### Vehicles compatible with the Varta LA95 battery

According to our database, the Varta LA95 is fitted to more than 17 vehicles from brands such as Hanse Yachten, Wauquiez, Elan Marine, MANtra Yachts, Fora Marine and Dufour Yachts, among others. It is a go-to option when you need a **Hanse Yachten battery**, a Wauquiez one or any other model built around this same format. The compatibility list also includes models from Saffierjachten, Alubat, Nordborg-Baanordborg, Najadvarvet AB, Slottayachts, Etap, Hallberg-Rassy and Huntermarine.

### 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 **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 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 LA95 an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?

Yes. The LA95 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 check that the Varta LA95 battery fits my vehicle?

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 LA95; 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 do I change this battery step by step?

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.

### How many years of warranty does the LA95 model cover?

We provide 1 year of official manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Coverage includes cell breakdowns, internal short-circuits and abnormal capacity decreases. It does NOT cover misuse (prolonged overcharging, inadequate charger, defective alternator). On confirmed defect after technical inspection, we replace the LA95 model at no cost.

### When will I receive the LA95 model?

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 LA95 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 LA95 battery cost?

The current price at baterias.com is 181,75 € (VAT included; 150,21 € 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 do I find the LA95 model online?

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 LA95 battery last?

Expected lifespan of the Varta LA95 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 LA95 battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 353×175×190 mm — also written as 353x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L5 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.

### How much does the Varta LA95 battery weigh?

It weighs 25,7 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 LA95 battery have?

Nominal capacity 95 Ah[?cca: and [cold-cranking amps 850 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 LA95 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 LA95 fits 44 verified vehicle versions in our database.

### Which batteries are equivalent to the Varta LA95?

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 this battery a better choice than another equivalent?

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.
