## Description

## 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.
Who it is for: petrol or diesel cars without Start-Stop that take the 353 × 175 × 190 mm size. If your car has Start-Stop, it needs an EFB or AGM battery.

### Vehicles compatible with the Varta H3 battery

This battery is listed as compatible with more than 417 vehicles from manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, Citroën, Renault, BMW, Nissan and Fiat. For anyone who needs to change the **battery in their Mercedes-Benz** or Citroën, this Varta H3 reproduces the original specifications. Added to that list are models from Peugeot, Audi, Opel, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, Iveco, Jaguar and Ford. In our database it is listed as approved against 222 original equipment references, which gives an idea of its real coverage of the fleet. Not sure whether it is the right one for your car? Check in seconds by entering your **registration number** in our finder.

### Format and fitting of the Varta H3

In format, the Varta H3 measures 353 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 22.6 kg. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables end up on: this is the detail behind more wrong purchases than any other, so it is worth checking before you order. It takes a B13 hold-down and terminal 1, the system that anchors it to the vehicle's battery tray. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

### 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 series uses lead-acid technology with plates optimised for a good balance between starting power and service life. It is the natural replacement when your car has no Start-Stop and came with a standard battery from the factory: the same thinking, without paying over the odds for a chemistry you do not need. *This battery used to belong to Varta's **Silver Dynamic**, **Silver Dynamic** or **Black Dynamic** range; following the brand's commercial renaming (2025), it now forms part of the new **Dynamic SLI** series.*

### Frequently asked questions about the Varta H3

#### Is the positive terminal of the Varta H3 on the right or the left?

On the right, looking at it from the front with the terminals nearest you. Check your current battery before ordering: with the positive on the other side, the cables will not reach.

#### Can the Varta H3 be used in a Start-Stop car?

No. It is a conventional battery; a Start-Stop car needs an EFB or AGM of the same size, otherwise the battery will not last long.

#### How do I know whether the Varta H3 is the right battery for my vehicle?

With your number plate: the finder identifies your vehicle and shows only compatible batteries. If you prefer to check by hand, compare the dimensions (353 × 175 × 190 mm), the position of the positive terminal and the technology with your current battery.

## 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 this page. 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 — 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.

### 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.
