Varta AUX1 or A10?

Compared with the AUX1, the Varta A10 has 5 Ah more, 100 A less cranking power and AGM technology. The AUX1 cranks harder; the A10 is only a good option if your original battery says 420 A or less. Mind the space: the A10 measures 175 × 175 × 190 mm.

What does the code 535 106 052 on the Varta AUX1 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 535106052. The first three digits (535) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 35 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (106) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (052) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 520 A.
