Frequently asked questions about the Varta H16
Varta H16 or I5?
Compared with the H16, the Varta I5 has 5 Ah more and 120 A less cranking power. The H16 cranks harder; the I5 is only a good option if your original battery says 680 A or less. Mind the space: the I5 measures 347 × 173 × 234 mm.
What does the code 605 103 080 on the Varta H16 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 605103080. The first three digits (605) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 105 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (103) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (080) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 800 A.

Which charger does the Varta H16 need?
An automatic lead-acid charger with cut-off or maintenance mode, rated at 10 to 20% of its capacity in amps. If it is a vented type, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water.
