«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 5 Series owners mostly buy Varta A4 Dynamic AGM 105Ah (189.30 €), Varta I1 Dynamic SLI 110Ah (123.70 €) and Varta A5 Dynamic AGM 95Ah (192.59 €) 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 64.95 € and 192.59 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
- By the registration year: 5 Touring V (2017-2025); 5 Touring Van (2017-2025); 5 V (2016-2025); 5 Touring IV (2009-2017); 5 IV (2009-2016); 5 Gran Turismo (2009-2017). 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.
- On most versions, yes: disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive, release the clamp and fit the new battery in reverse order. On Start-Stop models or cars with battery management (BMS), register the new battery with a diagnostic tool so the ECU adjusts charging.
