Description
The Varta A7 is a 12V, 70Ah AGM battery from Varta’s Silver Dynamic range, designed for vehicles that require more from their electrical system than a conventional flooded battery is built to provide. This includes vehicles fitted with start-stop technology and regenerative braking, which are now standard across a large proportion of the European vehicle market.
If your vehicle was originally fitted with an AGM battery, it was specified that way for a reason. AGM construction handles repeated deep discharge cycles and rapid recharging significantly better than flooded lead-acid batteries, and fitting a lower-grade replacement typically results in reduced performance and a shortened service life.
Specifications
- 12V, 70Ah capacity, 760 CCA
- LN3 case size
- Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) construction, sealed and maintenance-free
- Positive terminal on the right
- Dimensions: 278L x 175W x 190H mm
Also known as
This battery is sold and referenced under several names across the Australian market, all describing the same product: Varta A7, Varta E39, 570 901 076, DIN66H, and LN3 AGM. If your existing battery is labelled with any of these, the A7 is the correct replacement.
Why AGM performance matters
Each time a start-stop engine shuts down and restarts at a set of lights, that constitutes one discharge cycle. Over a typical day’s driving, this can happen a considerable number of times, and a conventional flooded battery will reach the end of its usable life well ahead of schedule under that kind of repeated demand. The A7 is rated for approximately three times the cycle life of a standard flooded battery, and is designed to recover charge efficiently through regenerative braking systems where fitted.
Manufactured in Germany
Varta batteries are produced in Germany using the company’s patented PowerFrame grid technology, offering improved resistance to corrosion and vibration compared to the stamped grid designs found in lower-tier batteries. This is a significant factor in Varta’s position as original equipment supplier to a wide range of European vehicle manufacturers.
Delivery and warranty
Free delivery is available across metro Melbourne and metro Adelaide. This battery is covered by a 36-month private use warranty, supported locally, so warranty claims do not involve dealing with an overseas manufacturer. If you are unsure whether the A7 is correct for your vehicle, please refer to the fitment guide tab or contact us before ordering, as incorrect case size or terminal configuration is the most common reason for battery returns.

Where a listing shows two acceptable sizes (e.g. Varta A8 or A7), check the case size on your current battery before ordering, as it can vary by engine, build date or factory options. Not sure which one you need? Get in touch and we’ll confirm it for you.
