Help decoding battery type

[Hodders]

I need a new battery. From the current (original) one I can tell it's AGM, but I also need to make sure it's the right physical size and suitable for the stop-start of the car.

Anybody kind enough to explain what it all means and suggest a replacement?

AGM70L-DIN is the starting point, the capacity is 70ah (amp hours), 120RC (reserve capacity), 12v (volts), 660cca (cold cranking amps), no idea what 608a(EN) is, probably a standard.

To save you the hassle, buy this:

Varta Silver Dynamic A7 (E39) AGM 12v 70Ah 760CCA Type 096 Car Battery Varta E39 | eBay UK

High Power and Performance - 75Ah and 760CCA. This particular battery - The Varta A7 replaces the E39 which was previously strongly associated with start stop vehicles. Varta realised that their batteries can be used for much wider purposes such as Electric Vehicles as well as AGM batteries.

Depending on the car, it may need coding in. Find out before disconnecting anything.

I presume an AGM battery lasts longer when the car is not being driven too. I’ve got one in my Smart because it has stop start and I take my car for a good 45 minute 23 mile drive once a week.

Never had a problem starting it in the 4.5 years I’ve owned it.
