## Varta I16 vs I8 and I2: which one to choose?

How the I16 compares with Varta batteries of similar size and capacity:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta I16 (this one) | 120 Ah | 760 A | 510 × 175 × 235 | 35.12 kg |
| Varta I8 | 120 Ah | 680 A | 513 × 189 × 223 | 32.29 kg |
| Varta I2 | 110 Ah | 760 A | 514 × 175 × 210 | 30.9 kg |

- Varta I8: the same capacity, 80 A less cranking power, a different case (513 × 189 × 223 mm).
- Varta I2: 10 Ah less, the same cranking power, a different case (514 × 175 × 210 mm).

## Lead-acid technology in the I16

Inside, the I16 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the I16 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.

## Before ordering the I16, check this

- The I16 needs 510 × 175 × 235 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
- Capacity of the I16: 120 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
- The I16 delivers 760 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.

The middle group (109) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (076) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 760 A.
