Frequently asked questions about the Varta U1-9

U1-9 or 12N24-4: which one suits me?

Compared with the U1-9, the Varta 12N24-4 has 2 Ah more and 140 A less cranking power. The U1-9 cranks harder; the 12N24-4 is only a good option if your original battery says 200 A or less. Mind the space: the 12N24-4 measures 186 × 125 × 178 mm.

Varta U1-9 or U1R-9: what is the difference?

Only the polarity: the U1-9 has the positive terminal on the left and the U1R-9 the positive terminal on the right. Capacity (22 Ah), cranking power and dimensions are identical. That is why their ETNs only differ in the middle group: 522 450 034 for the U1-9 and 522 451 034 for the U1R-9.

Is the Varta 522450034 the same battery as the Varta U1-9?

Inside the U1-9: lead-acid technology

Inside, the U1-9 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the U1-9 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.
