So the old dame was getting hard to start, needed a boost a couple of times, and was throwing up some 'low voltage' errors. I decided to replace the battery as I had no idea how old it was. Removed the existing battery and the only thing that looks like a date on it was "021106". Could this still be the original battery from 2006? I usually plan for 5 years out of a battery. |

The battery code is F1B6901130035. One Russian decode site does appear to agree that it was made year 2006. '690' being 2006 month "90" which appears to be October. - Click Here - |

Looks like the original type, hope you replaced with a large one. They can have a long life if charged often. I think this is 95Ah / 950CCA ? (That was my original Varta in a 2010 3-0 Hdi). Quite powerful. | ||

Yes, I replaced it with a similar large Varta: Manufacturer Varta Model 6004020833162 Product Dimensions 35.3 x 17.5 x 19 cm; Manufacturer part number 6004020833162 OEM Part Number 600 402 083 Position Left Amperage 100 Amps We shall see if this one lasts for 16 years |
