The Varta G8 at a glance
The Varta G8 is a starter battery for cars without Start-Stop: it delivers the current the starter motor needs and then powers lights, control units and audio with the engine off. Its job is to start the engine in the cold with margin to spare and keep the car's electronics powered.
At 95 Ah it moves into large diesels, SUVs, vans and cars with heavy electrical equipment. Varta lists the G8 in its Dynamic SLI line. More Varta batteries

What it means that the G8 is lead-acid
The G8 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. In cars without energy management, the G8 needs no special registration: just connect it.
Before ordering the G8, check this
- If your car has Start-Stop, the G8 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- The G8 delivers 830 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- Your current battery should say about 95 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Polarity of the G8: positive terminal on the left (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Measure the space: the G8 takes up 306 × 173 × 225 mm (European case size D31).
Frequently asked questions about the Varta G8
Varta G8 or E24?
Compared with the G8, the Varta E24 has 25 Ah less and 200 A less cranking power. The G8 cranks harder; the E24 is only a good option if your original battery says 630 A or less. Mind the space: the E24 measures 261 × 175 × 220 mm.
What is the difference between the Varta G8 and the G7?
They are the same battery with the terminals swapped: positive terminal on the left on the G8, positive terminal on the right on the G7. 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: 595 405 083 for the G8 and 595 404 083 for the G7.
What does the code 595 405 083 on the Varta G8 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 595405083. The first three digits (595) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 95 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (405) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (083) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 830 A. Its twin with the positive terminal on the other side, the Varta G7, is 595 404 083: only the middle group changes.
Can the Varta G8 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
No. The G8 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM.
How much does the Varta G8 weigh?
The G8 weighs 20.21 kg. For reference, the Varta E24 (70 Ah) weighs 16.09 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Varta G8?
With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat PB-95.1T, Exide EA955 and Tudor TA955. As the G8 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.
What case size is the Varta G8?
Case size D31: 306 × 173 × 225 mm (Varta lists it as D31R). The G8 fits any standard D31 battery tray such as the Kronobat PB-95.1T.
