Question 1

How do I know if a battery is suitable for my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

To know if a battery works for my vehicle we have to look at the following parameters: 1) First, the battery technology. This is especially relevant if your vehicle is equipped with the start-stop system, or if your application requires deep discharge of the battery. If your vehicle is conventional, does not have much electronics and is of some age, it is very likely that it has a conventional acid battery. On the contrary, your vehicle is equipped with a start-stop system, there are two main technologies: AGM or EFB. To find out if the technology is compatible with our vehicle, we can consult the vehicle manual (in some cases it specifies it) or see if the original battery has any of these acronyms or texts: AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat), EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) . If your vehicle has a start-stop system, has high energy demands or requires deep discharges, we recommend an AGM technology battery. 2) Secondly, the measurement of the battery is very important, since the dimensions will determine whether we can install the battery in the space that we have reserved for its installation. Note that battery measurements refer to the maximum available volume. Any gap or flange, terminals, handles, etc ... will be included in the measurements provided by the manufacturer. In this way, if we have a gap greater than the measurements of the battery, we are guaranteed that it will fit in that gap. 3) Third, we have to look at the polarity of the battery. That is, where does the positive pole of the battery bear. As the batteries can be installed with the terminals "facing" the conductor or "facing" towards the headlights, the convention is to verify the polarity of the battery by placing ourselves on the side closest to the terminals (as if we "glued" the terminals to our body) 4) Finally there are other important parameters for a good choice of battery: Battery usage: Batteries "suffer" if left unused. Therefore, the less the vehicle is used, the better the battery we must install. Vehicle electrical equipment: if we have a lot of electronics in the vehicle, we recommend looking for a battery with a high capacity

Question 2

When will I receive my battery?

Accepted Answer

The batteries are sent by an external courier service for which we have contracted a 24-hour delivery service that, under normal circumstances, they are complying. In addition, after each order we send you a link so that you can track your order and know at all times what situation it is in. This 24-hour delivery service is met for batteries that meet the following conditions: - They weigh less than 40 kilos - Are suitable to send by express courier - The destination is Spain and Portugal (peninsula). For those cases in which the destination is located outside the Iberian Peninsula (Ceuta / Melilla, Mallorca, France, Italy, Germany, etc ...), the overall weight of the shipment is greater than 40 kilos, or due to the characteristics of the Product must be palletized, it will be sent by the transport agency that offers the best delivery time. However, we must warn you that there are some situations in which the delivery time could be affected: - Orders placed after 6:00 p.m. Those orders are very likely to suffer a delay in delivery due to not being able to be dispatched on the day. - We handle a multitude of orders and in some rare exceptions, we may have a stock out of stock. In those cases, the battery would be sent by some of the distributors with whom we collaborate and in that case, the delivery times may undergo some modifications. - Destination outside the peninsula or in towns far from the provincial capitals. In these cases, the distribution is not usually as agile as the orders made to the provincial capitals in the peninsula. - Shipments to Portugal. Shipments to Portugal, on some occasions, tend to take a little more delay in shipments. - Orders placed in high sales seasons, such as Christmas, Black Friday, etc ... Although our obligation is to warn you of these situations, which we consider exceptional, we also have to tell you that, currently, our delivery rate in 24 hours is 87%, reaching close to 95% in provincial capitals. However, if you urgently need to receive a battery, we recommend that you contact our customer service, who will do everything possible to receive the battery as soon as possible.

Question 5

What features do the new Varta A4, A5, A6, A7 and A8 battery models have?

Accepted Answer

Varta has launched a new range of batteries with the xEV badge to replace the traditional range of AGM batteries. This is a commercial approach intended to indicate to the market that the batteries manufactured by AGM technology are not exclusively used for start-stop vehicles and that they can be used in electric and hybrid vehicles. Therefore, the old reference in Varta (models D52, E39, F21, G14 and H15) can be replaced without any problem by their equivalent models in the new range (models A8, A7, A6, A5 and A4) since the benefits and the characteristics do not change. In the following table we indicate the equivalence in references of the new models with the old ones: Old Reference New Reference VARTA D52 VARTA A8 VARTA E39 VARTA A7 VARTA F21 VARTA A6 VARTA G14 VARTA A5 VARTA H15 VARTA A4
