Varta LFS60 12V 60Ah 540A is a starting battery for boats and motorhomes, with a case reinforced against the vibration of mooring and cruising. 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 designbuilt for boat swell and vibration
- Starting in demanding conditionsmaximum cranking power
- Sealed and safemaintenance-free even when the boat rolls
Where it fits: the Varta LFS60 is one of our boat batteries, belongs to our Varta batteries and by capacity it sits among our 60Ah batteries.

Varta LFS60 Professional Starter 60Ah 540A 12V Battery
The Varta LFS60 battery is the 12 V, 60 Ah model delivering 540 A of cold cranking power (EN) from Varta's Professional Starter range, designed for starting marine engines and recreational vehicles in demanding conditions. Measuring 242 × 175 × 190 mm and with the positive terminal on the right, it is the direct replacement for vehicles that leave the factory with a 60 Ah battery in this format.
- Optimised for starting in demanding conditions: maximum power at the moment of cranking.
- Rugged construction, resistant to vibration and to the marine environment.
- Reliable starting of marine engines and recreational vehicles, in the cold too.
- Direct replacement for the original starter battery in marine and leisure use.
Applications of the Varta LFS60 battery
The Varta LFS60 covers the needs of starting marine engines and recreational vehicles in demanding conditions with 60 Ah of capacity and a construction built for that use. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference weighs 14,6 kg and has a type 1 terminal and a B13 hold-down.
Size and fitting of the Varta LFS60
The Varta LFS60 is made in the 242 × 175 × 190 mm format and weighs 14,6 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. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.
The Varta LFS60 and the Professional Starter range
The Professional Starter range consists of pure starter batteries for leisure and marine use, built to give marine engines and recreational vehicles a powerful, dependable start.
Unlike deep-cycle or dual-purpose units, they are optimised for cranking rather than for powering equipment over long periods: the choice when all you need is to fire up the engine with confidence.
Unlike deep-cycle or dual-purpose batteries, this range is optimised for one thing only: delivering all its power at the moment of cranking, even with a cold engine or after a season moored up.
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.
Behind Varta is Clarios, one of the largest manufacturers of starter batteries in the world and a supplier to the assembly lines of numerous car brands. That German engineering heritage translates into reliable starting year after year.
Varta is Europe's leading manufacturer of starter batteries: its production volume and quality controls guarantee consistent reliability batch after batch, something own-brand makers cannot always assure.
Manufacturer's warranty
The Varta LFS60 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a starting or a service (leisure) battery?
Starting: it delivers a high current for a few seconds to crank the engine. 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 LFS60 battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 242×175×190 mm — also written as 242x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L2 case size — 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 LFS60 battery have?
Polarity: positive on the right. 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 LFS60 or Varta N60: which one to choose?
A technology step up in the same size: more charge and discharge cycles than the LFS60. Compared with the LFS60 it has 100 A of cold cranking more. It costs 14,70 € less. Pays off in frequent cyclic use; for occasional use the LFS60 is enough.
Varta LFS60 or Varta A8: which one to choose?
It is the AGM of the same size: sealed, maintenance-free and with far more discharge cycles than the LFS60. Compared with the LFS60 it has 140 A of cold cranking more. It costs 1,30 € more. Recommended for cyclic or stationary use, or when the equipment sits tilted; for occasional use the LFS60 does the job.
