The **Varta A15 car battery** is the **12 V**, **40 Ah** and **330 A** cold cranking (EN) model from Varta's **Dynamic SLI (formerly Blue Dynamic)** range, designed for cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. It replaces the original battery in cars with the 187 × 127 × 227 mm format without any modifications: the same 40 Ah capacity and the same terminal layout (positive on the left).
- Long service life with normal use and a charging system in good order.
- Maintenance-free lead-acid technology: no need to top up with water.
- Direct replacement for the original battery in cars without Start-Stop.
- Reliable cold starting thanks to its high cranking current.

Check in seconds by entering your **registration number** in our finder.

### Format and fitting of the Varta A15

In terms of format, the Varta A15 measures 187 × 127 × 227 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 10,2 kg. The positive terminal on the left determines which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes the most purchasing mistakes, so it is worth checking before ordering. It uses a B00 hold-down and terminal 3, the system that secures it to the vehicle's battery tray. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal positions before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

### The Varta A15 and the Dynamic SLI range

The **Dynamic SLI** range is Varta's conventional starting series for cars and vans without a Start-Stop system (identified by the blue label in Varta's new scheme; it replaces the former Blue, Black and Silver Dynamic). It uses lead-calcium technology with PowerFrame grids that reduce self-discharge and extend service life with no maintenance.
It is the balanced option in the catalogue: it covers most of the European fleet of conventional petrol and diesel vehicles, with ample cranking power and an excellent performance-to-price ratio.
This series uses lead-acid technology with plates optimised for a good balance between cranking power and service life. It is the natural substitute when your car does not have Start-Stop and came with a standard battery as original equipment: the same philosophy, without paying over the odds for a chemistry you do not need. *This battery used to belong to Varta's **Blue Dynamic**, **Silver Dynamic** or **Black Dynamic** range; following the brand's commercial renaming (2025), it forms part of the new **Dynamic SLI** series.*

### Why choose a Varta battery

When a workshop recommends Varta it is not down to marketing: it is one of the brands with the lowest return rates in the sector, with an application coverage that spans practically the whole European fleet, from the city car to the commercial vehicle.
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 every lead-acid battery, it is 100% recyclable.
Varta's production combines automated lines with verification of more than 100 parameters per unit; that traceability is what underpins its reputation for reliable starting throughout the battery's life.

### Manufacturer's warranty

The Varta A15 battery comes with the **official manufacturer warranty**.

### Care and maintenance

To get the most out of it, keep the alternator in good order and avoid leaving lights or accessories on with the engine switched 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 unused for weeks, it is worth disconnecting a terminal or using a trickle charger so it does not discharge below the safe threshold. Checking that the terminals are clean and properly tightened also helps ensure reliable starting.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I fit the A15 model in my car?

In most cars it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on our blog. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — with positive on the left match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On cars with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.

### How long does the Varta A15 battery last?

Expected lifespan of the Varta A15 is 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured.

### What are the dimensions of the Varta A15 battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 187×127×227 mm — also written as 187x127x227 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your car before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.

### On which side is the positive of the A15 model?

Polarity: positive on the left. To identify it, place the battery in front of you with the terminals facing you and check which side the positive (+, marked with a red ring) is on. Before buying, verify the polarity matches your current battery: switching polarity forces longer cables or system reconfiguration, with short-circuit risk.

### What ETN and EAN codes does the Varta A15 battery have?

The manufacturer reference (MPN) is A15 and its ETN code is 5401270333132 (short form 540 127 033), the European identifier used in spare-part catalogues. The EAN-13 barcode is 4016987167496. It belongs to the Varta Dynamic SLI range. Any of these codes identifies exactly this battery when requesting quotes or comparing prices.

### Is the A15 valid for my vehicle?

Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The A15 fits 81 verified vehicle versions in our database.

### Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?

Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop cars. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
