## Varta G2 vs I5, G1 and H17: differences

What sets the G2 apart from its neighbours in the Varta range:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta G2 (this one) | 90 Ah | 540 A | 347 × 173 × 234 | left | 25.2 kg |
| Varta I5 | 110 Ah | 680 A | 347 × 173 × 234 | left | 26.8 kg |
| Varta G1 | 90 Ah | 540 A | 347 × 173 × 234 | right | 25.2 kg |
| Varta H17 | 105 Ah | 800 A | 330 × 172 × 238 | – | 24.67 kg |

- Varta I5: 20 Ah more, 140 A more cranking power, the same dimensions.
- If the positive terminal of your battery is on the other side, the one you need is the Varta G1 (positive terminal on the right).
- Varta H17: 15 Ah more, 260 A more cranking power, a different case (330 × 172 × 238 mm).

## Inside the G2: lead-acid technology

Inside, the G2 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the G2 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.

## Before ordering the G2, check this

- The G2 needs 347 × 173 × 234 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
- The G2 has the positive terminal on the left: compare it with your current battery.
- Your current battery should say about 90 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Cold cranking: 540 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.

## Frequently asked questions about the Varta G2

### Varta G2 or I5?

Compared with the G2, the Varta I5 has 20 Ah more and 140 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 680 A or more, choose the I5; if it says 540 A or less, the G2 is enough. Both measure 347 × 173 × 234 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### What is the difference between the Varta G2 and the G1?

They are the same battery with the terminals swapped: positive terminal on the left on the G2, positive terminal on the right on the G1. Look at your current battery with the terminals facing you and pick the one that matches. That is why their ETNs only differ in the middle group: 590 041 054 for the G2 and 590 040 054 for the G1.

### What does the code 590 041 054 on the Varta G2 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 590041054. The first three digits (590) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 90 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (041) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (054) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 540 A. Its twin with the positive terminal on the other side, the Varta G1, is 590 040 054: only the middle group changes.

### How much does the Varta G2 weigh?

The G2 weighs 25.2 kg. For reference, the Varta I5 (110 Ah) weighs 26.8 kg.
