20,4*kg* Weight

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. Its 278 × 175 × 190 mm dimensions and positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 70 Ah battery fitted as standard in many vehicles.
- Tolerates deep discharges and repeated recharging without degrading.
- More endurance on board than a conventional starter battery.
- Dual cycle: it both cranks the engine and powers auxiliary equipment.
- Ideal for motorhomes, marine use and domestic power on board.

### Vehicles compatible with the Varta LA70 battery

According to our database, the Varta LA70 is fitted to more than 16 vehicles from brands such as Delphia Yachts, Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH, Elan Marine, Jeanneau, Harmony Yachts and Dehler, among others. For anyone who needs to change the **battery in their Delphia Yachts** or Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH, this Varta LA70 reproduces the original specifications. The compatibility list also includes models from Allegro Yachts Ltd, Pronavia Marine AB, Dufour Yachts, Corby Yachts, Alubat, Malö Yachts AB, Winner Jachten Bv and Nicanders.

### 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.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the Varta LA70 an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?

Yes. The LA70 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 is the Varta LA70 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 our blog. 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 — with positive on the right 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.

### How long does the Varta LA70 battery last?

Expected lifespan of the Varta LA70 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 dimensions of the Varta LA70 battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 278×175×190 mm — also written as 278x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L3 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.

### Which side is the positive terminal on this battery?

Polarity: positive on the right. To identify it, place the battery in front of you with the terminals facing you and check which side the positive (+, marked with a red ring) is on. Before buying, verify the polarity matches your current battery: switching polarity forces longer cables or system reconfiguration, with short-circuit risk.

### Will the Varta LA70 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 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The LA70 fits 202 verified vehicle versions in our database.

### What are the equivalents of the LA70 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.
