## Quick description

The Varta E23 (ETN 570 412 063, also written E 23 or 570412063) is a car battery with 12 V, 70 Ah and 630 A cold cranking current, case size D26 (261 × 175 × 220 mm), with the positive terminal on the right. If yours has the positive terminal on the left, you need the Varta E24.

## Description

## Who the Varta E23 is for

The Varta E23 is made for petrol and diesel cars without automatic engine stop. Its job is to start the engine in the cold with margin to spare and keep the car's electronics powered.
At 70 Ah it is the usual size for compact diesels and mid-size petrol saloons. In the Varta catalogue, the E23 belongs to the Dynamic SLI line. [More Varta batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/varta-batteries)

## Varta E23 vs N72, E24 and D47: differences

Torn between the E23 and another similar Varta? This is what changes:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta E23 (this one) | 70 Ah | 630 A | 261 × 175 × 220 | right | 16.09 kg |
| Varta N72 | 72 Ah | 760 A | 260 × 173 × 225 | right | 18.82 kg |
| Varta E24 | 70 Ah | 630 A | 261 × 175 × 220 | left | 16.09 kg |
| Varta D47 | 60 Ah | 540 A | 232 × 173 × 225 | right | 14.12 kg |

- Varta N72: 2 Ah more, 130 A more cranking power, a different case (260 × 173 × 225 mm), EFB technology.
- Varta E24: identical to the E23 except for the positive terminal, which is on the other side (positive terminal on the left).
- Varta D47: 10 Ah less, 90 A less cranking power, a different case (232 × 173 × 225 mm).

## Equivalents and alternatives to the Varta E23

Same dimensions and polarity as the E23, with similar capacity and cranking power; as a conventional battery, the E23 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-70.0T | Lead-acid | 70 Ah | 630 A | 261 × 175 × 220 |

## Lead-acid technology in the E23

Inside, the E23 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. It is a robust, well-known technology with a good capacity-to-price ratio, and still the basis of most cars, trucks and traction equipment.

## Check this before ordering the Varta E23

- If your car has Start-Stop, the E23 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 630 A or less, the E23 covers your engine.
- With 70 Ah, the E23 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the E23 is on the right.
- The E23 needs 261 × 175 × 220 mm of space (European case size D26): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.

## Frequently asked questions about the Varta E23

### Varta E23 or N72?

Compared with the E23, the Varta N72 has 2 Ah more, 130 A more cranking power and EFB technology. If your current battery says 760 A or more, choose the N72; if it says 630 A or less, the E23 is enough. Mind the space: the N72 measures 260 × 173 × 225 mm.

### What is the difference between the Varta E23 and the E24?

They are the same battery with the terminals swapped: positive terminal on the right on the E23, positive terminal on the left on the E24. 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: 570 412 063 for the E23 and 570 413 063 for the E24.

### What does the code 570 412 063 on the Varta E23 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 570412063. 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 (412) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (063) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 630 A. Its twin with the positive terminal on the other side, the Varta E24, is 570 413 063: only the middle group changes.

### Can the Varta E23 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

No. The E23 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 Varta N72.

### How much does the Varta E23 weigh?

The E23 weighs 16.09 kg. For reference, the Varta N72 (72 Ah) weighs 18.82 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Varta E23?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat PB-70.0T. As the E23 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

### What case size is the Varta E23?

Case size D26: 261 × 175 × 220 mm. The E23 fits any standard D26 battery tray such as the Kronobat PB-70.0T.
