Varta LA50 Professional Dual Purpose AGM 50Ah 540A 12V Battery

The Varta LA50 battery is the 12 V, 50 Ah model delivering 540 A of cold cranking power (EN), from Varta's Professional Dual Purpose AGM range, designed for motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment. Its 207 × 175 × 190 mm dimensions and positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 50 Ah battery fitted as standard in many vehicles.

In short: the Varta LA50 (50 Ah, 540 A, 207 × 175 × 190 mm, positive terminal on the right). Verified equivalent alternatives: Varta A9 and Exide EK500.

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

Applications of the Varta LA50 battery

With 50 Ah, the Varta LA50 is sized for motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment, as a direct replacement for the original battery. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a B13 hold-down.

Format and fitting of the Varta LA50

The Varta LA50 is built in the 207 × 175 × 190 mm format. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables run to: it is the detail that causes the most buying mistakes, so it is worth checking before ordering. It uses a B13 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 LA50 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

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 labels cannot always promise.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Varta LA50 battery comes with the official manufacturer warranty.

Care and maintenance

In leisure use, avoiding discharges below 50% of capacity multiplies the number of cycles. A suitable charger and, where possible, a solar regulator keep it healthy through the seasons when it sees less use. 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.
