Varta I1 Dynamic SLI (formerly Silver Dynamic) 110Ah 920A 12V Car Battery

The Varta I1 car battery is the 12 V, 110 Ah model delivering 920 A of cold cranking power (EN), from Varta's Dynamic SLI (formerly Silver Dynamic) range, designed for cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. Measuring 393 × 175 × 190 mm with the positive terminal on the right, it is the direct replacement for cars that leave the factory with a 110 Ah battery in this format.

In short: the Varta I1 (110 Ah, 920 A, 393 × 175 × 190 mm, positive terminal on the right) is one of the 50 best-selling batteries at baterias.com over the last 3 months, rated 4.85 out of 5 by 13 customers. 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 TB1100 and Exide EB1100.

Format and fitting of the Varta I1

In format, the Varta I1 measures 393 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 25.2 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 I1 and the Dynamic SLI range

The Dynamic SLI series (blue label) is Varta's lead-acid line for cars with conventional starting, without Start-Stop. It succeeds the Blue, Silver and Black Dynamic ranges and keeps the calcium-silver grid technology that ensures low self-discharge and reliable cold starting, with no maintenance required.

Aimed at the bulk of the car and van fleet, it offers Varta's classic balance of starting power and durability at a sensible price: the logical replacement for the original battery in a car without Start-Stop.

Compared with an EFB or AGM Start-Stop battery, this range prioritises a keen price and punchy starting in conventional cars. With proper care — avoiding deep discharges and keeping an eye on the alternator — a battery from this series gives several years of trouble-free service. This battery used to belong to Varta's Silver Dynamic, Silver Dynamic or Black Dynamic range; following the brand's commercial renaming (2025), it now forms part of the new Dynamic SLI series.

Why choose a Varta battery

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 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 any lead-acid battery, it is 100% recyclable.

Varta is Europe's leading manufacturer of starter batteries: its production volume and quality controls guarantee consistent reliability batch after batch, something own-brand makes cannot always promise.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Varta I1 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.
