How AGM batteries work and how to look after them
Open up an AGM battery in your imagination and you would find the acid soaked into thin glass-fibre sheets squeezed against each plate. Recharging is quick with AGM, handy for vehicles that do short trips. Charge an AGM battery on a programme made for AGM, not a generic setting.

Common questions about the Varta A1
Can a battery be stored before use?
Yes, gradually. Lead batteries lose a little charge each month, lithium much less. A quick charge before use is a good idea.
How big and heavy is this Varta battery?
At 518 × 276 × 242 mm and 61.3 kg, it needs a tray of that size and a careful lift.
How much capacity and starting power does the Varta A1 offer?
The cranking figure is 1200A, measured to the EN standard, and the capacity is 210Ah. If your engine is large or you live somewhere cold, choose the higher end of what your car allows.
