  • Varta YB9L-B: 2 Ah more, 11 A more cranking power, a different case (136 × 76 × 140 mm).
  • If the positive terminal of your battery is on the other side, the one you need is the Varta 12N7-4A (positive terminal on the left).
  • Varta YB9L-A2: 2 Ah more, 56 A more cranking power, a different case (135 × 75 × 139 mm).

Before ordering the YB7L-B, check this

  • Length, width and height of the YB7L-B: 136 × 76 × 134 mm.
  • Polarity of the YB7L-B: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
  • Capacity of the YB7L-B: 7 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
  • The YB7L-B delivers 74 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.

Frequently asked questions about the Varta YB7L-B

YB7L-B or YB9L-B: which one suits me?

Compared with the YB7L-B, the Varta YB9L-B has 2 Ah more and 11 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 85 A or more, choose the YB9L-B; if it says 74 A or less, the YB7L-B is enough. Mind the space: the YB9L-B measures 136 × 76 × 140 mm.

Varta YB7L-B or 12N7-4A: what is the difference?

Only the polarity: the YB7L-B has the positive terminal on the right and the 12N7-4A the positive terminal on the left. Capacity (7 Ah), cranking power and dimensions are identical. That is why their ETNs only differ in the middle group: 507 012 007 for the YB7L-B and 507 013 007 for the 12N7-4A.

Is the Varta 507012007 the same battery as the Varta YB7L-B?

Yes. 507012007 is the ETN code Varta uses for its YB7L-B battery, so you can search for it by either code.

How much does the Varta YB7L-B weigh?

2.85 kg, with 7 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta YB9L-B (9 Ah) weighs 2.98 kg.

Which battery is equivalent to the Varta YB7L-B?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide 12N7-3B, Exide EB7L-B and Fulbat FB7L-B2. As the YB7L-B is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

Does the Varta YB7L-B come charged and ready to fit?

Sealed AGM and gel batteries leave the factory charged and ready. Conventional ones with a separate acid pack are activated when filled and should be charged before fitting.

What it means that the YB7L-B is lead-acid

Inside, the YB7L-B is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. It is a robust, well-known technology with a good capacity-to-price ratio, and still the basis of most cars, trucks and traction equipment.
