## Varta H4 vs I5, H5 and G2: differences

What sets the H4 apart from its neighbours in the Varta range:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta H4 (this one) | 100 Ah | 600 A | 413 × 175 × 220 | left | 27.43 kg |
| Varta I5 | 110 Ah | 680 A | 347 × 173 × 234 | left | 26.8 kg |
| Varta H5 | 100 Ah | 600 A | 413 × 175 × 220 | right | 27.46 kg |
| Varta G2 | 90 Ah | 540 A | 347 × 173 × 234 | left | 25.2 kg |

- Varta I5: 10 Ah more, 80 A more cranking power, a different case (347 × 173 × 234 mm).
- If the positive terminal of your battery is on the other side, the one you need is the Varta H5 (positive terminal on the right).
- Varta G2: 10 Ah less, 60 A less cranking power, a different case (347 × 173 × 234 mm).

## Inside the H4: lead-acid technology

Inside, the H4 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the H4 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.

## Check this before ordering the Varta H4

- The H4 needs 413 × 175 × 220 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
- Polarity of the H4: positive terminal on the left (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- With 100 Ah, the H4 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Cold cranking: 600 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.

## Frequently asked questions about the Varta H4

### H4 or I5: which one suits me?

Compared with the H4, the Varta I5 has 10 Ah more and 80 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 680 A or more, choose the I5; if it says 600 A or less, the H4 is enough. Mind the space: the I5 measures 347 × 173 × 234 mm.

### Varta H4 or H5: what is the difference?

Only the polarity: the H4 has the positive terminal on the left and the H5 the positive terminal on the right. Capacity (100 Ah), cranking power and dimensions are identical. That is why their ETNs only differ in the middle group: 600 035 060 for the H4 and 600 047 060 for the H5.

### What does the code 600 035 060 on the Varta H4 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 600035060. 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 (035) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (060) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 600 A. Its twin with the positive terminal on the other side, the Varta H5, is 600 047 060: only the middle group changes.

### How much does the Varta H4 weigh?

27.43 kg, with 100 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta I5 (110 Ah) weighs 26.8 kg.

### Are truck batteries fitted in pairs?

Almost always, in series for 24 V. Replace them in matched pairs: mixing a new one with an old one unbalances charging and shortens the new one's life.
