Format and fitting of the Varta YB30L-B

The Varta YB30L-B is made in the 168 × 132 × 176 mm format and weighs 9,78 kg. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes the most purchasing mistakes, so it is worth checking before ordering. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal positions before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

The Varta YB30L-B 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.

On two wheels, vibration and extreme temperatures take a heavy toll on the battery. This range reinforces the internal plate mounting and seals the unit to withstand that use, delivering the instant burst of cranking power a motorbike or quad engine needs after weeks standing idle.

Why choose a Varta battery

Choosing Varta means sticking with the very reference the vehicle manufacturer approved in the first place. Against own-brand labels, the difference lies not in the purchase price but in how many winters the battery lasts before leaving you stranded.

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 assure.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Varta YB30L-B 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.
