Before ordering the D54, check this
- The D54 needs 278 × 175 × 175 mm of space (European case size LB3): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
- Polarity of the D54: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Capacity of the D54: 65 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
- Cold cranking: 650 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- The D54 is an EFB: it suits cars that had an EFB or a conventional battery. If yours had an AGM, fit another AGM.
Inside the D54: EFB technology
Inside, the D54 uses EFB technology, a reinforced version of the flooded battery. It is the choice for cars with basic Start-Stop.
Frequently asked questions about the Varta D54
Varta D54 or N70?
Compared with the D54, the Varta N70 has 5 Ah more and 110 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 760 A or more, choose the N70; if it says 650 A or less, the D54 is enough. Mind the space: the N70 measures 278 × 175 × 190 mm.
What does the code 565 500 065 on the Varta D54 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 565500065. The first three digits (565) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 65 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (500) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (065) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 650 A.
Can the Varta D54 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
