Lead-acid technology in the H9
The H9 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. Avoid leaving them discharged, as they sulphate, and charge them with a charger that cuts off or switches to maintenance when finished.
Before ordering the H9, check this
- Measure the space: the H9 takes up 313 × 175 × 205 mm.
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the H9 is on the right.
- With 100 Ah, the H9 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 720 A or less, the H9 covers your engine.

Frequently asked questions about the Varta H9
H9 or H17: which one suits me?
Compared with the H9, the Varta H17 has 5 Ah more and 80 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 800 A or more, choose the H17; if it says 720 A or less, the H9 is enough. Mind the space: the H17 measures 330 × 172 × 238 mm.
What does the code 600 123 072 on the Varta H9 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 600123072. 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 (123) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (072) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 720 A.
How much does the Varta H9 weigh?
22.32 kg, with 100 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta H17 (105 Ah) weighs 24.67 kg.
Which side is the positive terminal on the Varta H9?
On the H9, 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.
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.
