Before ordering the M9, check this
- Measure the space: the M9 takes up 513 × 223 × 223 mm.
- With 170 Ah, the M9 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 1,000 A or less, the M9 covers your engine.

Frequently asked questions about the Varta M9
M9 or M12: which one suits me?
Compared with the M9, the Varta M12 has 10 Ah more and 400 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 1,400 A or more, choose the M12; if it says 1,000 A or less, the M9 is enough. Both measure 513 × 223 × 223 mm, so they fit the same tray.
What does the code 670 104 100 on the Varta M9 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 670104100. The first three digits (670) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 170 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (104) 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 M9 weigh?
41.11 kg, with 170 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta M12 (180 Ah) weighs 46.42 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Varta M9?
With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide EG1803, Kronobat SHD-180.3 and Tudor TG1803. As the M9 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.
Are truck batteries fitted in pairs?
Almost always, in series for 24 V. Replace them in matched pairs: mixing a new one with an old one unbalances charging and shortens the new one's life.
