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 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 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.

Which boats need it? Yes. 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. ### Is this a starting or a service (leisure) battery? Dual purpose: it can start the engine and also work as a service battery, handy on boats with a single battery. On boats with two circuits the ideal is one starting battery and one service battery. ### In what position can it be installed on the boat? It must be mounted upright, firmly secured and in a ventilated compartment, because it gives off gases when charging. Keep the terminals away from salt water. ### 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. ### What polarity does the Varta LED240 battery have? Polarity: positive on the left. 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. ### Varta LED240 or Varta C40: which one to choose? Same range and the same performance as the LED240. Compared with the LED240 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs 11,00 € more. Either one works; decide by price. ### Varta LED240 or Exide EP2100: which one to choose? It is the AGM of the same size: sealed, maintenance-free and with far more discharge cycles than the LED240. Compared with the LED240 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs 95,20 € more. Recommended for cyclic or stationary use, or when the equipment sits tilted; for occasional use the LED240 does the job. ## Equivalent batteries - [VARTA C40](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-c40-efb-12v-240ah-1200a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team β€” automotive battery specialists since 2012. β†’ https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com β€” Automotive batteries Β· 2026-11-03*
