Questions and answers
Any tips for keeping a spare battery?
Yes, but all batteries self-discharge slowly. Check the voltage every few months and recharge if needed.
How big and heavy is this Varta battery?
Measurements are 187 × 127 × 227 mm, and it weighs 9.49 kg. Check the height under the bonnet or seat as well.
How much capacity and starting power does the Varta A14 offer?
The cranking figure is 330A, measured to the EN standard, and the capacity is 40Ah. If your engine is large or you live somewhere cold, choose the higher end of what your car allows.
Can I connect several of these in series or parallel?
Yes, if they are identical. Two 12V units of 40Ah in series give double the voltage; in parallel they give double the capacity at 12V.
The lead-acid technology explained
Plates made of lead and lead dioxide react with the acid. Tractors and trucks use robust flooded batteries. Top up only with distilled water, after charging, never above the mark.

Varta A14 in everyday use
Classic cars stored in a garage all winter are famous for flat batteries in spring. Fit the plastic terminal covers back after tightening the clamps. Ordering a battery whose plus post sits on the opposite corner is the most common mistake, and the cables simply will not reach.
