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. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal positions before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery. ### The Varta B18 and the Dynamic SLI range The **Dynamic SLI** is Varta's entry range for vehicles with traditional starting (without Start-Stop), bringing what used to be the Blue, Silver and Black Dynamic series together under a single name by technology. Its lead-calcium construction with optimised separators prioritises punchy starting and a long life with no maintenance. It covers the vast majority of conventional petrol and diesel cars on the European market. It is the sensible choice when you want German manufacturing quality without paying the premium for AGM or EFB technology that the vehicle does not need. Compared with an EFB or AGM Start-Stop battery, this range prioritises a contained cost and punchy starting in conventional cars. With proper care — avoiding deep discharges and checking the alternator — a battery in this series delivers several years of trouble-free service. *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 A good share of the vehicles on Europe's roads left the factory with a Varta fitted: the brand has spent decades supplying the assembly lines of the leading automotive groups. Fitting a Varta is, in practice, giving the vehicle back the battery its manufacturer intended. 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 B18 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. ### Technical sheet Download the official technical sheet for this battery with all the manufacturer data. [Download technical sheet (PDF)](/fichastecnicas/data-sheet-battery-varta-b18-44ah-440a-12v-en.pdf) ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I know if the B18 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 B18; 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 is the Varta B18 battery installed in the vehicle? 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 warranty period of this battery? 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. On confirmed defect after technical inspection, we replace the B18 model at no cost. ### What is the delivery time for this battery? 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. ### Are returns accepted on this battery? 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 B18 battery cost? The current price at baterias.com is 45,10 € (VAT included; 37,27 € excl. VAT), updated every 24 hours. The applicable VAT may vary with the destination country and is confirmed in the cart.

At baterias.com — authorised distributor with real stock, 24h delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal if you order before 17:00, and full manufacturer warranty. 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. ### How long does the Varta B18 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Varta B18 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 size is this battery? 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 B18 battery weigh? It weighs 10,9 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 B18 model? Nominal capacity 44 Ah[?cca: and [cold-cranking amps 440 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. ### What ETN and EAN codes does the Varta B18 battery have? The manufacturer reference (MPN) is B18 and its ETN code is 5444020443132 (short form 544 402 044), the European identifier used in spare-part catalogues. The EAN-13 barcode is 4016987167519. It belongs to the VARTA BLUE dynamic range. Any of these codes identifies exactly this battery when requesting quotes or comparing prices. ### Does this 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 B18 fits 290 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. ### Which is better: Varta B18 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. ### What real-world experiences are there with this battery?
