Varta LED80 Professional Dual Purpose EFB 80Ah 800A 12V Battery

The Varta LED80 battery is the 12 V, 80 Ah model delivering 800 A of cold cranking power (EN), from Varta's Professional Dual Purpose EFB range, designed for motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment. It replaces the original battery in vehicles with the 314 × 175 × 190 mm format without any modifications: the same 80 Ah capacity and the same terminal layout (positive on the right).

• 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 LED80 battery

With 80 Ah, the Varta LED80 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 21.59 kg and has a B13 hold-down.

Format and fitting of the Varta LED80

Its external dimensions are 314 × 175 × 190 mm and it weighs 21.59 kg. The positive terminal on the right 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 B13 hold-down, the system that anchors it to the vehicle's battery tray. For the swap to be direct, the space your current battery occupies must match those three dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise you will need adapters or the hold-down will have to change.

The Varta LED80 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 — the typical pattern in leisure and boating use — 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 — the same performance as the factory-fitted unit — 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 LED80 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.
