The Wacker Neuson Battery Protector Right is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. This part fits a wide range of DPU models including the DPU 4045, DPU 5045, DPU 5545, DPU 6055, and DPU 6555 families — covering both H and Y engine variants, US-spec machines, and combination-configured models. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number is built to the same specifications as the original part installed at the factory. Correct fitment is confirmed across diesel-powered reversible plate models spanning multiple generations of the DPU lineup.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional specifications, ensuring the protector seats and retains correctly against the battery housing without gaps or flexing.
- Right-Side Direct Replacement: — Replaces the right-hand battery protector in a like-for-like swap, aligning with the existing mounting points on DPU series machines without rework.
- Broad DPU Series Coverage: — Compatible with DPU 4045, DPU 5045, DPU 5545, DPU 6055, and DPU 6555 models including H, He, Heh, Hec, Hech, Heap, Y, Ye, Yeh, and US-spec variants.
- Battery Protection When It Counts: — Shields the battery from the vibration, impact, and debris exposure inherent to heavy-duty reversible plate compactor operation, helping maintain consistent electrical system performance.
- Electrical System Safety: — A compromised or missing battery protector can expose the battery to physical damage and vibration stress that may cause short circuits or premature battery failure on diesel-powered DPU machines.
The battery protector is a structural guard fitted to the side of the battery housing on DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Its role is to absorb and deflect mechanical impact, vibration transmission, and site debris that would otherwise contact the battery casing directly during compaction work. On machines like the DPU series — which generate continuous high-frequency vibration as part of normal operation — an intact, properly fitted protector is essential to keeping the battery secure and the electrical starting system functional. When the protector cracks, warps, or goes missing, the battery becomes vulnerable to impact damage and accelerated wear from vibration, which can lead to unreliable starting and unplanned electrical faults.
