Varta H3: car battery 12V 100Ah 830A
The Varta H3 is the 12 V, 100 Ah, 830 A (EN cold cranking) car battery from the Varta Dynamic SLI (formerly Silver Dynamic) range, for petrol and diesel cars with a conventional starter and no Start-Stop. 353 × 175 × 190 mm case with the positive terminal on the right: a direct replacement for any original battery of this size.
In short: the Varta H3 (100 Ah, 830 A, 353 × 175 × 190 mm, positive terminal on the right) is one of the 20 best-selling batteries at baterias.com over the last 3 months, rated 4.95 out of 5 by 19 customers. It is a conventional battery for cars without Start-Stop: if yours has Start-Stop, it needs an EFB or AGM battery of the same size. Verified equivalent alternatives: Tudor TA1000 and Exide EA1000.

Format and fitting of the Varta H3
The Varta H3 measures 353 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 21.67 kg. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes the most buying mistakes, so it is worth checking before you order. It has a B13 hold-down, the system that anchors it to the vehicle's battery tray, and standard conical terminals (type 1). Before replacing it, measure the space your current battery occupies: if it matches on all three dimensions and on terminal position, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.
The Varta H3 and the Dynamic SLI range
The Dynamic SLI range is Varta's conventional starter series for cars and vans without a Start-Stop system (identified by the blue label in Varta's new system; it replaces the former Blue, Black and Silver Dynamic). It uses lead-calcium technology with PowerFrame grids that reduce self-discharge and extend service life with no maintenance.
It is the balanced option in the catalogue: it covers most of the European fleet of conventional petrol and diesel vehicles, with ample starting power and excellent value for money. This battery used to belong to Varta's Silver Dynamic range; following the brand's commercial renaming (2025), it now forms part of the new Dynamic SLI series.

Todo perfecto . Funcionamiento óptimo. No tengo ninguna queja. La recomiendo y la recibí más pronto de lo orevisto
Muy buena batería!! siempre compro la misma calidad varta!!!
Bien
Bateria esta fabricada bajo licencia VARTA y un poco se nota en los pequeños detalles pero tambien en su precio. No hay problema en el montaje si pides una bateria con las mismas caracteristicas. Una vez montada notaras un arranque mas potente que la antigua original que a mi sorprendente mente me duro 9 años. En conclusion buena bateria a buen precio y espero que dure. En frio tiene que girar el motor bien pero al arancar depende del buen mantenimiento del motor.El coche es un X5 e53 de gasoil con motor de 3 l. Bateria entra perfecto en el hueco del coche y los bornes coresponden perfectamente.No es start stop que para mi es una gran tonteria que hace producir mas averias costosas como motor de arranque y bateria mas polucion y consumo. Claro que con una bateria nueva debes de notar la fuerza de un arranque muy rapido y potente.
La compré para un LR Discovery 3 cuya batería original (de fábrica) también estaba fabricada por LR. Al sr un producto de recambio, que nadie espere que dure lo mismo que la original, pero dentro de lo que hay disponible para mi coche, esta es 100% compatible en todos los sentidos y tiene una relación calidad / precio correcta. Antes probé otra marcas (Tudor, Bosch, ... ) y aunque también eran 100% compatibles, me duraron algo menos.
Llevo 8 meses con ella en un
Volvo de 20 años y arranca todos los días a la primera, muy recomendable, arranca en frío sin problema.
Cogí la batería grande y entraba perfecta en el hueco que tiene el coche en el maletero. No tuve que hacer nada para instalarla, colocar los bornes y a funcionar.
La llevé a instalar al taller, funciona perfectamente en un automóvil que se arranca muy poco,diesel. Ninguna pega.
De momento funciona perfectamente lo que pasa que para mi modelo tenía que haber cogido con un poco más de pico de arranque
Todo correcto, la batería llegó rápido y en perfecto estado, el precio era bueno y de momento el resultado genial, una experiencia recomendable para cualquier interesado en comprar una batería igual o similar.
Vendedor totalmente recomendable.
Buena batería con gran calidad y un precio inmejorable. Ningún tipo de problema en la colocación. Gran compra.

Frequently asked questions
How do I fit the H3 model in my car?
In most cars it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on our blog. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — with positive on the right match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On cars with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.
What is the service life of the H3 model?
Expected lifespan of the Varta H3 is 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured.
What are the dimensions of the Varta H3 battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 353×175×190 mm — also written as 353x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L5 case size — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your car before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.
On which side is the positive of the H3 model?
Polarity: positive on the right. To identify it, place the battery in front of you with the terminals facing you and check which side the positive (+, marked with a red ring) is on. Before buying, verify the polarity matches your current battery: switching polarity forces longer cables or system reconfiguration, with short-circuit risk.
Under which reference is the Varta H3 listed in catalogues?
The manufacturer reference (MPN) is H3 and its ETN code is 6004020833162 (short form 600 402 083), the European identifier used in spare-part catalogues. The EAN-13 barcode is 4016987167458. It belongs to the Varta Dynamic SLI range. Any of these codes identifies exactly this battery when requesting quotes or comparing prices.
Will the Varta H3 battery fit my car?
Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The H3 fits 963 verified vehicle versions in our database.
Which batteries are equivalent to the Varta H3?
Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop cars. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
