### 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 **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

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 **a 2-year official warranty** from the manufacturer.

### 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 know if the A17 model fits my car?

Three ways: 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 for the A17; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00 CET).

### 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 warranty does the Varta A17 battery have?

The official manufacturer warranty is 2 years and covers manufacturing defects. Coverage includes cell breakdowns, internal short-circuits and abnormal capacity decreases. Damage from misuse is excluded: prolonged overcharging, unsuitable chargers or a faulty alternator. If the battery fails, we replace it at no cost after a technical inspection.

### When will I receive the A17 model?

In mainland Spain and Portugal it arrives in 24 h if you order before 17:00 and the battery is in stock — it leaves the same day and arrives the next business day. Afternoon or weekend orders ship the next business day. For Balearics, Canaries and other EU destinations, allow 2-5 days. Shipping cost is calculated in the cart based on destination and service (standard, express, cash on delivery). Tracking number is sent by email + SMS as soon as the parcel ships.

### Can I return the Varta A17 battery if it doesn't fit or doesn't work?

Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to return it. In mainland Spain and Portugal returns are FREE — we cover the return shipping cost via prepaid label. In other EU countries the return shipping cost is the customer's. It must arrive in its original packaging with no signs of installation. If it was defective, the warranty covers replacement even after the 14-day period.

### How much does the Varta A17 battery cost?

The current price at baterias.com is 64,50 € (VAT included; 53,31 € excl. VAT), updated every 24 hours. The applicable VAT may vary with the destination country and is confirmed in the cart.

Shipping cost is calculated in the cart based on destination and chosen service (standard, express, cash on delivery). Secure payment by card, Bizum, PayPal or bank transfer. If you choose at-home installation, our technician will take the used battery and dispose of it through an authorised collection point.

### 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.

### How much does the Varta A17 battery weigh?

It weighs 10,7 kg. Most of the weight is lead. If you plan to fit it yourself, use gloves and a carrying strap (AGM batteries are slightly heavier than conventional due to the absorbent glass-mat fibre).

### What is the capacity and CCA of the A17 model?

Nominal capacity 41 Ah[?cca: and [cold-cranking amps 360 A]] at 12 V. Ah measure the total energy available (autonomy); CCA (also written A in cold or EN under the European standard) measure the instantaneous power to crank the starter motor. A battery with more CCA starts better in winter; one with more Ah keeps accessories on for longer.

### 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 9:00–18:00 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.

### Which is better: Varta A17 or an alternative from another brand?

This battery and its equivalents from Bosch, Tudor or Exide are technically comparable: same dimensions, same voltage and same capacity. The differences are warranty (Varta and Bosch: 2 years; Tudor and Exide: 2 years on the equivalent line), manufacturing plant (Varta and Bosch share origin in the Clarios Group; Tudor and Exide belong to Exide Technologies) and price. For private use any of these brands will give 4-6 years of life. Compare them in the "Equivalents" section.
