The Varta D43 at a glance
The Varta D43 is a starter battery for cars without Start-Stop: it delivers the current the starter motor needs and then powers lights, control units and audio with the engine off. The D43 covers the daily routine of a car without automatic engine stop: cold starts, short trips and loads with the ignition off.
At 60 Ah it covers petrol compacts and small diesels, the best-selling format in Europe. Varta lists the D43 in its Dynamic SLI line. More Varta batteries

Before ordering the D43, check this
- Measure the space: the D43 takes up 242 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L2).
- The D43 has the positive terminal on the left: compare it with your current battery.
- With 60 Ah, the D43 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 540 A or less, the D43 covers your engine.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the D43 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
Lead-acid technology in the D43
The D43 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. In cars without energy management, the D43 needs no special registration: just connect it.
Frequently asked questions about the Varta D43
Varta D43 or D39?
Compared with the D43, the Varta D39 has 3 Ah more and 70 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 610 A or more, choose the D39; if it says 540 A or less, the D43 is enough. Both measure 242 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
What is the difference between the Varta D43 and the D24?
They are the same battery with the terminals swapped: positive terminal on the left on the D43, positive terminal on the right on the D24. 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: 560 127 054 for the D43 and 560 408 054 for the D24.
What does the code 560 127 054 on the Varta D43 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 560127054. 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 (127) 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 D24, is 560 408 054: only the middle group changes.
Can the Varta D43 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
No. The D43 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM.
How much does the Varta D43 weigh?
The D43 weighs 13.97 kg. For reference, the Varta D39 (63 Ah) weighs 14.78 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Varta D43?
With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat PB-60.1, Exide EB621 and Tudor TB621. As the D43 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.
What case size is the Varta D43?
Case size L2: 242 × 175 × 190 mm (Varta lists it as H5R/L2R). The D43 fits any standard L2 battery tray such as the Kronobat PB-60.1.
