VARTA ProMotive Black Technology

The ProMotive Black range is designed as a reliable commercial starting solution for vehicles with conventional electrical requirements. Its robust flooded lead-acid construction makes it well suited to professional applications such as agriculture, construction, transport and industrial machinery.

For vehicles with extensive onboard equipment, overnight electrical loads, frequent cycling or more demanding energy requirements, always check whether the vehicle manufacturer specifies a higher-duty ProMotive battery technology.

Using the VARTA I8 in 24V Systems

Although the VARTA I8 is a 12V battery, many commercial vehicles and larger items of machinery operate using a 24V electrical system. In these applications, two matching 12V batteries may be connected in series to provide the required 24V supply.

When replacing batteries in a paired 24V installation, it is generally advisable to replace both batteries together with two matching batteries. Mixing batteries of different ages, capacities or states of health can cause uneven charging and discharging, potentially reducing starting performance and overall service life.

Type 627 Fitment

The VARTA I8 uses the Type 627 commercial battery format. Commercial batteries with similar Ah or CCA ratings are not necessarily interchangeable, as case dimensions, terminal orientation and mounting arrangements can differ.

Always compare the physical dimensions, positive and negative terminal positions, cable reach and fixing arrangement with the battery currently installed before ordering.

Important Fitment Information

Before ordering the VARTA I8 ProMotive Black, check the specification of the existing battery carefully. Confirm the voltage, capacity, cold-cranking rating, physical dimensions, terminal orientation and mounting arrangement to ensure compatibility with the intended vehicle or equipment.

If two batteries are installed as part of a 24V starting system, both batteries should ideally be the same model, capacity, specification and age. Installing a matched pair helps maintain balanced charging and dependable starting performance.

Why Choose the VARTA I8 ProMotive Black?
