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

Format and fitting of the Varta A17
The Varta A17 is made in the 207 × 175 × 175 mm format and weighs 10,9 kg. The positive terminal on the right 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 B13 hold-down and terminal 1, the system that secures it to the vehicle's battery tray. For the replacement to be a direct fit, 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 change.
The Varta A17 and the Dynamic SLI range
The Dynamic SLI series (blue label) is Varta's lead-acid line for cars with conventional starting, without Start-Stop. It succeeds the Blue, Silver and Black Dynamic ranges and retains the calcium-silver grid technology that guarantees low self-discharge and reliable cold starting, with no maintenance required.
Designed for the bulk of the car and van fleet, it offers Varta's classic balance between cranking power and durability at a keen price: the logical replacement for the original battery in a car without Start-Stop.
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 Black 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
Varta is a byword for reliability: original equipment in 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 batteries are made under the Clarios group with German technology and quality controls that make them one of the best-selling choices in Europe. As a lead battery, it is 100% recyclable through any collection point.
More than 100 manufacturing parameters are checked on every Varta battery before it leaves the plant, a level of rigour that explains why so many workshops and manufacturers trust the brand as their first-choice replacement.
Manufacturer's warranty
The Varta A17 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.

How to change the battery
Step-by-step guide to replace your car battery in 15-30 minutes (longer if the battery is under the seat or in the boot) without losing vehicle settings.
Step 1. Prepare the vehicle
Park on a flat surface, switch off the engine and remove the key. Make sure all lights and electrical accessories are off. Wait 1-2 minutes before starting.
Step 2. Locate the battery
Open the bonnet. The battery is usually in the engine bay, but in many modern cars it may be in the boot or under the passenger seat. Check the manual if you cannot find it.
Step 3. Disconnect the negative (−) terminal
Use the 10 mm wrench to loosen the negative cable nut (black, marked −) and remove the cable from the post. Move it aside so it cannot touch any bodywork.
Step 4. Disconnect the positive (+) terminal
Repeat with the positive cable (red, marked +). Important: never let a terminal touch metal of the car while the other is still connected.
Step 5. Remove the old battery
Loosen the bottom hold-down clamp with the same wrench. Lift the battery carefully (it can weigh 15-25 kg). Clean the tray with a brush and baking soda if there is corrosion.
Step 6. Install the new battery
Place the battery in the same orientation as the old one (positive terminal on the same side). Tighten the hold-down clamp firmly.
Step 7. Connect the cables
Connect the positive (+) terminal first, then the negative (−). Tighten the nuts with the wrench until each terminal does not move. Apply anti-spark grease if you have any.
Step 8. Verify the engine starts
Close the bonnet. Start the engine to confirm everything works. On cars with Start-Stop or a BMS, you may need to register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change this battery step by step?
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 this page. 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 — 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.
What is the service life of the A17 model?
Expected lifespan of the Varta A17 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 measurements of the A17 model?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 207×175×175 mm — also written as 207x175x175 mm and correspond to the European LB1 case size — 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.
Under which reference is the Varta A17 listed in catalogues?
The manufacturer reference (MPN) is A17 and its ETN code is 5414000363122 (short form 541 400 036), the European identifier used in spare-part catalogues. The EAN-13 barcode is 4016987119389. It belongs to the Varta Dynamic SLI range. Any of these codes identifies exactly this battery when requesting quotes or comparing prices.
Will the Varta A17 battery fit my car?
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 A17 fits 113 verified vehicle versions in our database.
What are the equivalents of the A17 model?
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.
