Varta LA70 Professional Dual Purpose AGM 70Ah 760A 12V Battery

The Varta LA70 battery is the 12 V, 70 Ah model delivering 760 A of cold cranking power (EN) from Varta's Professional Dual Purpose AGM range, designed for motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment.

Size and fitting of the Varta LA70

Its external dimensions are 278 × 175 × 190 mm and it weighs 20,4 kg. 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 and a type 1 terminal, the system that anchors it to the vehicle's battery tray. Before replacing it, measure the space your current battery occupies: if it matches on all three dimensions and on terminal position, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

The Varta LA70 and the Professional Dual Purpose AGM range

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

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

The chemistry is built for draining and recharging the battery many times over — the typical pattern in leisure and marine use — where an ordinary car battery would sulphate within weeks. It offers endurance for the on-board equipment and the cranking power to turn the engine over when the moment comes.

Why choose a Varta battery

Varta is a byword for reliability: original equipment in numerous European vehicles and one of the most proven brands on the market. Replacing your battery with a Varta restores OEM quality — the same performance as the factory-fitted unit — with the manufacturer's backing.

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 makers cannot always assure.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Varta LA70 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 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.
