Varta A1 vs A2: which one to choose?
The real differences between the A1 and the closest Varta models:
| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta A1 (this one) | 210 Ah | 1,200 A | 518 × 276 × 242 | 61.3 kg |
| Varta A2 | 170 Ah | 1,000 A | 513 × 223 × 223 | 47.49 kg |
- Varta A2: 40 Ah less, 200 A less cranking power, a different case (513 × 223 × 223 mm).
What it means that the A1 is AGM
The A1 is AGM: the electrolyte is absorbed in glass fibre mats, so it is sealed and spill-proof. It withstands many more cycles than a conventional lead battery, at the cost of being more sensitive to overcharging.
Before ordering the A1, check this
- Measure the space: the A1 takes up 518 × 276 × 242 mm.
- Capacity of the A1: 210 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
- The A1 delivers 1,200 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.

Frequently asked questions about the Varta A1
A1 or A2: which one suits me?
Compared with the A1, the Varta A2 has 40 Ah less and 200 A less cranking power. The A1 cranks harder; the A2 is only a good option if your original battery says 1,000 A or less. Mind the space: the A2 measures 513 × 223 × 223 mm.
What does the code 710 901 120 on the Varta A1 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 710901120. The first three digits (710) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 210 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (901) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (120) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 1,200 A.
How much does the Varta A1 weigh?
61.3 kg, with 210 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta A2 (170 Ah) weighs 47.49 kg.
