The Varta E13 at a glance
The Varta E13 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 E13 covers the daily routine of a car without automatic engine stop: cold starts, short trips and loads with the ignition off.
At 70 Ah it is the usual size for compact diesels and mid-size petrol saloons. Varta lists the E13 in its Dynamic SLI line. More Varta batteries

What to look at before buying the E13
- Measure the space: the E13 takes up 278 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L3).
- The E13 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
- Your current battery should say about 70 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 640 A or less, the E13 covers your engine.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the E13 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
What it means that the E13 is lead-acid
The E13 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. In cars without energy management, the E13 needs no special registration: just connect it.
Frequently asked questions about the Varta E13
Varta E13 or E11?
Compared with the E13, the Varta E11 has 4 Ah more and 40 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 680 A or more, choose the E11; if it says 640 A or less, the E13 is enough. Both measure 278 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
Varta E13 or E9/E43: what changes?
Mainly the height: the E13 is 190 mm tall (L3) and the Varta E9 175 mm (LB3), with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the E9 offers 70 Ah and 640 A against 70 Ah and 640 A. The Varta E43 is 175 mm tall, with 72 Ah and 680 A. Before choosing between the E13 and the E9, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.
What does the code 570 409 064 on the Varta E13 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 570409064. The first three digits (570) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 70 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (409) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (064) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 640 A.
Can the Varta E13 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
No. The E13 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM.
