Where the Varta A2 fits

The Varta A2 is a starter battery for trucks, tractors and machinery: high capacity, robust terminals and a build that withstands vibration and the starts of large engines. The A2 is fitted alone or in pairs, in series, for the 24 V system of many trucks.

Varta lists the A2 in its Promotive AGM line. See all Varta batteries

What it means that the A2 is AGM

The A2 is AGM: the electrolyte is absorbed in glass fibre mats, so it is sealed and spill-proof. Being sealed, the A2 can be fitted in the boot or under a seat with no risk of spills.

Frequently asked questions about the Varta A2

Varta A2 or A1?

Compared with the A2, the Varta A1 has 40 Ah more and 200 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 1,200 A or more, choose the A1; if it says 1,000 A or less, the A2 is enough. Mind the space: the A1 measures 518 × 276 × 242 mm.

What does the code 670 901 100 on the Varta A2 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 670901100. The first three digits (670) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 170 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (901) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (100) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 1,000 A.

How much does the Varta A2 weigh?

The A2 weighs 47.49 kg. For reference, the Varta A1 (210 Ah) weighs 61.3 kg.

What does HD or vibration resistance mean on a truck battery?

That the plates are fixed to withstand intense vibration (EN 50342 V3/V4). It is essential in construction, agriculture and long-haul transport.
