Measuring 513 × 189 × 223 mm and with the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for lorries that leave the factory with a 154 Ah battery in this format. - Tolerance of the vibration of thousands of kilometres on the road. - High cranking current for large-capacity diesel engines. - Reliability through repeated starts and when powering cab equipment. - Reinforced grids and casing for the severe demands of haulage. ### Vehicles compatible with the Varta M11 battery The Varta M11 is compatible with more than 142 vehicles: it is fitted as standard or as a replacement by brands such as Fiat, New Holland, Case, Gueldner, Bourgoin and Bührer. If you are looking for a **Fiat battery** or a New Holland one in these dimensions, the M11 is one of the usual replacement references. It also appears as a replacement in vehicles from Stavostroj, Schäf, Demag, Bolinders - Volvo, International-Harvester, Yale, Challenger and Marshall, among other manufacturers. ### Size and fitting of the Varta M11 Its external dimensions are 513 × 189 × 223 mm and it weighs 39,84 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 M11 and the ProMotive SLI range The **ProMotive SLI** is Varta's starter battery range for commercial and industrial vehicles; it consolidates the former ProMotive HD and SHD names into a single series organised by technology. It delivers a high cold cranking current and a construction designed for the severe demands of heavy haulage. It is the dependable replacement for lorries, buses, tractor units and machinery working long shifts: resistance to road vibration, tolerance of cycling and guaranteed starting even after weeks standing idle. An industrial vehicle demands a high cranking current and the stamina to shrug off the vibration of thousands of kilometres. This series uses reinforced grids and a rugged construction to handle repeated starts of large diesel engines and the draw of the cab's auxiliary equipment. *This battery used to belong to Varta's **ProMotive HD** or **ProMotive SHD** range; following the brand's commercial renaming (2025), it forms part of the new **ProMotive SLI** series.* ### 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 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. 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 M11 battery comes with the **official manufacturer warranty**. One important warning for industrial vehicles: most lorries carry **two batteries wired in series** (a 24 V installation). If you replace only one, the new battery ends up working alongside the old one — which has already lost capacity and has higher internal resistance; that imbalance leaves one overcharged and the other short, shortens the life of the new unit, and the manufacturer may treat it as misuse and **void the warranty**. That is why it is always advisable to change **both batteries at the same time**. ### Care and maintenance In professional use, checking the state of charge and the battery hold-down regularly prevents breakdowns on the road. Vibration and the high temperatures of the engine bay are the factors that shorten its life the most, so secure mounting is key. Keeping the terminals clean and tight and checking the charging system extends battery life in vehicles that clock up long hours. A well-maintained battery reduces the risk of downtime caused by a no-start. ### Technical sheet Download the official technical sheet for this battery with all the manufacturer data.

In most trucks it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on this page. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On trucks with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How long does the Varta M11 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Varta M11 is 4 to 6 years in regular truck use without Start-Stop. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured. ### What size is this battery? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 513×189×223 mm — also written as 513x189x223 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your truck before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals. ### Is the M11 valid for my vehicle? Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The M11 fits 142 verified vehicle versions in our database. ### What are the equivalents of the M11 model? Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop trucks. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level. ## Compatible vehicles This battery fits 142 vehicles.
