## Description

## Where the Varta F19 fits

The Varta F19 is made for petrol and diesel cars without automatic engine stop. If your car has no Start-Stop and had a 85 Ah battery, the F19 is a direct replacement.
At 85 Ah it moves into large diesels, SUVs, vans and cars with heavy electrical equipment. In the Varta catalogue, the F19 belongs to the Dynamic SLI line. [See all Varta batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/varta-batteries)

## Varta F19 vs F16, F18 and A6

Torn between the F19 and another similar Varta? This is what changes:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta F19 (this one) | 85 Ah | 800 A | 315 × 175 × 190 | right | 19.15 kg |
| Varta F16 | 80 Ah | 740 A | 315 × 175 × 190 | right | 18.47 kg |
| Varta F18 | 85 Ah | 800 A | 315 × 175 × 175 | right | 18.57 kg |
| Varta A6 | 80 Ah | 800 A | 315 × 175 × 190 | right | 22.56 kg |

- Varta F16: 5 Ah less, 60 A less cranking power, the same L4 case.
- Varta F18: the same capacity, the same cranking power, a different height (175 mm instead of 190 mm, LB4). It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 190 mm height of the F19.
- Varta A6: 5 Ah less, the same cranking power, the same L4 case, AGM technology.

## Equivalents and alternatives to the Varta F19

Same dimensions and polarity as the F19, with similar capacity and cranking power; as a conventional battery, the F19 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 MS-85.0 | Lead-acid | 85 Ah | 800 A | 315 × 175 × 190 |
| Kronobat PB-80.0 | Lead-acid | 80 Ah | 740 A | 315 × 175 × 190 |
| Exide EA900 | Lead-acid | 90 Ah | 720 A | 315 × 175 × 190 |
| Tudor TA900 | Lead-acid | 90 Ah | 720 A | 315 × 175 × 190 |
| Fulmen FA900 | Lead-acid | 90 Ah | 720 A | 315 × 175 × 190 |
| Deta DA900 | Lead-acid | 90 Ah | 720 A | 315 × 175 × 190 |

## Inside the F19: lead-acid technology

Inside, the F19 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.

## What to look at before buying the F19

- If your car has Start-Stop, the F19 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- The F19 delivers 800 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- Capacity of the F19: 85 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
- Polarity of the F19: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Length, width and height of the F19: 315 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L4).

## Frequently asked questions about the Varta F19

### Varta F19 or F16?

Compared with the F19, the Varta F16 has 5 Ah less and 60 A less cranking power. The F19 cranks harder; the F16 is only a good option if your original battery says 740 A or less. Both measure 315 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### Varta F19 or F18: what changes?

Mainly the height: the F19 is 190 mm tall (L4) and the Varta F18 175 mm (LB4), with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the F18 offers 85 Ah and 800 A against 85 Ah and 800 A. Before choosing between the F19 and the F18, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.

### What does the code 585 400 080 on the Varta F19 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 585400080. The first three digits (585) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 85 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (400) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (080) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 800 A.

### Can the Varta F19 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

No. The F19 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 A6.

### How much does the Varta F19 weigh?

The F19 weighs 19.15 kg. For reference, the Varta F16 (80 Ah) weighs 18.47 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Varta F19?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat MS-85.0, Kronobat PB-80.0 and Exide EA900. As the F19 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

### What case size is the Varta F19?

Case size L4: 315 × 175 × 190 mm (Varta lists it as H7/L4). The F19 fits any standard L4 battery tray such as the Kronobat MS-85.0.
