- The K7 needs 513 × 189 × 223 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
Frequently asked questions about the Varta K7
K7 or K8: which one suits me?
Compared with the K7, the Varta K8 has 5 Ah less. With the same cranking power (800 A), the K7 and the K8 differ in capacity: the one with more Ah supports more load with the engine off. Both measure 513 × 189 × 223 mm, so they fit the same tray.
What does the code 645 400 080 on the Varta K7 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 645400080. The first three digits (645) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 145 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (400) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (080) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 800 A.
How much does the Varta K7 weigh?
37.12 kg, with 145 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta K8 (140 Ah) weighs 34.76 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Varta K7?
With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat SHD-145.3, Exide EG1403 and Kronobat HD-140.3. As the K7 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.
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.
