- Dual cycle: it both cranks the engine and powers auxiliary equipment.
- Ideal for motorhomes, marine use and domestic power on board.
- Tolerates deep discharges and repeated recharging without degrading.
- More endurance on board than a conventional starter battery.

Size and fitting of the Varta LFD90
In terms of format, the Varta LFD90 measures 353 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 23,73 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 LFD90 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
A good share of the vehicles on Europe's roads left the factory with a Varta fitted: the brand has been supplying the assembly lines of the major car groups for decades. Replacing with Varta means, in practice, giving the vehicle back the battery its manufacturer intended.
Varta combines more than a century of experience with Clarios's industrial production: it is the battery many manufacturers choose as standard and one of the most recommended by workshops. Like any lead-acid battery, it is 100% recyclable.
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 LFD90 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.
