Frequently asked questions about the Varta M11
Varta M11 or K7?
Compared with the M11, the Varta K7 has 9 Ah less and 350 A less cranking power. The M11 cranks harder; the K7 is only a good option if your original battery says 800 A or less. Both measure 513 × 189 × 223 mm, so they fit the same tray.
What does the code 654 011 115 on the Varta M11 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 654011115. The first three digits (654) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 154 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (011) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (115) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 1,150 A.
How much does the Varta M11 weigh?
The M11 weighs 39.84 kg. For reference, the Varta K7 (145 Ah) weighs 37.12 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Varta M11?

Which charger does the Varta M11 need?
An automatic lead-acid charger with cut-off or maintenance mode, rated at 10 to 20% of its capacity in amps. If it is a vented type, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water.
