The Varta 6N11A-3A and the Powersports SLI Freshpack range

The Powersports SLI Freshpack series comprises Varta's lead-acid motorcycle batteries supplied with the electrolyte packed separately ("freshpack" format): they are filled and activated at the moment of fitting, which ensures the battery reaches the workshop in peak condition.

It is the go-to option for motorcycles, scooters and quads with conventional starting: a strong cranking peak, tolerance to vibration and a keen price, with Varta's manufacturing reliability.

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

When a workshop recommends Varta, it is not down to marketing: it is one of the brands with the lowest return rates in the sector, with application coverage spanning practically the entire European fleet, from the city car to the commercial vehicle.

Varta batteries are made under the Clarios group with German technology and quality controls that make them one of the best-selling choices in Europe. As a lead battery, it is 100% recyclable through any collection point.

Varta is Europe's leading manufacturer of starter batteries: its production volume and quality controls guarantee consistent reliability batch after batch, something own-brand labels cannot always promise.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Varta 6N11A-3A battery comes with the official manufacturer warranty.

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.
