Its 518 Γ— 276 Γ— 242 mm dimensions and positive terminal on the left make it the exact replacement for the 240 Ah battery fitted as standard in many vehicles. - More on-board running time than a conventional starter battery. - Withstands deep discharges and repeated recharging without degrading. - Ideal for motorhomes, boating and leisure power. - Dual cycle: it both starts the engine and powers auxiliary equipment. ### Applications of the Varta LED240 battery With 240 Ah, the Varta LED240 is sized for motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment as a direct replacement for the original battery. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference weighs 56.75 kg and has a type 1 terminal and a B00 hold-down. ### Format and fitting of the Varta LED240 The Varta LED240 is made in the 518 Γ— 276 Γ— 242 mm format and weighs 56.75 kg. The positive terminal on the left 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 B00 hold-down and a type 1 terminal, the system that anchors it to the vehicle's battery tray. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal positions before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery. ### The Varta LED240 and the Professional Dual Purpose EFB range The **Professional Dual Purpose EFB** range applies EFB technology to dual starting and leisure use, with more resistance to cycling than a conventional battery at a moderate cost. It sits between the standard dual-purpose range and AGM: a solid step up for leisure and boating without paying AGM prices. The chemistry is built to be drained and recharged many times over β€” the typical pattern in leisure and boating use β€” where an ordinary car battery would sulphate within weeks. It gives you running time for the on-board equipment and the cranking power to turn the engine over when needed. ### 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 β€” the same performance as the factory-fitted unit β€” with the manufacturer's backing. Varta combines more than a century of experience with the industrial production of Clarios: it is the battery many manufacturers fit as standard and one of the most recommended by workshops. Like every lead-acid battery, it is 100% recyclable. More than 100 manufacturing parameters are checked on every Varta battery before it leaves the plant, a level of rigour that explains why so many workshops and manufacturers trust the brand as their first-choice replacement. ### Manufacturer's warranty The Varta LED240 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.

The LED240 is an EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery): flooded lead-acid reinforced with plate additives. Withstands more cycles than a conventional but fewer than an AGM. Fitted to boats with basic Start-Stop (no regenerative braking). More affordable than an equivalent AGM, lifespan 4-6 years. ### How do I check that the Varta LED240 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 LED240; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year β€” we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00 CET). ### How do I fit the LED240 model in my boat? 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 (βˆ’) 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 β€” match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (βˆ’). 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? We provide 1 year of official manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. It applies to defects such as damaged cells, internal short-circuits or abnormal capacity loss. It does NOT cover misuse (prolonged overcharging, inadequate charger, defective alternator). If the battery fails, we replace it at no cost after a technical inspection. ### 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 β€” 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 LED240 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 β€” 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. ### What is the price of this battery? The current price at baterias.com is 289,60 € (VAT included; 239,34 € 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 LED240 battery? At baterias.com β€” 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 LED240 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Varta LED240 is 4 to 6 years in basic Start-Stop boat use. 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 LED240 battery? Dimensions (length Γ— width Γ— height) are 518Γ—276Γ—242 mm β€” also written as 518x276x242 mm β€” 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 LED240 battery weigh? It weighs 59,5 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 LED240 battery have? Nominal capacity 240 Ah[?cca: and [cold-cranking amps 1050 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. ### Is the LED240 valid for my vehicle? 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 β€” we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00 CET). The LED240 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### What are the equivalents of the LED240 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 β€” 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 LED240 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 reviews does the LED240 model have?
