## Frequently asked questions about the Varta H17

### H17 or I5: which one suits me?

Compared with the H17, the Varta I5 has 5 Ah more and 120 A less cranking power. The H17 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 605 102 080 on the Varta H17 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 605102080. 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 (102) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (080) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 800 A.

### How much does the Varta H17 weigh?

24.67 kg, with 105 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta I5 (110 Ah) weighs 26.8 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Varta H17?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat HD-105.9, Exide EG110B and Tudor TG110B. As the H17 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

### Which charger does the Varta H17 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.
