Frequently asked questions about the Varta N9
N9 or N5: which one suits me?
Compared with the N9, the Varta N5 has 5 Ah less. With the same cranking power (1,150 A), the N9 and the N5 differ in capacity: the one with more Ah supports more load with the engine off. Both measure 518 × 276 × 242 mm, so they fit the same tray.
What does the code 725 103 115 on the Varta N9 mean?
It is its ETN (European Type Number), also written 725103115. The first three digits (725) encode voltage and capacity: 12 V and 225 Ah (5xx = under 100 Ah, 6xx = 100 to 199 Ah, 7xx = 200 Ah or more). The middle group (103) 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 N9 weigh?
54.41 kg, with 225 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta N5 (220 Ah) weighs 56.79 kg.
