Vibration-resistant, withstands long cold-diesel cranks and deep discharges during parking with active loads (tachograph, refrigeration, heater). ### Why this truck battery? - **True Heavy Duty** built for intensive professional use - **Long cold-diesel cranks** reliable even in extreme cold - **Powers services at idle** tachograph, heater and lights with engine off 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 100 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 720 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 313×175×205 mm ⚙️ Technology Lead-acid 🧭 Polarity Positive on the right ⚖️ Weight 22,32 kg 🏷️ Model ProMotive SLI ## Description ## Varta H9 ProMotive SLI (formerly ProMotive HD) 100Ah 720A 12V Lorry Battery 12*V* Voltage 100*Ah* Capacity 720*A* Cold cranking 24.9*kg* Weight The **Varta H9 lorry battery** is the **12 V**, **100 Ah** model delivering **720 A** of cold cranking power (EN), from Varta's **ProMotive SLI (formerly ProMotive HD)** range, designed for lorries, buses, large vans and machinery. Its 313 × 175 × 205 mm dimensions and positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 100 Ah battery fitted as standard in many lorries. - Reinforced grids and casing for the severe demands of haulage. - Dependable through repeated starts and while powering cab equipment. - High cranking current for large-capacity diesel engines. - Withstands the vibration of thousands of kilometres on the road. ### Vehicles compatible with the Varta H9 battery The Varta H9 is compatible with more than 22 vehicles: it is fitted as standard or as a replacement by makes such as Carraro, Huerlimann, Claas, Case IH, Agrifull and Goldini. It is a benchmark choice when you need a **battery for a Carraro**, a Huerlimann or other models built around this same format. Added to that list are models from Deutz-Fahr, New Holland and Same. ### Format and fitting of the Varta H9 In format, the Varta H9 measures 313 × 175 × 205 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 24.9 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. 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 H9 and the ProMotive SLI range The **ProMotive SLI** range is Varta's starter series for commercial vehicles — lorries, buses and machinery — and in the new portfolio it unifies the former ProMotive HD (Heavy Duty) and SHD (Super Heavy Duty). It offers high cranking current for large-capacity diesel engines and a reinforced construction. Its reinforced grids and separators stand up to the vibration and cycling of long-distance haulage and of the most severe use, aiming for maximum service life and starting reliability in fleets that work long hours. Compared with a car battery, this range is calibrated for severe, continuous use: greater mechanical strength and more tolerance of cycling and of the knocks of the road. It is the correct replacement for a lorry, bus or machine working long shifts. *This battery used to belong to Varta's **ProMotive HD** or **ProMotive SHD** range; following the brand's commercial renaming (2025), it now forms part of the new **ProMotive SLI** series.* ### Why choose a Varta battery Varta is an original equipment (OEM) supplier to a good share of Europe's car manufacturers: many cars leave the factory with a Varta fitted. Buying a replacement means, in most cases, refitting the original battery with the same quality and the brand's official warranty. Varta combines more than a century of experience with Clarios's industrial production: it is the battery many manufacturers choose as standard and one of the most recommended by workshops. Like any lead-acid battery, it is 100% recyclable. Varta's production combines automated lines with verification of more than 100 parameters per unit; that traceability is what underpins its reputation for reliable starting throughout the battery's life. ### Manufacturer's warranty The Varta H9 battery comes with the **official manufacturer warranty**. An important warning for commercial vehicles: most lorries run **two batteries connected in series** (a 24 V installation). If you replace only one, the new battery ends up working alongside the old one — which has already lost capacity and has higher internal resistance — and that imbalance means one overcharges while the other falls short, shortens the life of the new unit and may be treated by the manufacturer as improper use, **voiding the warranty**. That is why it is always advisable to change **both batteries at the same time**. ### Care and maintenance In professional use, checking the state of charge and the battery hold-down regularly prevents breakdowns on the road. Vibration and the high temperatures of the engine bay are what shortens a battery's life most, so secure mounting is key. Keeping the terminals clean and tight and checking the charging system extends battery life in vehicles that clock up long hours. A well-maintained battery reduces the risk of downtime caused by a battery that will not start the engine. ### Technical sheet Download the official technical sheet for this battery with all the manufacturer data. [Download technical sheet (PDF)](/fichastecnicas/data-sheet-battery-varta-h9-100ah-720a-12v-en.pdf) ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I change this battery step by step? In most trucks 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 trucks with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How long does the Varta H9 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Varta H9 is 4 to 6 years in regular truck 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 H9 battery? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 313×175×205 mm — also written as 313x175x205 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your truck before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals. ### Is the H9 valid for my vehicle? 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 H9 fits 22 verified vehicle versions in our database. ### Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one? 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 trucks. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level. ## Compatible vehicles This battery fits 22 vehicles.
