- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the LFS74 is on the right.

Which battery is equivalent to the Varta LFS74?
With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide EN750, Exide EZ600 and Tudor TZ600. As the LFS74 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.
