## Frequently asked questions about the Varta M10

### Varta M10 or M6?

Compared with the M10, the Varta M6 has 20 Ah less and 200 A less cranking power. The M10 cranks harder; the M6 is only a good option if your original battery says 1,000 A or less. Both measure 513 × 223 × 223 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### What does the code 690 033 120 on the Varta M10 mean?

It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 690033120. The first three digits (690) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 190 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (033) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (120) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 1,200 A.

### How much does the Varta M10 weigh?

The M10 weighs 44.99 kg. For reference, the Varta M6 (170 Ah) weighs 43.93 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Varta M10?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide EF1853, Tudor TF1853 and Fulmen FF1853. As the M10 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

### Which charger does the Varta M10 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.
