Getting the best from the Varta LED240
A caravan with a motor mover asks for big bursts of current. Keep the engine battery and the domestic bank separate, linked by a splitter or a DC-DC charger. A motor mover that struggles may be a sign of a weak battery.
How EFB batteries work and how to look after them
From the outside, an EFB looks much like an ordinary car battery. City cars that stop at every junction suit an enhanced flooded battery well. Keep the battery upright when fitting or storing it.
Make sure it fits your vehicle or equipment
- ✓ Rated 240Ah: check that the charger or alternator in your system can refill a battery of that capacity in reasonable time.
- ✓ Starting current 1200A: look for the EN value on your old label and choose this reference only if it is equal or higher.
- ✓ Technology to match: EFB. Moving to a different chemistry may need settings changed in your system.
