About the Varta M12
If your fleet records list the Varta M12, this page has everything for the next swap. Commercial vehicles vary more in post type than cars, so the table spells it out. A phone photo of the old label is enough to order the right replacement.
Nothing unusual about 180Ah: a standard capacity for trucks and farm machinery. 1400A of cold cranking current is strong for a battery of this size.
Quick compatibility checklist
- ✓ Check the EN figure on your old label against 1400A.
- ✓ Built with lead-acid technology: if your vehicle or system was set up for another chemistry, check the charging settings first.
- ✓ A case of 513 × 223 × 223 mm must sit flat with the clamp closed.

Will the Varta M12 replace my old battery?
Measure the outgoing battery, note its terminal corner and ratings; matching figures mean a compatible swap.
Can I buy the Varta M12 online?
Yes. Each product has its own page with every published figure. Once you have confirmed the match, the order is placed entirely online.
Where is the code on my battery printed?
Look on the battery label for the part number and search for it with the brand name. That leads directly to the matching product page.
What does the Varta M12 weigh in kilograms?
46.42 kg is the listed weight. For larger batteries, a second pair of hands makes fitting safer.
About the technology: lead-acid
A classic lead-acid battery has lead plates sitting in liquid sulphuric acid. Flooded traction batteries keep golf buggies and forklifts running for years. Use a standard lead-acid profile on the charger.

Installation and maintenance tips
Forestry machines work miles from the nearest workshop. Recharge a battery that has stood unused for a month before relying on it. Mud packed around terminals hides corrosion.
