Format and fitting of the Varta G8

Varta G8 versus Varta G7, Varta N85 and Tudor TL955

If you are torn between the Varta G8 and the other 306 × 173 × 225 mm batteries we sell most, these are the real differences, with October 2026 prices:

• Varta G7 (95 Ah, 830 A, conventional): the same battery as the G8 but with the positive on the right: the one you need if the cables in your car come from the other side; 96.90 € VAT incl., 4.00 € less than the G8.
• Varta N85 (85 Ah, 800 A, EFB): the EFB alternative for cars with basic Start-Stop; without Start-Stop the G8 does the same job for less money; note it has the positive on the right, the opposite of this one; 127.30 € VAT incl., 26.40 € more than the G8.
• Tudor TL955 (95 Ah, 800 A, EFB): a verified Tudor equivalent in a higher technology (EFB): only worth it if your car has Start-Stop; 147.70 € VAT incl., 46.80 € more than the G8.

In short: the Varta G8 is the logical choice if your car has no Start-Stop and originally had around 95 Ah; with Start-Stop, do not fit it and go for Varta N85 (EFB).

The Varta G8 used to belong to Varta's Blue Dynamic range; following the brand's commercial renaming (2025), it now forms part of the new Dynamic SLI series.
