Check in seconds by entering your **registration** in our finder. ### Format and fitting of the Varta C6 In terms of format, the Varta C6 measures 207 × 175 × 175 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 12,7 kg. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes the most buying mistakes, so it is worth checking before you order. It uses a B13 hold-down and terminal 1, the system that anchors it to the vehicle's battery tray. Before replacing it, measure the space your current battery occupies: if it matches on all three dimensions and on terminal position, the swap is direct and needs no adapters. ### The Varta C6 and the Dynamic SLI range The **Dynamic SLI** range is Varta's conventional starter 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 Europe's conventional petrol and diesel fleet, 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 successor when your car has no Start-Stop and came with a standard battery from new: the same thinking, without paying over the odds for a chemistry you do not need. *This battery used to belong to Varta's **Silver 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 C6 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 the terminal or using a trickle charger so it does not drop below the safe threshold. Making sure the terminals are clean and properly tightened also helps towards 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-c6-52ah-520a-12v-en.pdf) ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I fit the C6 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 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. ### How long does the Varta C6 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Varta C6 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 C6 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. ### What ETN and EAN codes does the Varta C6 battery have? The manufacturer reference (MPN) is C6 and its ETN code is 5524010523162 (short form 552 401 052), the European identifier used in spare-part catalogues. The EAN-13 barcode is 4016987167373. It belongs to the Varta Dynamic SLI 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 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The C6 fits 307 verified vehicle versions in our database. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Varta C6? 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. ## Compatible vehicles This battery fits 307 vehicles.
