Where the Varta A5 fits
The Varta A5 is a battery for cars with Start-Stop: it withstands many more starting and partial-discharge cycles than a conventional battery and powers the electronics every time the engine stops at the lights. In a Start-Stop car, the A5 keeps the radio, climate control and lights running with the engine off without losing capacity.
At 95 Ah it moves into large diesels, SUVs, vans and cars with heavy electrical equipment. Varta lists the A5 in its Dynamic AGM line. More Varta batteries

What it means that the A5 is AGM
The A5 is AGM: the electrolyte is absorbed in glass fibre mats, so it is sealed and spill-proof. Being sealed, the A5 can be fitted in the boot or under a seat with no risk of spills.
What to look at before buying the A5
- The A5 is AGM: it replaces an AGM or an EFB of the same size. You can swap an EFB for an AGM, but not an AGM for an EFB.
- The A5 delivers 850 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- With 95 Ah, the A5 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the A5 is on the right.
- Measure the space: the A5 takes up 353 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L5).
Frequently asked questions about the Varta A5
Varta A5 or A6?
Compared with the A5, the Varta A6 has 15 Ah less and 50 A less cranking power. The A5 cranks harder; the A6 is only a good option if your original battery says 800 A or less. Mind the space: the A6 measures 315 × 175 × 190 mm.
Does the Varta A5 replace the Varta G14?
Yes. The G14 is the previous name of this battery: Varta renamed it A5, with the same AGM technology, 95 Ah, 850 A cold cranking and a 353 × 175 × 190 mm case. If your car had an G14, the A5 is its direct replacement.
What does the code 595 901 085 on the Varta A5 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 595901085. The first three digits (595) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 95 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 (085) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 850 A.
Can the Varta A5 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
Yes. As an AGM battery, the A5 handles automatic engine stop and brake energy recovery, and it can replace an EFB of the same size.
How much does the Varta A5 weigh?
The A5 weighs 25.73 kg. For reference, the Varta A6 (80 Ah) weighs 22.56 kg.
