Lead-acid technology in the J10

The J10 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. In cars without energy management, the J10 needs no special registration: just connect it.

What to look at before buying the J10

  • The J10 needs 514 × 175 × 210 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
  • Capacity of the J10: 130 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
  • The J10 delivers 1,000 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.

Frequently asked questions about the Varta J10

J10 or I2: which one suits me?

Compared with the J10, the Varta I2 has 20 Ah less and 240 A less cranking power. The J10 cranks harder; the I2 is only a good option if your original battery says 760 A or less. Both measure 514 × 175 × 210 mm, so they fit the same tray.

What does the code 630 052 100 on the Varta J10 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 630052100. The first three digits (630) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 130 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (052) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (100) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 1,000 A.

How much does the Varta J10 weigh?

35.46 kg, with 130 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta I2 (110 Ah) weighs 30.9 kg.

Which battery is equivalent to the Varta J10?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide EG1355, Exide EJ1355 and Kronobat HD-135.3. As the J10 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

Which charger does the Varta J10 need?

An automatic lead-acid charger with cut-off or maintenance mode, rated at 10 to 20% of its capacity in amps. If it is a vented type, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water.
