Check in seconds by entering your **registration** in our finder. ### Format and fitting of the Varta 12N14-3A In terms of format, the Varta 12N14-3A measures 136 × 91 × 166 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 5,14 kg. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables end up on: it is the detail behind most mistaken purchases, so it is worth checking before ordering. Before replacing it, measure the space your current battery sits in: if it matches on all three dimensions and on the terminal layout, the swap is direct and needs no adapters. ### The Varta 12N14-3A and the Powersports SLI Freshpack range The **Powersports SLI Freshpack** range brings together Varta's conventional motorcycle batteries, supplied dry with the acid packed separately (freshpack) so they are activated on installation, guaranteeing maximum freshness. They deliver powerful starting and good vibration resistance for classic motorbikes, scooters and quads: the direct replacement for traditional lead-acid motorcycle batteries. Unlike a car battery, what matters here is power density in a minimal size and resistance to vibration. It is the direct substitute for the original motorcycle battery, with the advantage of reliable starting even in the cold and after periods of inactivity. ### Why choose a Varta battery Varta is an original equipment (OEM) supplier to a good share of Europe's car manufacturers: many cars leave the factory with a Varta fitted. Buying a replacement means, in most cases, refitting the original battery with the same quality and the brand's official warranty. 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'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 12N14-3A battery comes with **a 6-month official warranty** from the manufacturer. ### Care and maintenance If the bike goes unused for long spells, a trickle charger greatly extends the battery's life and prevents sulphation. Storing it somewhere dry and checking the terminals at the start of each season helps it start first time. Motorcycle batteries suffer in the cold and when left idle: in winter, a maintenance charger stops the battery from discharging completely. With this care, it will typically deliver well over several years of service. ### Technical sheet Download the official technical sheet for this battery with all the manufacturer data.

Three ways: 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 for the YB14L-A2; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00 CET). ### How is the Varta YB14L-A2 battery installed in the vehicle? In most motorcycles 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 motorcycles with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How many months of warranty does the YB14L-A2 motorcycle model cover? This motorcycle battery includes 6 months of official manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. It is normal that warranty is shorter on bikes, jet skis and quads: the use pattern (with prolonged standstills) accelerates the battery's natural sulfation. Practical tip: connect a trickle charger if the bike will be idle for more than 2 weeks — it dramatically extends battery life. ### How long does Varta YB14L-A2 delivery take? In mainland Spain and Portugal it arrives in 24 h if you order before 17:00 and the battery is in stock — it leaves the same day and arrives the next business day. Afternoon or weekend orders ship the next business day. For Balearics, Canaries and other EU destinations, allow 2-5 days. Shipping cost is calculated in the cart based on destination and service (standard, express, cash on delivery). Tracking number is sent by email + SMS as soon as the parcel ships. ### Are returns accepted on this battery? Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to return it. In mainland Spain and Portugal returns are FREE — we cover the return shipping cost via prepaid label. In other EU countries the return shipping cost is the customer's. It must arrive in its original packaging with no signs of installation. If it was defective, the warranty covers replacement even after the 14-day period. ### What is the price of this battery? The current price at baterias.com is 123,46 € (VAT included; 102,03 € excl. VAT), updated every 24 hours. The applicable VAT may vary with the destination country and is confirmed in the cart. Shipping cost is calculated in the cart based on destination and chosen service (standard, express, cash on delivery). ### Where can I buy the Varta YB14L-A2 battery? At baterias.com — authorised distributor with real stock, 24h delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal if you order before 17:00, and full manufacturer warranty. Shipping cost is calculated in the cart based on destination and chosen service (standard, express, cash on delivery). Secure payment by card, Bizum, PayPal or bank transfer. If you choose at-home installation, our technician will take the used battery and dispose of it through an authorised collection point. ### How long does the Varta YB14L-A2 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Varta YB14L-A2 is 4 to 6 years in regular motorcycle 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 are the dimensions of the Varta YB14L-A2 battery? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 136×91×166 mm — also written as 136x91x166 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your motorcycle before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals. ### How much does the Varta YB14L-A2 battery weigh? It weighs 4,4 kg. Most of the weight is lead. If you plan to fit it yourself, use gloves and a carrying strap (AGM batteries are slightly heavier than conventional due to the absorbent glass-mat fibre). ### How many amps does the Varta YB14L-A2 battery have? Nominal capacity 14 Ah[?cca: and [cold-cranking amps 190 A]] at 12 V. Ah measure the total energy available (autonomy); CCA (also written A in cold or EN under the European standard) measure the instantaneous power to crank the starter motor. A battery with more CCA starts better in winter; one with more Ah keeps accessories on for longer. ### Will the Varta YB14L-A2 battery fit my motorcycle? 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 9:00–18:00 CET). The YB14L-A2 fits 105 verified vehicle versions in our database. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Varta YB14L-A2? 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 motorcycles. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level. ### Is the YB14L-A2 model better than its equivalents from other brands? This battery and its equivalents from Bosch, Tudor or Exide are technically comparable: same dimensions, same voltage and same capacity. The differences are warranty (Varta and Bosch: 2 years; Tudor and Exide: 2 years on the equivalent line), manufacturing plant (Varta and Bosch share origin in the Clarios Group; Tudor and Exide belong to Exide Technologies) and price. For private use any of these brands will give 4-6 years of life. Compare them in the "Equivalents" section. ### What do users say about the Varta YB14L-A2 battery?
