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.

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.
