Varta B24: dimensions and ratings

Practical advice for cars and vans

A car parked outside through a cold snap asks far more of its battery than one kept in a garage. Clean any white crust off the clamps with warm water and a little bicarbonate before fitting the new battery. A battery more than five winters old is living on borrowed time in most cars.

What lead-acid means for you

Some lead-acid batteries have removable caps, others are sealed for life. Flooded traction batteries keep golf buggies and forklifts running for years. Check the electrolyte level a few times a year if the battery has removable caps.

Will the Varta B24 fit?

• ✓ Cranking power on cold mornings: 300A. Big engines in harsh winters call for a generous figure.
• ✓ Check that the alternator or controller suits lead-acid.
• ✓ Make room for 220 × 135 × 225 mm, including clearance above the posts.
