Varta LA170 Professional Dual Purpose AGM 170Ah 1000A 12V Battery

The Varta LA170 battery is the 12 V, 170 Ah model delivering 1000 A of cold cranking power (EN), from Varta's Professional Dual Purpose AGM from Varta, designed for motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment. Its 513 × 223 × 223 mm dimensions make it the exact replacement for the 170 Ah battery fitted as standard on many vehicles.

• Dual cycle: it both starts the engine and powers auxiliary equipment.
• Ideal for motorhomes, boating and leisure power.
• Withstands deep discharges and repeated recharging without degrading.
• More on-board running time than a conventional starter battery.

Applications of the Varta LA170 battery

The Varta LA170 covers the needs of motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment with 170 Ah of capacity and a construction built for that use. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a B00 hold-down.

Format and fitting of the Varta LA170

In format, the Varta LA170 measures 513 × 223 × 223 mm (length × width × height). It uses a B00 hold-down, the system that anchors it to the vehicle's battery tray. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

The Varta LA170 and the Professional Dual Purpose AGM range

The Professional Dual Purpose AGM range combines dual purpose (starting + leisure supply) with AGM technology, which brings greater resistance to cycling, zero maintenance and safety against spillage.

It is the demanding choice for motorhomes and boats that need to start the engine and sustain a heavy equipment load with maximum durability.

Unlike a pure starter battery, this range withstands deep discharges and repeated recharging without degrading: exactly what a motorhome or a boat drawing power with the engine off requires. It therefore combines starting and leisure supply in a single dual-cycle battery.

Why choose a Varta battery

Choosing Varta means going with the reference the car manufacturer itself signed off in the first place. Against own-brand batteries, the difference is not the purchase price but how many winters the battery lasts before it leaves you stranded.

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.

Varta's production combines automated lines with verification of more than 100 parameters per unit; that traceability is what underpins its reputation for reliable starting throughout the battery's life.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Varta LA170 battery comes with the official manufacturer warranty.

Care and maintenance

In leisure applications, avoiding discharges below 50% of capacity multiplies the number of cycles the battery will deliver. A suitable charger and, where possible, a solar regulator keep it healthy through the quieter seasons. To extend its life, recharge it as soon as possible after each discharge and never leave it flat over the winter. A trickle charger is the best investment for getting many cycles out of it.
