Quick answer: A VARTA AGM battery is designed for cars with automatic Start-Stop and heavy electrical loads. Choose the same capacity and size as your car: 70Ah (E39) for most mid-size European and modern cars, and 80Ah (F21) for larger and luxury cars. If your car came with AGM, you must replace it with AGM.

How to find the right size for your car
- Read the label on your current battery: capacity (Ah), cold cranking amps (CCA or EN) and type (AGM, EFB or flooded).
- Measure the dimensions and check the terminal layout.
- If it says AGM, do not downgrade to a flooded battery, because the charging system is programmed for AGM.
- Some European cars need the new battery registered with the car's computer after fitting.
70Ah or 80Ah?
The rule: go back to the original capacity. A slightly larger capacity is possible if it fits and needs no different coding, but it adds little if the charging system cannot fully charge it. If your car has many electrical add-ons (screens, fridge, lighting), ask us first.
Why is AGM more expensive than a regular battery?
An AGM battery uses absorbent glass mat separators, so it handles the frequent charge and discharge of Start-Stop, does not leak and resists vibration better. For a full comparison, read: Car battery guide: AGM vs EFB vs flooded.
Signs your battery is near the end
- Slow, heavy cranking, especially in the morning.
- Start-Stop stops working.
- Random electrical warning lights on the dashboard.
- The battery is over 3 years old in our hot climate.
A weak battery can even affect the gearbox. Read: How a weak car battery affects the automatic transmission.
Tips to make your battery last in the heat
- Park in the shade whenever possible.
- Do not leave the car unused for weeks, or use a maintenance charger.
- Test the battery every 6 months, especially before summer.
