«Baterías muy apropiadas para instalar en un barco. Mucha resistencia a descargas profundas, cuando se usa como batería auxiliar para dar voltaje a todos los elementos del barco. Buen amperaje para arrancar motor intraborda de 50 C.V. Resist»

Frequently asked questions
- It depends on the engine. BMW 1 Series owners mostly buy Varta A5 Dynamic AGM 95Ah (192.59 €), Varta A6 Dynamic AGM 80Ah (160.45 €) and Varta F18 Dynamic SLI 85Ah (97.80 €) from us. The table shows the recommended battery for each engine with its price (VAT included) and a link to its page; with your number plate or VIN we tell you the exact one in seconds.
- Between 54.40 € and 192.59 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM, EFB). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
- By the registration year: 1 V (2019-2025); 1 Van (2015-2019); 1 III (2011-2019); 1 IV (2011-2019); 1 Convertible (2007-2013); 1 II (2006-2012). If your year falls in the overlap between two generations, tell them apart by body type (hatchback, estate or coupé) or use the plate finder, which settles it with no doubt.
- Standard delivery to mainland Spain and Portugal takes 1-2 working days; other EU countries 4-7 working days. Each product page shows the exact lead time and whether express delivery is available.
- Typical signs: sluggish cranking in the cold, headlights dimming on start-up, a battery warning on the dash or electronics resetting. A workshop can check resting voltage (below 12.4 V means discharged) and cranking capacity in a minute.
