Its 71 × 71 × 96 mm dimensions and positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 4 Ah battery fitted as standard in many motorcycles. - Performs well in the cold and after periods of inactivity. - High cranking peak in a compact, lightweight format. - Direct replacement for the original motorbike, scooter or quad battery. - Construction built to withstand the vibration typical of two-wheelers. ### Applications of the Varta 6N4-2A-2 battery Designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft, the Varta 6N4-2A-2 is a direct replacement when you need its same 4 Ah capacity and format. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference weighs 0.83 kg and has a K30 terminal. ### Format and fitting of the Varta 6N4-2A-2 Its external dimensions are 71 × 71 × 96 mm and it weighs 0.83 kg. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables sit on: it is the detail that causes the most buying mistakes, so it is worth checking before you order. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal positions before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery. ### The Varta 6N4-2A-2 and the Powersports SLI Freshpack range The **Powersports SLI Freshpack** is Varta's classic starter line for two-wheelers, with lead-acid technology and dry delivery with the acid packed separately to guarantee freshness until activation at the workshop. It covers the bulk of motorbikes, scooters and quads fitted with a conventional battery: punchy starting, resistance to the vibrations of sporty riding and direct replacement of the original battery. 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 A good share of the vehicles on Europe's roads left the factory with a Varta fitted: the brand has been supplying the assembly lines of the leading automotive groups for decades. Replacing with a Varta means, in practice, giving the vehicle back the battery its manufacturer intended. 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 6N4-2A-2 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. ### Technical sheet Download the official technical sheet for this battery with all the manufacturer data.

With a 6 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 0.5 A for its 4 Ah. High-current car chargers can damage it. If the bike is laid up for the winter, keep it on a maintenance charger. ### Does it need maintenance? Yes: it is a conventional lead-acid battery. Check the electrolyte level from time to time and, if it drops, top up with distilled water to the mark. ### How long does the Varta 6N4A-2A-4 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Varta 6N4A-2A-4 is 3 to 5 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use. 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 measurements of the 6N4A-2A-4 model? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 71×71×96 mm — also written as 71x71x96 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. ### On which side is the positive of the 6N4A-2A-4 model? Polarity: positive on the right. To identify it, place the battery in front of you with the terminals facing you and check which side the positive (+, marked with a red ring) is on. Before buying, verify the polarity matches your current battery: switching polarity forces longer cables or system reconfiguration, with short-circuit risk. ### Is the 6N4A-2A-4 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 6N4A-2A-4 fits 6 verified vehicle versions in our database. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Varta 6N4A-2A-4? 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. ## Compatible vehicles The Varta 004014001 fits 6 vehicles (13 engine versions), including the Honda XL XL 500 S (PD01) (20 kW / 27 CV) (1990–2025), Honda XL XL 250 S (L250S) (13 kW / 18 CV) (1990–2025), Honda XL XL 125 S (10 kW / 14 CV) (1990–2025) and Honda XL XL 500 S (PD01) (25 kW / 34 CV) (1990–2025). | Make | Model | Engine | Years | |---|---|---|---| | Honda | XL | [XL 500 S (PD01) (20 kW / 27 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/honda/xl/xl-500-s-pd01-20-kw-27cv) | 1990–2025 | | Honda | XL | [XL 250 S (L250S) (13 kW / 18 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/honda/xl/xl-250-s-l250s-13-kw-18cv) | 1990–2025 | | Honda | XL | [XL 125 S (10 kW / 14 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/honda/xl/xl-125-s-10-kw-14cv) | 1990–2025 | | Honda | XL | [XL 500 S (PD01) (25 kW / 34 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/honda/xl/xl-500-s-pd01-25-kw-34cv) | 1990–2025 | | Honda | XL | [XL 125 Duty (10 kW / 13 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/honda/xl/xl-125-duty-10-kw-13cv) | 1990–2025 | | Suzuki | RV | [RV 125 (6 kW / 8 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/suzuki/rv/rv-125-6-kw-8cv) | 1990–2025 | | Suzuki | TS | [TS 50 ER (TS502K) (1 kW / 2 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/suzuki/ts/ts-50-er-ts502k-1-kw-2cv) | 1990–2025 | | Honda | CB | [CB 50 J (J) (1 kW / 2 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/honda/cb/cb-50-j-j-1-kw-2cv) | 1990–2025 | | Yamaha | DT | [DT 80 MX-S (5J1) (5 kW / 7 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/yamaha/dt/dt-80-mx-s-5j1-5-kw-7cv) | 1990–2025 | | Yamaha | DT | [DT 80 MX-S (5T8) (6 kW / 8 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/yamaha/dt/dt-80-mx-s-5t8-6-kw-8cv) | 1990–2025 | | Yamaha | TT | [TT 600 N (59X) (32 kW / 44 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/yamaha/tt/tt-600-n-59x-32-kw-44cv) | 1990–2025 | | Yamaha | TT | [TT 600 (36A) (32 kW / 44 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/yamaha/tt/tt-600-36a-32-kw-44cv) | 1990–2025 | | Yamaha | DT | [DT 50 MX-S (102282, 2UM) (3 kW / 4 CV)](https://baterias.com/gb/motorcycle-batteries/yamaha/dt/dt-50-mx-s-102282-2um-3-kw-4cv) | 1990–2025 | ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — automotive battery specialists since 2012. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-10-30*
