## Quick description

Varta D47 (ETN 560 410 054, also written D 47 or 560410054): car battery with 12 V, 60 Ah and 540 A cold cranking current, case size D23 (232 × 173 × 225 mm), with the positive terminal on the right. With the positive terminal on the left, the exact counterpart is the Varta D48.

## Description

## Who the Varta D47 is for

The Varta D47 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. Its job is to start the engine in the cold with margin to spare and keep the car's electronics powered.
At 60 Ah it covers petrol compacts and small diesels, the best-selling format in Europe. Varta lists the D47 in its Dynamic SLI line. [More Varta batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/varta-batteries)

## Varta D47 vs N65, D48 and N72

The real differences between the D47 and the closest Varta models:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta D47 (this one) | 60 Ah | 540 A | 232 × 173 × 225 | right | 14.12 kg |
| Varta N65 | 65 Ah | 650 A | 232 × 173 × 225 | right | 16.63 kg |
| Varta D48 | 60 Ah | 540 A | 232 × 173 × 225 | left | 14.12 kg |
| Varta N72 | 72 Ah | 760 A | 260 × 173 × 225 | right | 18.82 kg |

- Varta N65: 5 Ah more, 110 A more cranking power, the same D23 case, EFB technology.
- The Varta D48 is the same battery with the positive terminal on the other side: choose it if your current battery has the positive terminal on the left.
- Varta N72: 12 Ah more, 220 A more cranking power, a different case (260 × 173 × 225 mm), EFB technology.

## Equivalents and alternatives to the Varta D47

Same dimensions and polarity as the D47, with similar capacity and cranking power; as a conventional battery, the D47 can also be replaced by an EFB or AGM of the same size if you want more cycles.

| Model | Technology | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kronobat PB-60.0T | Lead-acid | 60 Ah | 540 A | 232 × 173 × 225 |
| Exide EL604 | EFB | 60 Ah | 520 A | 230 × 173 × 222 |
| Tudor TL604 | EFB | 60 Ah | 520 A | 230 × 173 × 222 |

## Inside the D47: lead-acid technology

The D47 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. Avoid leaving them discharged, as they sulphate, and charge them with a charger that cuts off or switches to maintenance when finished.

## What to look at before buying the D47

- If your car has Start-Stop, the D47 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- Cold cranking: 540 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- Your current battery should say about 60 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- The D47 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
- Length, width and height of the D47: 232 × 173 × 225 mm (European case size D23).

## Frequently asked questions about the Varta D47

### Varta D47 or N65?

Compared with the D47, the Varta N65 has 5 Ah more, 110 A more cranking power and EFB technology. If your current battery says 650 A or more, choose the N65; if it says 540 A or less, the D47 is enough. Both measure 232 × 173 × 225 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### What is the difference between the Varta D47 and the D48?

They are the same battery with the terminals swapped: positive terminal on the right on the D47, positive terminal on the left on the D48. 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: 560 410 054 for the D47 and 560 411 054 for the D48.

### What does the code 560 410 054 on the Varta D47 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 560410054. 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 (410) 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 D48, is 560 411 054: only the middle group changes.

### Can the Varta D47 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

No. The D47 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM; in this same size there is the Exide EL604.

### How much does the Varta D47 weigh?

The D47 weighs 14.12 kg. For reference, the Varta N65 (65 Ah) weighs 16.63 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Varta D47?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat PB-60.0T, Exide EL604 and Tudor TL604. As the D47 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

### What case size is the Varta D47?

Case size D23: 232 × 173 × 225 mm. The D47 fits any standard D23 battery tray such as the Kronobat PB-60.0T.
