## Varta YB16L-B vs YTX20L-BS, YB16-B and YB16CL-B

How the YB16L-B compares with Varta batteries of similar size and capacity:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta YB16L-B (this one) | 19 Ah | 240 A | 176 × 101 × 156 | right | 6.06 kg |
| Varta YTX20L-BS | 18 Ah | 250 A | 177 × 88 × 156 | right | 5.96 kg |
| Varta YB16-B | 19 Ah | 240 A | 176 × 101 × 156 | left | 6.06 kg |
| Varta YB16CL-B | 19 Ah | 240 A | 176 × 101 × 176 | right | 6.13 kg |
| Varta TX20HL (FA) | 18 Ah | 310 A | 176 × 89 × 154 | right | 6.55 kg |

- Varta YTX20L-BS: 1 Ah less, 10 A more cranking power, a different case (177 × 88 × 156 mm), AGM technology.
- The Varta YB16-B is the same battery with the positive terminal on the other side: choose it if your current battery has the positive terminal on the left.
- Varta YB16CL-B: the same capacity, the same cranking power, a different height (176 mm instead of 156 mm). It only fits if there is room for 176 mm of height.
- Varta TX20HL (FA): 1 Ah less, 70 A more cranking power, a different case (176 × 89 × 154 mm), AGM technology.

## What to look at before buying the YB16L-B

- The YB16L-B needs 176 × 101 × 156 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the YB16L-B is on the right.
- Your current battery should say about 19 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- The YB16L-B delivers 240 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
