Frequently asked questions about the Varta YB9L-B
Varta YB9L-B or YB9L-A2?
Compared with the YB9L-B, the Varta YB9L-A2 has 45 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 130 A or more, choose the YB9L-A2; if it says 85 A or less, the YB9L-B is enough. Both measure 136 × 76 × 140 mm, so they fit the same tray.
What is the difference between the Varta YB9L-B and the YB9-B?
They are the same battery with the terminals swapped: positive terminal on the right on the YB9L-B, positive terminal on the left on the YB9-B. Look at your current battery with the terminals facing you and pick the one that matches. That is why their ETNs only differ in the middle group: 509 015 009 for the YB9L-B and 509 014 009 for the YB9-B.
Is the Varta 509015009 the same battery as the Varta YB9L-B?
Yes. 509015009 is the ETN code Varta uses for its YB9L-B battery, so you can search for it by either code.
How much does the Varta YB9L-B weigh?
The YB9L-B weighs 2.98 kg. For reference, the Varta YB9L-A2 (9 Ah) weighs 3.19 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Varta YB9L-B?
With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide 12N9-3B. As the YB9L-B is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.
Which charger does the Varta YB9L-B 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.
Lead-acid technology in the YB9L-B
Inside, the YB9L-B is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the YB9L-B is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.
