Where the Varta H3 fits
The Varta H3 is made for petrol and diesel cars without automatic engine stop. If your car has no Start-Stop and had a 100 Ah battery, the H3 is a direct replacement.
At 100 Ah it moves into large diesels, SUVs, vans and cars with heavy electrical equipment. In the Varta catalogue, the H3 belongs to the Dynamic SLI line. See all Varta batteries

Before ordering the H3, check this
- Length, width and height of the H3: 353 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L5).
- Polarity of the H3: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- With 100 Ah, the H3 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 830 A or less, the H3 covers your engine.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the H3 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
What it means that the H3 is lead-acid
Inside, the H3 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the H3 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.
Frequently asked questions about the Varta H3
H3 or G3: which one suits me?
Compared with the H3, the Varta G3 has 5 Ah less and 30 A less cranking power. The H3 cranks harder; the G3 is only a good option if your original battery says 800 A or less. Both measure 353 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
What does the code 600 402 083 on the Varta H3 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 600402083. The first three digits (600) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 100 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (402) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (083) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 830 A.
Can the Varta H3 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
No. The H3 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM.
How much does the Varta H3 weigh?
21.67 kg, with 100 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta G3 (95 Ah) weighs 20.69 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Varta H3?
With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat MS-100.0, Exide EA1000 and Tudor TA1000. As the H3 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works. Its Bosch equivalent is the Bosch S5 013 (same ETN code 600 402 083). Bosch is not part of our catalogue; we list it so you can compare.
What case size is the Varta H3?
Case size L5: 353 × 175 × 190 mm (Varta lists it as H8/L5). The H3 fits any standard L5 battery tray such as the Kronobat MS-100.0.
Which side is the positive terminal on the Varta H3?
On the H3, the positive terminal is on the right with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.
