Measuring 518 × 276 × 242 mm and with the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for lorries that leave the factory with a 200 Ah battery in this format. - High cranking current for large-capacity diesel engines. - Tolerance of the vibration of thousands of kilometres on the road. - Reinforced grids and casing for the severe demands of haulage. - Reliability through repeated starts and when powering cab equipment. ### Vehicles compatible with the Varta N2 battery The Varta N2 is compatible with more than 145 vehicles: it is fitted as standard or as a replacement by brands such as Komatsu, Volvo, Allis-Chalmers, Fiat, Zetor and Fahr. For anyone who needs to change the **battery in their Komatsu** or Volvo, this Varta N2 reproduces the original specifications. Added to that list are models from Caterpillar, Hitachi, Lamborghini, Joy Sullivan, Case, Ingersoll, Case International and Matisa. ### Size and fitting of the Varta N2 In terms of format, the Varta N2 measures 518 × 276 × 242 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 53,61 kg. The positive terminal on the left determines which side the cables run to: it is the detail that causes the most buying mistakes, so it is worth checking before ordering. It uses a B00 hold-down and a type 1 terminal, 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 N2 and the ProMotive SLI range The **ProMotive SLI** range is Varta's starter line for industrial vehicles — lorries, buses and machinery — which in the new portfolio unifies the former ProMotive HD (Heavy Duty) and SHD (Super Heavy Duty). It offers a high cranking current for large-capacity diesel engines and a reinforced construction. Its reinforced grids and separators cope with 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. An industrial vehicle demands a high cranking current and the stamina to shrug off the vibration of thousands of kilometres. This series uses reinforced grids and a rugged construction to handle repeated starts of large diesel engines and the draw of the cab's auxiliary equipment. *This battery used to belong to Varta's **ProMotive HD** or **ProMotive SHD** range; following the brand's commercial renaming (2025), it forms part of the new **ProMotive SLI** series.* ### Why choose a Varta battery A good share of the vehicles on Europe's roads left the factory with a Varta fitted: the brand has been supplying the assembly lines of the major car groups for decades. Replacing with Varta means, in practice, giving the vehicle back the battery its manufacturer intended. 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 N2 battery comes with the **official manufacturer warranty**. One important warning for industrial vehicles: most lorries carry **two batteries wired 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; that imbalance leaves one overcharged and the other short, shortens the life of the new unit, and the manufacturer may treat it as misuse and **void 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 the factors that shorten its life the 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 no-start. ### Technical sheet Download the official technical sheet for this battery with all the manufacturer data.

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 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 — 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 N2 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Varta N2 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 measurements of the N2 model? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 518×276×242 mm — also written as 518x276x242 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. ### Will the Varta N2 battery fit my truck? 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 N2 fits 73 verified vehicle versions in our database. ### What are the equivalents of the N2 model? 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 73 vehicles.
