Whether you need the right battery for a specific vehicle, need to determine the exact installation location or need detailed installation instructions, TVH is here to help.

Which battery to select?

Batteries today are developed with a specific goal. Consequently, you need to match them with the right machine to benefit from their specific advantages. The first step in choosing the right battery for an industrial vehicle is determining if the vehicle disposes of a start-stop system. This can easily be checked in the manual of the vehicle.

Once this step has been completed, choosing the right VARTA battery depends on their specifications.

Silver dynamic AGM

With a cycle life that triples that of conventional batteries, this battery is a real powerhouse. Thanks to its unparalleled performance, the VARTA Silver Dynamic AGM is an easy choice for vehicles that need the highest energy possible, such as vehicles with a start-stop system or electric vehicles. These needs can also be because of heavy usage, hot or cold weather or the use of various accessories and equipment.

Advantages of the VARTA Silver Dynamic AGM:

  • Fuel economy: Optimised start-stop system to save more fuel.
  • 90% of a newly produced VARTA AGM battery consists of recycled lead.
  • With the Original Spare Parts service, VARTA guarantees the replacement battery is of the same quality as the original one.
  • Increased reliability thanks to a cycle life 3 times that of conventional batteries, which means you can always count on it as a power source.

Note that an AGM battery must always be replaced with an AGM. VARTA batteries should be installed by a professional workshop.
