All its energy is designed to crank the engine reliably, not to run long loads: for that, fit a separate service bank. ## Why this marine starting battery? - **Marine design** built for boat swell and vibration - **Starting in demanding conditions** maximum cranking power - **Sealed and safe** maintenance-free even when the boat rolls 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 140 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 800 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 513×189×223 mm ⚙️ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left ⚖️ Weight 37,12 kg 🏷️ Model Professional Starter ## Description ## Varta LFD140 Professional Dual Purpose 140Ah 800A 12V Battery 12*V* Voltage 140*Ah* Capacity 800*A* Cold cranking 36,62*kg* Weight The **Varta LFD140 battery** is the **12 V**, **140 Ah** model delivering **800 A** of cold cranking power (EN) from Varta's **Professional Dual Purpose** range, designed for motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment. It replaces the original battery in vehicles with the 513 × 189 × 223 mm format without any modifications: the same 140 Ah capacity and the same terminal layout (positive on the left). - Ideal for motorhomes, marine use and domestic power on board. - Dual cycle: it both cranks the engine and powers auxiliary equipment. - More endurance on board than a conventional starter battery. - Tolerates deep discharges and repeated recharging without degrading. ### Applications of the Varta LFD140 battery Designed for motorhomes, boats and auxiliary power equipment, the Varta LFD140 is a direct replacement when you need its same 140 Ah capacity and format. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference weighs 36,62 kg and has a type 1 terminal and a B00 hold-down. ### Size and fitting of the Varta LFD140 Its external dimensions are 513 × 189 × 223 mm and it weighs 36,62 kg. The positive terminal on the left 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 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 position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery. ### The Varta LFD140 and the Professional Dual Purpose range The **Professional Dual Purpose** range consists of dual-purpose batteries: they serve both to crank the engine and to power the on-board services, a balance conceived for leisure and marine use. They are the answer when you want a single battery that starts reliably and at the same time sustains equipment draw with the engine off, without going as far as the extreme cycling of a deep cycle unit. Unlike a pure starter battery, this range tolerates deep discharges and repeated recharging without degrading: exactly what a motorhome or a boat that draws power with the engine off needs. It therefore combines cranking and domestic duty in a single dual-cycle battery. ### Why choose a Varta battery Manufactured by Clarios to German standards, Varta is one of the world's benchmark brands in starter batteries and an OEM supplier to the leading car makers. Choosing it as a replacement guarantees specifications equal to or better than the originals. Varta batteries are made under the Clarios group with German technology and quality controls that make them one of the best-selling choices in Europe. As a lead battery, it is 100% recyclable through any collection point. 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 LFD140 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. ### Technical sheet Download the official technical sheet for this battery with all the manufacturer data.

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 LFD140 battery? It measures 513×189×223 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height. Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close. ### Which side is the positive terminal on this battery? It has the positive on the left (polarity). Put it in front of you, terminals towards you: the post with the red ring and the + sign is the positive. A change of polarity from the original means longer cables or a reconfigured system and can cause a short circuit: check it before ordering. ### Varta LFD140 or Exide EP1200: which one to choose? It is the AGM of the same size: sealed, maintenance-free and with far more discharge cycles than the LFD140. Compared with the LFD140 it has 100 A of cold cranking less. It costs 88,40 € more. Recommended for cyclic or stationary use, or when the equipment sits tilted; for occasional use the LFD140 does the job. ### Varta LFD140 or Exide ER660: which one to choose? The Exide alternative that fits where the LFD140 goes, with the same polarity. Compared with the LFD140 it has 50 A of cold cranking less. It costs 56,70 € more. A straight swap with nothing to adapt; the difference is the price and the brand you prefer. ## Compatible vehicles The Varta LFD140 fits 6 vehicles (7 engine versions), including the Wauquiez Saloon 40/ 47 (1990–2025), Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH Bavaria Bavaria 30,33,37,39 (1990–2025), Najadvarvet AB Najad 355 (1990–2025) and Dufour Yachts Dufour 44 / 455 (1990–2025). | Make | Model | Engine | Years | |---|---|---|---| | Wauquiez | Saloon | [40/ 47](https://baterias.com/gb/boat-batteries/wauquiez/saloon/40-47) | 1990–2025 | | Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH | Bavaria | [Bavaria 30,33,37,39](https://baterias.com/gb/boat-batteries/bavaria-yachtbau-gmbh/bavaria/bavaria-30333739) | 1990–2025 | | Najadvarvet AB | Najad | [355](https://baterias.com/gb/boat-batteries/najadvarvet-ab/najad/355) | 1990–2025 | | Dufour Yachts | Dufour | [44 / 455](https://baterias.com/gb/boat-batteries/dufour-yachts/dufour/44-455) | 1990–2025 | | Wauquiez | Centurion | [40 S / 45 S](https://baterias.com/gb/boat-batteries/wauquiez/centurion/40-s-45-s) | 1990–2025 | | Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH | 38 Cruiser | [38 Cruiser](https://baterias.com/gb/boat-batteries/bavaria-yachtbau-gmbh/38-cruiser/38-cruiser) | 1990–2025 | | Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH | Bavaria | [40vision](https://baterias.com/gb/boat-batteries/bavaria-yachtbau-gmbh/bavaria/40vision) | 1990–2025 | ## Equivalent batteries - [EXIDE ER660](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-er660-12v-140ah-750a) - [EXIDE EN900](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-en900-12v-140ah-800a) - [EXIDE EP1200](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ep1200-12v-140ah-700a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — automotive battery specialists since 2012. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-11-07*
