What to look at before buying the D24
- Measure the space: the D24 takes up 242 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L2).
- The D24 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
- With 60 Ah, the D24 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- The D24 delivers 540 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the D24 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
Lead-acid technology in the D24
Inside, the D24 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. It is a robust, well-known technology with a good capacity-to-price ratio, and still the basis of most cars, trucks and traction equipment.
Frequently asked questions about the Varta D24
D24 or D15: which one suits me?
Compared with the D24, the Varta D15 has 3 Ah more and 70 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 610 A or more, choose the D15; if it says 540 A or less, the D24 is enough. Both measure 242 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
Varta D24 or D43: what is the difference?
Only the polarity: the D24 has the positive terminal on the right and the D43 the positive terminal on the left. Capacity (60 Ah), cranking power and dimensions are identical. That is why their ETNs only differ in the middle group: 560 408 054 for the D24 and 560 127 054 for the D43.
Varta D24 or D59/D21: what changes?
Mainly the height: the D24 is 190 mm tall (L2) and the Varta D59 175 mm (LB2), with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the D59 offers 60 Ah and 540 A against 60 Ah and 540 A. The Varta D21 is 175 mm tall, with 61 Ah and 600 A. Before choosing between the D24 and the D59, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.
What does the code 560 408 054 on the Varta D24 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 560408054. The first three digits (560) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 60 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (408) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (054) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 540 A. Its twin with the positive terminal on the other side, the Varta D43, is 560 127 054: only the middle group changes.
Can the Varta D24 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
No. The D24 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM.
How much does the Varta D24 weigh?
13.97 kg, with 60 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta D15 (63 Ah) weighs 14.72 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Varta D24?
With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat PB-60.0, Exide EB620 and Tudor TB620. As the D24 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works. Its Bosch equivalent is the Bosch S4 005 (same ETN code 560 408 054). Bosch is not part of our catalogue; we list it so you can compare.
