Compared with the L14, the Varta K13 has 10 Ah less and 40 A less cranking power. The L14 cranks harder; the K13 is only a good option if your original battery says 720 A or less. Mind the space: the K13 measures 260 × 175 × 236 mm.

How much does the Varta L14 weigh?

23 kg, with 150 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta K13 (140 Ah) weighs 19.5 kg.

Which side is the positive terminal on the Varta L14?

On the L14, the positive terminal is on the right with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.

Are truck batteries fitted in pairs?

Almost always, in series for 24 V. Replace them in matched pairs: mixing a new one with an old one unbalances charging and shortens the new one's life.
