The cranking figure is 1000A, measured to the EN standard, and the capacity is 170Ah. If your engine is large or you live somewhere cold, choose the higher end of what your vehicle allows.
What voltage and amp-hours does this model have?
It is rated 12V and 170Ah. Check your equipment's voltage first: a mismatch can damage electronics or simply not work.
Can I use my usual charger with this battery?
Its technology is lead-acid. The table above repeats it next to the size and ratings.
How lead-acid batteries work and how to look after them
Wet lead batteries started engines long before the first motorway was built. Older cars without auto-stop run happily on flooded batteries. Check acid levels regularly on serviceable batteries.
