electrical damage to the compactor's control system.
