What it means that the N5 is lead-acid
Inside, the N5 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the N5 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.

Frequently asked questions about the Varta N5
N5 or N2: which one suits me?
Compared with the N5, the Varta N2 has 20 Ah less and 100 A less cranking power. The N5 cranks harder; the N2 is only a good option if your original battery says 1,050 A or less. Both measure 518 × 276 × 242 mm, so they fit the same tray.
What does the code 720 018 115 on the Varta N5 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 720018115. The first three digits (720) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 220 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (018) identifies the specific model within that capacity, and the last three digits (115) multiplied by 10 give the cold cranking current: 1,150 A.
How much does the Varta N5 weigh?
56.79 kg, with 220 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta N2 (200 Ah) weighs 53.61 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Varta N5?
With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Kronobat SHD-225.3, Exide EG2253 and Exide EG2254. As the N5 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.
