Fitting and everyday care
Rough passages give boat batteries a beating that a car battery never sees. Check the charge splitter or relay after fitting new batteries. Leaving the charger on the wrong chemistry setting can quietly overcharge or undercharge a whole season.

How AGM batteries work and how to look after them
Lead plates in AGM batteries are often slightly thinner than in flooded types. Because nothing can spill, AGM batteries can live inside a cabin, a boot or under a seat. Leaving a glass-mat battery flat for weeks invites sulphation.

About the Varta LA70
If the logbook says Varta LA70, here are the numbers for the replacement. Weighing 20.3 kg, it is worth planning how to lift it into a cramped locker. Matching a bank is easier when every model keeps its own code.
With 70Ah, it suits smaller engines and machines with few accessories.

Quick compatibility checklist
- ✓ Measure the space available: the case takes up 278 × 175 × 190 mm, and a few millimetres too many can stop the hold-down from closing.
- ✓ Orientation matters: positive on the right-hand side on this model. Stand facing the long side with the terminals nearest you to compare.
- ✓ The capacity rating, 70Ah, should suit the consumers you run. Lots of electrical equipment calls for the higher end.
