Varta D48 12V 60Ah 540A is a starter battery with OEM-equivalent quality, designed for modern passenger cars. Delivers reliable cold-cranks even after weeks of inactivity and supports stable auxiliary loads (lights, climate control, infotainment).
Where it fits: the Varta D48 is one of our car batteries, belongs to our Varta batteries and by capacity it sits among our 60Ah batteries.
Mostly to Chevrolet Aveo and Toyota IQ (16 orders with the vehicle identified). Always confirm compatibility with your registration: tray size and terminal layout change between versions.
It is a conventional battery: not for Start-Stop cars, which need EFB or AGM depending on what they left the factory with. Never go below the original capacity and cranking either.
The Varta D48 car battery is the 12 V, 60 Ah model with 540 A of cold cranking power (EN) from Varta's Dynamic SLI (formerly Blue Dynamic) range, intended for cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. Measuring 232 × 173 × 225 mm and with the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for cars fitted from the factory with a 60 Ah battery in this format.
In short: the Varta D48 (60 Ah, 540 A, 232 × 173 × 225 mm, positive terminal on the left). It is a conventional battery for cars without Start-Stop: if yours has Start-Stop, it needs an EFB or AGM battery of the same size. Verified equivalent alternatives: Tudor TB605 and Exide EB605.
The Varta D48 is compatible with more than 229 vehicles: it is fitted as standard or as a replacement by brands such as Nissan, Chevrolet, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda and Daewoo. If you are after a battery for a Nissan or Chevrolet in these dimensions, the D48 is one of the usual replacement references. It also appears as a replacement in vehicles from Proton, Subaru, Dodge, Jinbei, Mazda, Hyundai, ZAZ and Jeep, among other manufacturers. Not sure whether it is the one for your car? Check in seconds by entering your registration in our finder.
Its external dimensions are 232 × 173 × 225 mm and it weighs 15,8 kg. The positive terminal on the left 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 B00 hold-down and terminal 1, the system that anchors it to the vehicle's battery tray. For the swap to be direct, the space taken by your current battery must respect those three dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters would be needed or the hold-down would change.
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 Dynamic SLI). 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.
Compared with an EFB or AGM Start-Stop battery, this range puts the emphasis on a keen price and punchy starting in conventional cars. With proper care — avoiding deep discharges and checking the alternator — a battery from this series delivers several years of trouble-free service. This battery used to belong to Varta's Dynamic SLI, Dynamic SLI or Dynamic SLI range; following the brand's commercial renaming (2025), it forms part of the new Dynamic SLI series.
Manufactured by Clarios to German standards, Varta is one of the world's benchmark brands in starter batteries and an OEM supplier to the leading car makers. Choosing it as a replacement guarantees specifications equal to or better than the originals.
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.
Varta is Europe's leading maker of starter batteries: its production volume and quality controls guarantee consistent reliability batch after batch, something own-brand makes cannot always promise.
The Varta D48 battery comes with the official manufacturer warranty.
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.

Me hubiera gustado que tengan whasap para poder comunicarme con el transportista, pero la entrega fue muy bien y rápida. La batería fue un poco alta de cm para mi coche Chevrolet aveo pero lo pude ajustar con los tornillos largos que tiene mi coche, de momento me funciona genial.

Tudor
TL605
Upgrade: EFB The EFB of this size, built for the simple Start-Stop that a conventional battery like the D48 cannot take. Compared with the D48 it has 20 A of cold cranking less. It costs 42,40 € more. Essential if your car has basic Start-Stop or came with EFB; without Start-Stop it is a durability upgrade you can skip.

You need it if the original battery label says EFB; in a car without Start-Stop the D48 does the job and EFB only adds service life.

Fitting it yourself? Step-by-step guide to replacing the battery →
On most cars it is a 15-30 minute job needing only a 10 mm spanner (up to twice as long when the battery is under a seat or in the boot). With the engine stopped and the key removed, always start with the negative (−) terminal, then the positive (+). Free the clamp, swap the battery without turning it round (this one has positive on the left) so the polarity stays the same, and reconnect in reverse: positive (+) first, negative (−) last. Our blog guide covers it in detail; if the owner's handbook describes a different procedure, follow the manufacturer.
As a guide, you can expect the Varta D48 to last 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop, although the real figure may be higher or lower. Many factors play a part: how it is used (lots of short trips, for example), temperature (cold makes every start harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, as well as the type of car and whether it has Start-Stop.
Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close. It measures 232×173×225 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height.
On the Varta D48, the polarity is positive on the left. To check, stand the battery in front of you with the terminals nearest you: the positive (+) is the one with the red ring. Compare it with the battery you are replacing: if it does not match, cables must be lengthened or the system reconfigured, with a risk of short circuit.
Manufacturer part number (MPN): D48. ETN code: 5604110543132 (short form 560 411 054), the European identifier used in parts catalogues. EAN-13 barcode: 4016987167618. It belongs to the Varta Dynamic SLI range. Any of them identifies this exact battery.
The compatibility list for the D48 runs to 248 verified vehicle versions. For your own vehicle: type your number plate into the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA identify model and engine), check the "Compatible vehicles" tab below, listing vehicles verified by our technical team, or message us on WhatsApp with make, model, engine and year; we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). In every case, the car manufacturer's specifications (owner's handbook) take precedence.
To replace the Varta D48 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size, polarity, Ah and CCA. See the "Equivalents" section of this page for the recommended options at the same performance level. Mind the technology: in Start-Stop cars an EFB is not swapped for a conventional battery.
A technology step up: EFB for cars with basic Start-Stop, in the same tray as the D48. Compared with the D48 it has 5 Ah more and 110 A of cold cranking more. It costs 46,00 € more. Pays off in cars with lots of stops and starts; for normal use without Start-Stop, the D48 is enough.
Same case and same fitting as the D48, from Tudor. Compared with the D48 it has 60 A of cold cranking less. It costs 4,70 € more. If you want to save or the D48 is out of stock, it is the safe alternative: same dimensions, same polarity and official warranty.
