VARTA Consumer BatteriesReviews of varta-consumer.com

Spent extra money on a Varta car battery, thinking I would finally have a decent piece of gear. After a year it started failing in winter, tried to file a complaint, not possible, tried use my guarantee, not possible, you as a customer has to prove it was broken at time of purchase. Tried to contact varta here in Germany, not possible. Discovered that Varta has been bought up by some US cooperation and probably doesn't even produce batteries at all. Not made in Germany, thats for sure. Absolute crap product and crap customer service. Absolute rippoff and waste of money. Varta seems to belong to Johnson Controls

I bought a defective battery charger 4 years ago. But since I recently bought a multimeter I discovered it wasn't working as it should. Reported this to consumer services and they sent me a new one, no questions asked. Great customer service!

I bought a pack of 24 AA batteries about 3 weeks ago and when I took one out of the pack it gave me a shock then turned very hot. I took the pack back to Screwfix where my friend had purchased them for me but the woman said they couldn't take them back or reimburse me because I'd thrown the receipt away even though they could trace the sale on their computer.

great value, great performance, I been buying Varta in all different sizes for years at Bunnings, much cheaper than other brands, no issues, no leaks, no duds

Sehr kulant bei ausgelaufenen Batterien.

Bought a blister pack of 4 CR2032 earlier this year with Best Before date 7-2030! Opened the pack today and the batteries are flat they are all reading "replace" on battery meter. Can't remember where bought and Varta customer services are ignoring my emails

I don’t know how good the battery is as I haven’t been able to fit it yet as I need some information to code it so the review is regarding their customer service. Phoned 14 times just goes to answer phone, emailed 3 times no reply and nothing from the web enquiry form. Will not be buying anything Varta in the future.

After less than 6 months the heavy duty car battery failed. it cost over £100. There was no reply to several emails from Varta head office and other Varta contacts. Not interested. The 5 year warranty isnt worth the paper its printed on. Avoid Varta.
