Varta LA95 Professional Dual Purpose AGM 95Ah 850A 12V Battery

The Varta LA95 battery is the 12 V, 95 Ah model delivering 850 A of cold cranking power (EN) from Varta's Professional Dual Purpose AGM range, designed for motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment.

• 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.

Size and fitting of the Varta LA95

In terms of format, the Varta LA95 measures 353 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 26,4 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. For the swap to be direct, the space your current battery occupies must respect those three dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will have to change.

The Varta LA95 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

When a workshop recommends Varta it is not down to marketing: it is one of the brands with the lowest return rates in the sector, with an application coverage spanning practically the whole European vehicle parc, from the city car to the industrial vehicle.

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 LA95 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.
