## Frequently asked questions about the Varta J5

### J5 or K4: which one suits me?

Compared with the J5, the Varta K4 has 13 Ah more and 270 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 950 A or more, choose the K4; if it says 680 A or less, the J5 is enough. Both measure 514 × 218 × 208 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### What does the code 630 014 068 on the Varta J5 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 630014068. 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 (014) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (068) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 680 A.

### How much does the Varta J5 weigh?

37.83 kg, with 130 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta K4 (143 Ah) weighs 39.85 kg.

### What does HD or vibration resistance mean on a truck battery?

That the plates are fixed to withstand intense vibration (EN 50342 V3/V4). It is essential in construction, agriculture and long-haul transport.
