Varta Batteries have NOT responded to my email yet. The batteries are cr4p..

I thought I had bought a "quality battery" from Varta, 18 months ago, for my BMW K75 motorcycle. I looked after it well, using a battery tender (top-up charger) when it was left standing for any length of time and I regularly checked and topped up the fluid levels in the cells. It recently failed and died on a recent long distance tour. It will be the last time I buy a Varta battery. Reading other reviews it appears I am not alone.

I installed a Varta batter AGM-LS and in 4 months it started to malfunction and car electronics were troubling me and finally I discovered it was the battery causing this! It doesn’t worth it.

At the tender age of 78 I am still tinkering with cars and enjoying it too. I have always used Varta batteries whenever I needed a replacement however, something has changed with this company in the last few years and as a result Varta is no longer King of Batteries for me and I would NOT recommend them to anybody. Just after I retired I purchased a used Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG coupe, I enjoyed it so much but circumstances changed and I sold the car with a proviso that if the new owner decided to sell then I would have first refusal. Two weeks ago I got the email I had been awaiting for a few years and immediately responded Yes. When I collected my old car the vendor said that he had some trouble starting the engine recently although the Varta battery which he had fitted 3 years ago had never given any trouble. He had fitted a replacement Varta H3 because the car had the same brand and model which I had fitted before selling the car.....brand loyalty indeed. I contacted Varta Batteries by email and asked for their advice on this 5 year warranty battery , they suggested going back to the battery supplier and the garage that fitted it. I told them that the battery was bought on-line from an apparently accredited battery specialist and the garage who fitted it had been a victim of the Pandemic. NEVER again will I recommend Varta batteries. They use this "5 year Warranty" as a sales tool but fail to stand by it.

It is not worth the money. After 0.5 year they are dead. Literally dead. Good thing the don't explode. Otherwise don't worth to bother.

Varta Stop start battery in my Fiat Ducato motorhome is just over 2 years old. Let me down big time in roadworks. Pronounced dead by AA and neither Fiat nor Varta interested in replacing something that should last 5 years but has failed in half that time. Certainly won't be replacing with a Varta!

Your car batteries sales are down 45%??? Dear oh dear. Serves you right for not honoring the guarantee when your batteries last 2 years instead of 5+. EDIT: So far including just now, I told 3 people in total not to buy V💩RT💩. Your loss, more to come. Latest person experienced issues with a brand new one, told him to bring that she-it back in the shop and buy a proper brand instead IE ''The world's leading battery manufacturer'' - not to name them but that's what I now have in my car after 3 failed VARTAS on 3 different cars.

Vi købte for nogen tid siden både AA og AAA genopladelige batterier til de efterhånden mange elektriske dimser man har i huset. Vi valgte umiddelbart Varta, da firmaet virker velrenommeret. Men så opdager vi hen ad vejen, at batterierne er en "my" større end standard batterier. De ligner og måles som det samme, men vi kan bare ikke presse fx 4 batterier ned i vores radio. Almindelige batterier kan godt, men Vartas vil IKKE. De er kun en brøkdel af en millimeter større, men nok til, at de ikke passer ind i de forskellige elektriske apparater. Fx vil 1 stk. Varta AA batteri bare IKKE ind i min næse og skægtrimmer. Hvad i helgoland er det for en størrelse I fører? Vi bruger nu Duracell, godt nok dyrere, men de passer sgu da!
