Inside the D39: lead-acid technology

Inside, the D39 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the D39 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.

Before ordering the D39, check this

  • If your car has Start-Stop, the D39 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
  • Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 610 A or less, the D39 covers your engine.
  • Your current battery should say about 63 Ah; a little more is also fine.
  • With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the D39 is on the left.
  • Length, width and height of the D39: 242 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L2).

Frequently asked questions about the Varta D39

Varta D39 or D43?

Compared with the D39, the Varta D43 has 3 Ah less and 70 A less cranking power. The D39 cranks harder; the D43 is only a good option if your original battery says 540 A or less. Both measure 242 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.

What is the difference between the Varta D39 and the D15?

They are the same battery with the terminals swapped: positive terminal on the left on the D39, positive terminal on the right on the D15. Look at your current battery with the terminals facing you and pick the one that matches. That is why their ETNs only differ in the middle group: 563 401 061 for the D39 and 563 400 061 for the D15.

What does the code 563 401 061 on the Varta D39 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 563401061. The first three digits (563) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 63 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (401) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (061) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 610 A. Its twin with the positive terminal on the other side, the Varta D15, is 563 400 061: only the middle group changes.

Can the Varta D39 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

No. The D39 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM.

How much does the Varta D39 weigh?

The D39 weighs 14.78 kg. For reference, the Varta D43 (60 Ah) weighs 13.97 kg.

Which battery is equivalent to the Varta D39?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat MS-63.1, Exide EA601 and Tudor TA601. As the D39 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

What case size is the Varta D39?

Case size L2: 242 × 175 × 190 mm (Varta lists it as H5R/LN2R). The D39 fits any standard L2 battery tray such as the Kronobat MS-63.1.
