«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 generation and engine: there are 8 compatible batteries in total, from 50 to 105 Ah and 540 to 950 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta H3 Dynamic SLI 12V 100Ah 830A, Car battery Varta G3 Dynamic SLI 12V 95Ah 800A, Car battery Varta E38 Dynamic SLI 12V 74Ah 750A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
- Between 90.20 € and 189.30 €, 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: 8 Gran Coupe (2019-2025); 8 Coupe (2018-2025); 8 Convertible (2018-2025); 8 (1990-1999). 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.
- Four to six years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last a little less in city driving because of the number of restarts, but they are built for that cycling. If the car sits for weeks or cranks slowly in the cold, have it tested.
- Yes, as long as the dimensions fit the tray and the terminal layout matches. More Ah and more cold-cranking amps do not harm the BMW 8 Series: the alternator charges it just the same and you gain margin in winter. Never go below the original values.
