Sealed and maintenance-free. ### Why this marine battery? - **Marine design** built for boat swell and vibration - **Dual function** starts the engine and powers onboard services - **Sealed and safe** maintenance-free even when the boat rolls 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 60 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 680 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 242×175×190 mm ⚙️ Technology AGM 🧭 Polarity Positivo a la derecha ⚖️ Weight 17,29 kg 🏷️ Model Professional Dual Purpose AGM ## Description ## Varta LA60 Professional Dual Purpose AGM 60Ah 680A 12V Battery 12*V* Voltage 60*Ah* Capacity 680*A* Cold cranking 17.50*kg* Weight The **Varta LA60 battery** is the **12 V**, **60 Ah** model delivering **680 A** of cold cranking power (EN), from Varta's **Professional Dual Purpose AGM** range, designed for motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment. Its 242 × 175 × 190 mm dimensions and positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 60 Ah battery fitted as standard in 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 LA60 battery The Varta LA60 covers the needs of motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment with 60 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 weighs 17.50 kg and has a B13 hold-down. ### Format and fitting of the Varta LA60 In terms of format, the Varta LA60 measures 242 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 17.50 kg. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables sit on: it is the detail that causes the most buying mistakes, so it is worth checking before you order. It uses a B13 hold-down, the system that anchors it to the vehicle's battery tray. For the swap to be direct, the space your current battery occupies must match those three dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise you will need adapters or the hold-down will have to change. ### The Varta LA60 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. Varta batteries are made under the Clarios group with German technology and quality controls that make them one of the best-selling choices in Europe. As a lead battery, it is 100% recyclable through any collection point. 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 LA60 battery comes with **a 1-year official warranty** from the manufacturer. ### 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. ### Technical sheet Download the official technical sheet for this battery with all the manufacturer data. [Download technical sheet (PDF)](/fichastecnicas/data-sheet-battery-varta-la60-60ah-680a-12v-en.pdf) ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the LA60 model AGM? What does this technology offer? Yes. The LA60 from Varta uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for boats with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions. ### How do I verify this battery is the right one? Three ways: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team for the LA60; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00 CET). ### How is the Varta LA60 battery installed in the vehicle? In most boats it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on this page. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On boats with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### What is the warranty period of this battery? This battery includes 1 year of official manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. It covers cell failures, internal short-circuits and abnormal capacity drops. Damage from misuse is excluded: prolonged overcharging, unsuitable chargers or a faulty alternator. On confirmed defect after technical inspection, we replace the LA60 model at no cost. ### What is the delivery time for this battery? In mainland Spain and Portugal it arrives in 24 h if you order before 17:00 and the battery is in stock — it leaves the same day and arrives the next business day. Afternoon or weekend orders ship the next business day. For Balearics, Canaries and other EU destinations, allow 2-5 days. Shipping cost is calculated in the cart based on destination and service (standard, express, cash on delivery). Tracking number is sent by email + SMS as soon as the parcel ships. ### Can I return the Varta LA60 battery if it doesn't fit or doesn't work? Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to return it. In mainland Spain and Portugal returns are FREE — we cover the return shipping cost via prepaid label. In other EU countries the return shipping cost is the customer's. It must arrive in its original packaging with no signs of installation. If it was defective, the warranty covers replacement even after the 14-day period. ### How much does the Varta LA60 battery cost? The current price at baterias.com is 147,80 € (VAT included; 122,15 € excl. VAT), updated every 24 hours. The applicable VAT may vary with the destination country and is confirmed in the cart. Shipping cost is calculated in the cart based on destination and chosen service (standard, express, cash on delivery). ### Where can I buy the Varta LA60 battery? At baterias.com — authorised distributor with real stock, 24h delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal if you order before 17:00, and full manufacturer warranty. Shipping cost is calculated in the cart based on destination and chosen service (standard, express, cash on delivery). Secure payment by card, Bizum, PayPal or bank transfer. If you choose at-home installation, our technician will take the used battery and dispose of it through an authorised collection point. ### How long does the Varta LA60 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Varta LA60 is 5 to 8 years in mild-climate boat use with Start-Stop. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured. ### What are the measurements of the LA60 model? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 242×175×190 mm — also written as 242x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L2 case size — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your boat before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals. ### What is the weight of the LA60 model? It weighs 17,3 kg. Most of the weight is lead. If you plan to fit it yourself, use gloves and a carrying strap (AGM batteries are slightly heavier than conventional due to the absorbent glass-mat fibre). ### How many amps does the Varta LA60 battery have? Nominal capacity 60 Ah[?cca: and [cold-cranking amps 680 A]] at 12 V. Ah measure the total energy available (autonomy); CCA (also written A in cold or EN under the European standard) measure the instantaneous power to crank the starter motor. A battery with more CCA starts better in winter; one with more Ah keeps accessories on for longer. ### Will the Varta LA60 battery fit my boat? Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00 CET). The LA60 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### What are the equivalents of the LA60 model? Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop boats. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level. ### Is the LA60 model better than its equivalents from other brands? This battery and its equivalents from Bosch, Tudor or Exide are technically comparable: same dimensions, same voltage and same capacity. The differences are warranty (Varta and Bosch: 2 years; Tudor and Exide: 2 years on the equivalent line), manufacturing plant (Varta and Bosch share origin in the Clarios Group; Tudor and Exide belong to Exide Technologies) and price. For private use any of these brands will give 4-6 years of life. Compare them in the "Equivalents" section. ### What do users say about the Varta LA60 battery?
