## Description

## Who the Varta N60 is for

The Varta N60 is designed for automatic engine stop and regenerative braking. The N60 is designed for cars that switch the engine off at every stop and restart it dozens of times per trip.
At 60 Ah it covers petrol compacts and small diesels, the best-selling format in Europe. In the Varta catalogue, the N60 belongs to the Dynamic EFB line. [See all Varta batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/varta-batteries)

## Varta N60 vs A8 and N50: which one to choose?

How the N60 compares with Varta batteries of similar size and capacity:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta N60 (this one) | 60 Ah | 640 A | 242 × 175 × 190 | right | 16.49 kg |
| Varta A8 | 60 Ah | 680 A | 242 × 175 × 190 | right | 17.29 kg |
| Varta N50 | 50 Ah | 550 A | 207 × 175 × 190 | right | 14.18 kg |

- Varta A8: the same capacity, 40 A more cranking power, the same L2 case, AGM technology.
- Varta N50: 10 Ah less, 90 A less cranking power, a different case (207 × 175 × 190 mm).

## Equivalents and alternatives to the Varta N60

As the N60 is an EFB, only EFB or AGM batteries of the same size and polarity are listed: you can step up to AGM, but not down to a conventional battery.

| Model | Technology | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exide EL600 | EFB | 60 Ah | 640 A | 242 × 175 × 190 |
| Kronobat PE-60-EFB | EFB | 60 Ah | 640 A | 242 × 175 × 190 |
| Tudor TL600 | EFB | 60 Ah | 640 A | 242 × 175 × 190 |
| Fulmen FL600 | EFB | 60 Ah | 640 A | 242 × 175 × 190 |
| Deta DL600 | EFB | 60 Ah | 640 A | 242 × 175 × 190 |
| Fulmen FK600 | AGM | 60 Ah | 680 A | 242 × 175 × 190 |

## Inside the N60: EFB technology

Inside, the N60 uses EFB technology, a reinforced version of the flooded battery. It is the choice for cars with basic Start-Stop.

## Check this before ordering the Varta N60

- The N60 is an EFB: it suits cars that had an EFB or a conventional battery. If yours had an AGM, fit another AGM.
- Cold cranking: 640 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- Your current battery should say about 60 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Polarity of the N60: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- The N60 needs 242 × 175 × 190 mm of space (European case size L2): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.

## Frequently asked questions about the Varta N60

### N60 or A8: which one suits me?

Compared with the N60, the Varta A8 has 40 A more cranking power and AGM technology. If your current battery says 680 A or more, choose the A8; if it says 640 A or less, the N60 is enough. Both measure 242 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### What does the code 560 500 064 on the Varta N60 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 560500064. The first three digits (560) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 60 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (500) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (064) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 640 A.

### Can the Varta N60 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

Yes, the N60 is an EFB: it suits Start-Stop without brake energy recovery, or cars that already had an EFB. If your car left the factory with an AGM, fit another AGM.

### How much does the Varta N60 weigh?

16.49 kg, with 60 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta A8 (60 Ah) weighs 17.29 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Varta N60?

In EFB or AGM, with its dimensions and polarity: Exide EL600, Kronobat PE-60-EFB and Tudor TL600. A conventional battery does not replace the N60.

### What case size is the Varta N60?

Case size L2: 242 × 175 × 190 mm (Varta lists it as H5/L2). The N60 fits any standard L2 battery tray such as the Exide EL600.

### Which side is the positive terminal on the Varta N60?

On the N60, 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.
