- The I5 needs 347 × 173 × 234 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the I5 is on the left.
- Your current battery should say about 110 Ah; a little more is also fine.

Varta I5 or G2?
Compared with the I5, the Varta G2 has 20 Ah less and 140 A less cranking power. The I5 cranks harder; the G2 is only a good option if your original battery says 540 A or less. Both measure 347 × 173 × 234 mm, so they fit the same tray.

The middle group (048) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (068) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 680 A.
