Questions buyers ask about the Varta YB18L-A
Any tips for keeping a spare battery?
It is a good idea. All batteries lose some charge on the shelf, so a top-up before fitting helps.
What size is the Varta YB18L-A and how much does it weigh?
Overall it is 181 × 92 × 164 mm (L × W × H) and tips the scales at 5.64 kg. Weight is a good clue to how much active material is inside.
How do capacity and cranking amps compare with my old battery?
Rated 200A for cold starts and 18Ah in capacity, it will suit engines whose manufacturer specifies equal or lower values. Big diesels in cold climates benefit from extra margin.
Can I connect several of these in series or parallel?
Voltage is 12V, capacity 18Ah. Check your equipment runs on the same voltage before ordering.
lead-acid: how it works
A classic lead-acid battery has lead plates sitting in liquid sulphuric acid. Flooded traction batteries last years with regular watering. Store flooded batteries charged and recharge every few months.
