Inside the N80: EFB technology
Inside, the N80 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 N80
- The N80 is an EFB: it suits cars that had an EFB or a conventional battery. If yours had an AGM, fit another AGM.
- The N80 delivers 800 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- Your current battery should say about 80 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- The N80 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
- The N80 needs 315 × 175 × 190 mm of space (European case size L4): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
Frequently asked questions about the Varta N80
N80 or A6: which one suits me?
Compared with the N80, the Varta A6 has AGM technology. With the same 80 Ah and 800 A, the difference is the technology. Choose the A6 if your car left the factory with AGM; if it had EFB, either will do. Both measure 315 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
What does the code 580 500 080 on the Varta N80 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 580500080. The first three digits (580) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 80 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 (080) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 800 A.
Can the Varta N80 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
Yes, the N80 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 N80 weigh?
21.13 kg, with 80 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta A6 (80 Ah) weighs 22.56 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Varta N80?
In EFB or AGM, with its dimensions and polarity: Exide EL800, Kronobat PE-80-EFB and Tudor TL800. A conventional battery does not replace the N80. Its Bosch equivalent is the Bosch S4 E11 (same ETN code 580 500 080). Bosch is not part of our catalogue; we list it so you can compare.
What case size is the Varta N80?
Case size L4: 315 × 175 × 190 mm (Varta lists it as H7/L4). The N80 fits any standard L4 battery tray such as the Exide EL800.
Which side is the positive terminal on the Varta N80?
On the N80, 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.
