• Direct replacement for the original battery in cars without Start-Stop.
• Reliable cold starting thanks to its high cranking current.
• Long service life with normal use and a charging system in good order.
• Maintenance-free lead-acid technology: no need to top up the water.

Applications of the Varta 066017036 battery

With 66 Ah, the Varta 066017036 is sized for cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system, as a direct replacement for the original battery.

Format and fitting of the Varta 066017036

The Varta 066017036 is made in the 177 × 175 × 185 mm format. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables sit on: it is the detail that causes the most buying mistakes, so it is worth checking before you order. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal positions before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

The Varta 066017036 and the Classic range

The Classic range is Varta's most affordable series, using traditional lead-acid for older vehicles and straightforward applications. It puts reliable starting at the lowest cost first.

It is the basic option when no special performance or cycling resistance is called for: an affordable, direct replacement with Varta's manufacturing backing.

Compared with an EFB or AGM Start-Stop battery, this range prioritises a keen price and punchy starting in conventional cars. With proper care — avoiding deep discharges and keeping an eye on the alternator — a battery in this series gives several years of trouble-free service.

Why choose a Varta battery

Choosing Varta means going with the reference the car manufacturer itself signed off in the first place. Against own-brand batteries, the difference is not the purchase price but how many winters the battery lasts before it leaves you stranded.

Behind Varta is Clarios, one of the largest manufacturers of starter batteries in the world and a supplier to the assembly lines of numerous car brands. That German engineering heritage translates into reliable starting year after year.

Varta is Europe's leading manufacturer of starter batteries: its production volume and quality controls guarantee consistent reliability batch after batch, something own-brand labels cannot always promise.

Care and maintenance

To get the most out of it, keep the alternator in good condition and avoid leaving lights or accessories switched on with the engine off. Repeated very short journeys are its main enemy: they stop the battery from recharging fully and shorten its life. If the car is going to stand for weeks, it is worth disconnecting the terminal or using a trickle charger so that it does not fall below the safe charge threshold. Making sure the terminals are clean and properly tightened also helps it start reliably.
