VARTA Dynamic Trio / Promotive Trio

Varta starting batteries are known for their reliable power supply and powerful cold start force, even in extreme conditions, as well as for their capability to maintain their reserve capacity for extended periods. This powerful battery exceeds even the manufacturer’s expectations.

The major, feature among all of Varta’s starting batteries is their innovative technology

PowerFrame technology is designed to offer a perfectly constant flow of current, and assure maximum resistance with optimal conductivity.

Flooded Technology

VARTA® offers a full portfolio of flooded lead-acid batteries to serve an extensive range of vehicles.

Each battery is built to meet the specific needs of our global customer base of original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket customers.

Flooded lead-acid batteries are the most common battery type. A liquid electrolyte consisting of sulphuric acid covers all internal parts. VARTA flooded batteries have a sealed construction, so that they are leak proof.

Silver Dynamic / Promotive

Industrial vehicles that demand maximum performance require a high-quality, reliable battery with excellent cold start power.

This maintenance-free battery offers optimal resistance during the charge and discharge cycles.

SpiralCell Technology

Optima batteries are based on SpiralCell technology. Instead of the flat plates used in conventional batteries, Optima utilizes two thin lead plates which are wound in a cylindrical spiral which houses the micro fiberglass that contains the acid.

The idea of winding the plates and joining them by means of solid connections delivers the maximum features with a minimum weight and size. This makes the battery compact, robust and easy to install.

Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) Technology

In traditional batteries, the positive and negative plates are submerged in an acid solution within a container. In the case of AGM batteries, these plates are separated by an absorbent fiberglass mat that retains the acid much like a sponge. This way, potential acid spills are minimized.

They use lead of a higher grade (as pure as 99.99 %) than other conventional batteries. Such greater purity results in less contamination and less gas emissions, thereby extending the life of the battery and enhancing its performance.

It offers low internal resistance and greater plate surface area to achieve superior starting power, much faster recharge capability and a higher voltage during the discharge cycle. They are practically leak proof and vibration resistant.

RedTop

The OPTIMA RedTop battery demonstrates its extraordinary starting capability where the use of machinery is seasonal. The key to this starting power is OPTIMA’s Spiralcell technology, capable of starting large diesel engines with a battery as small as that of a passenger car and easily installed in areas with limited space. This powerful battery is also vibration, shock and collision resistant. The RedTop’s tough structure is capable of withstanding the harshest conditions without any leaks or interruptions.

Professional starting batteries

Capable of replacing batteries four times their size
Up to three times longer service life

Safe. Practically no fumes
Totally airtight and 100% maintenance-free
Installed in any position.

YellowTop

Optima YellowTop batteries guarantee non-stop power during the entire discharge cycle regardless of how challenging the situation may be (dampness, heat, dirtiness, vibration or very frequent discharges). The battery’s ability to maintain high power during the discharge cycle enables it to leverage the stored power more fully than conventional batteries. All this is the result of the Spiralcell technology, which combines the advantages of starting batteries with those of deep cycle batteries. The YellowTop may be charged and discharged several times without losing its capacity, and it is ideal for seasonal use given its minimal self-discharge rate.

Totally airtight, deep-cycle batteries

Higher open-circuit voltage: 13.20 V
Up to 400 cycles 100% DOD

Ultrafast charge, thanks to its minimal internal resistance
Resistant to all types of vibration

BlueTop

Optima BlueTop batteries come in two versions which make them the ideal battery for all types of marine conditions. One of them is a powerful starting battery (SLI) that provides maximum starting power even in extreme dampness conditions. The other version (DC) is a starting/deep-cycle battery that also provides power to all onboard equipment and accessories. All these advantages make Optima BlueTop the ideal choice for a range of applications that require combining the battery’s different properties depending on operating conditions and power requirements.

SLI and Deep-Cycle marine batteries

Corrosion free
Capable of submerged operation

Vibration resistant
Safe. Practically no fumes
