Who the Varta E9 is for

The Varta E9 is made for petrol and diesel cars without automatic engine stop. If your car has no Start-Stop and had a 70 Ah battery, the E9 is a direct replacement.

At 70 Ah it is the usual size for compact diesels and mid-size petrol saloons. In the Varta catalogue, the E9 belongs to the Dynamic SLI line. More Varta batteries

  • Varta E13: the same capacity, the same cranking power, a different height (190 mm instead of 175 mm, L3). It only fits if there is room for 190 mm of height.
  • Varta E38: 4 Ah more, 110 A more cranking power, the same LB3 case.

Inside the E9: lead-acid technology

Inside, the E9 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.

Before ordering the E9, check this

  • If your car has Start-Stop, the E9 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
  • The E9 delivers 640 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
  • Capacity of the E9: 70 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
  • Polarity of the E9: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
  • Measure the space: the E9 takes up 278 × 175 × 175 mm (European case size LB3).

Frequently asked questions about the Varta E9

E9 or E43: which one suits me?

Compared with the E9, the Varta E43 has 2 Ah more and 40 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 680 A or more, choose the E43; if it says 640 A or less, the E9 is enough. Both measure 278 × 175 × 175 mm, so they fit the same tray.

Varta E9 or E13: what changes?

Mainly the height: the E9 is 175 mm tall (LB3) and the Varta E13 190 mm (L3), with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the E13 offers 70 Ah and 640 A against 70 Ah and 640 A. Before choosing between the E9 and the E13, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.

What does the code 570 144 064 on the Varta E9 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 570144064. 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 (144) 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 E9 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

No. The E9 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM.

How much does the Varta E9 weigh?

15.58 kg, with 70 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta E43 (72 Ah) weighs 15.88 kg.

Which battery is equivalent to the Varta E9?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat SD-70.0B, Exide EB712 and Tudor TB712. As the E9 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

What case size is the Varta E9?

Case size LB3: 278 × 175 × 175 mm (Varta lists it as T6/LB3). The E9 fits any standard LB3 battery tray such as the Kronobat SD-70.0B.
