Varta G3 Dynamic SLI · Car battery 95Ah 800A

Varta G3 Dynamic SLI (formerly Blue Dynamic) 95Ah 800A 12V Car Battery

The Varta G3 car battery is the 12 V, 95 Ah model delivering 800 A of cold cranking power (EN), from Varta's Dynamic SLI (formerly Blue Dynamic) range, designed for cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. It replaces the original battery in cars with the 353 × 175 × 190 mm format without any modifications: the same 95 Ah capacity and the same terminal layout (positive on the right).

In short: the Varta G3 (95 Ah, 800 A, 353 × 175 × 190 mm, positive terminal on the right) is one of the 20 best-selling batteries at baterias.com over the last 3 months, rated 5.00 out of 5 by 8 customers.

• Maintenance-free lead-acid technology: no topping 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.

Format and fitting of the Varta G3

In format, the Varta G3 measures 353 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 21.9 kg. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables end up on: this is the detail behind more wrong purchases than any other, so it is worth checking before you order. It takes a B13 hold-down and terminal 1, the system that anchors it to the vehicle's battery tray. For the swap to be direct, the space left by the current battery must respect those three dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down would have to change.

The Varta G3 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 system; 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 the European fleet of conventional petrol and diesel vehicles, with ample starting power and excellent value for money.

This series uses lead-acid technology with plates optimised for a good balance between starting power and service life. It is the natural replacement when your car has no Start-Stop and came with a standard battery from the factory: the same thinking, without paying over the odds for a chemistry you do not need. This battery used to belong to Varta's Dynamic SLI, Dynamic SLI or Dynamic SLI range; following the brand's commercial renaming (2025), it now forms part of the new Dynamic SLI series.

Why choose a Varta battery

Varta is a byword for reliability: original equipment in a great many 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 behind it.

Behind Varta is Clarios, one of the largest manufacturers of starter batteries in the world and a supplier to the assembly lines of numerous car brands. That German engineering heritage translates into reliable starting year after year.

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 G3 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 worst enemy: they stop the battery from recharging fully and shorten its life. If the car is going to stand for weeks, it is worth disconnecting a terminal or fitting a trickle charger so that it does not discharge below the safe threshold. Checking that the terminals are clean and properly tightened also helps it start first time.
