## Description

## Who the Varta M11 is for

The Varta M11 is a starter battery for trucks, tractors and machinery: high capacity, robust terminals and a build that withstands vibration and the starts of large engines. With 154 Ah, the M11 suits heavy vehicles that had a battery of that capacity.
Varta lists the M11 in its Promotive SLI line. [More Varta batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/varta-batteries)

## Lead-acid technology in the M11

The M11 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. Avoid leaving them discharged, as they sulphate, and charge them with a charger that cuts off or switches to maintenance when finished.

## Varta M11 vs K7 and K8: differences

How the M11 compares with Varta batteries of similar size and capacity:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta M11 (this one) | 154 Ah | 1,150 A | 513 × 189 × 223 | 39.84 kg |
| Varta K7 | 145 Ah | 800 A | 513 × 189 × 223 | 37.12 kg |
| Varta K8 | 140 Ah | 800 A | 513 × 189 × 223 | 34.76 kg |

- Varta K7: 9 Ah less, 350 A less cranking power, the same dimensions.
- Varta K8: 14 Ah less, 350 A less cranking power, the same dimensions.

## Equivalents and alternatives to the Varta M11

Same dimensions and polarity as the M11, with similar capacity and cranking power; as a conventional battery, the M11 can also be replaced by an EFB or AGM of the same size if you want more cycles.

- Length, width and height of the M11: 513 × 189 × 223 mm.

## 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?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide EJ1523, Tudor TF1523 and Fulmen FJ1523. As the M11 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

### 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.
