Format and fitting of the Varta YTX7L

In terms of format, the Varta YTX7L measures 113 × 70 × 130 mm (length × width × height). The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables end up on: it is the detail behind most mistaken purchases, so it is worth checking before ordering. It uses a B00 hold-down, the system that anchors it to the vehicle's battery tray. For the swap to be direct, the space taken by your current battery must respect those three dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will have to change.

The Varta YTX7L and the Powersports AGM Active range

The Powersports AGM Active range consists of AGM motorcycle batteries activated and charged at the factory, ready to fit. They pair the toughness of AGM technology with the convenience of immediate installation.

They are aimed at general motorcycle and scooter use, with reliable starting and no maintenance from day one.

Unlike a car battery, what matters here is power density in a minimal size and resistance to vibration. It is the direct substitute for the original motorcycle battery, with the advantage of reliable starting even in the cold and after periods of inactivity. This battery used to belong to Varta's Powersports AGM High Performance range; following the brand's change of commercial naming (2025), it forms part of the new Powersports AGM Active series.

Why choose a Varta battery

Varta is a byword for reliability: original equipment on numerous European vehicles and one of the most proven brands on the market. Replacing your battery with a Varta restores OEM quality — the same performance as the factory-fitted unit — with the manufacturer's backing.

Varta combines more than a century of experience with Clarios's industrial production: it is the battery many manufacturers choose as standard and one of the most recommended by workshops. Like any lead-acid battery, it is 100% recyclable.

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

Manufacturer's warranty

The Varta YTX7L battery comes with the official manufacturer warranty.

Care and maintenance

If the bike goes unused for long spells, a trickle charger greatly extends the battery's life and prevents sulphation. Storing it somewhere dry and checking the terminals at the start of each season helps it start first time. Motorcycle batteries suffer in the cold and when left idle: in winter, a maintenance charger stops the battery from discharging completely. With this care, it will typically deliver well over several years of service.
