FAQs

What does 48 H6 mean on a battery? ›

What is a H6 battery? It's a DIN battery size that is sometimes also referred to as a Group 48 battery. Rectangular in shape, with recessed top post terminals, the OPTIMA H6 YELLOWTOP is 10.94 inches long, 7.48 inches tall and 6.89 inches wide, weighing in at just over 54 pounds.

For example there are the typical BCI Group Sizes used in the USA, but often the exact same Battery used in a European Car has a DIFFERENT name. For example the “Group48” size as it is called in the USA, is also called the “H6” Size by the European Manufacturers.

Size 48 (H6) (top terminal): Fits many vehicles from Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Volkswagen, and Volvo.

Will AutoZone replace your battery? Yes!

A properly maintained AGM battery usually lasts somewhere between three and four years, but this depends on the amount that you use it. Also, the amount that you drive your vehicle plays a role in how long the battery will last.

Interesting fact: The only difference, dimensionally speaking, between a group 47, 48, and 49 is length.

Capacity is how much charge your battery has and is given in Ah (ampere-hour) (30 Ah means a current of 1 amps could flow for 30 h or vice versa) if you multiply it with voltage you get Wh (how much power can it supply for 1 hour).

Many vehicles that use the H5 or H6 can often use one or the other or even a larger H7. As such, vehicle owners are often curious what the difference is between the batteries and if they can save a few dollars or save a few pounds by going with a smaller battery.

Although some vehicles may accommodate a battery from more than one group size, it is important that you use a battery approved for use in your vehicle.

Some of the batteries themselves are manufactured by Johnson Controls, which also manufacture Duralast, Varta, AC Delco, as well as 20 other brands. For a time, DieHard batteries were also manufactured by Exide. The same company that makes DieHard and Sears car batteries produces Duralast car batteries.

Now, a good reason to step up to a Duralast Gold battery is because it's engineered to deliver the maximum cold cranking amps in extreme temperatures and while using extra accessories, and the reserve capacity ratings meet or exceed your vehicle's original requirements.

No. This is a tip free company.

If your car battery is having trouble, AutoZone store associates can test or charge your battery for free.

Another way to measure the capacity of the battery is in Watt-hours (Wh). Wh is calculated by multiplying the number of Amps with the battery voltage. For example, a 12V100 (a 12 volt battery with a capacity of 100Ah) has a capacity of 12 x 100 = 1200Wh. A 24V50Ah battery has a capacity of 24 x 50 = 1200Wh.

An ampere hour combines the amount of current with the time taken for a battery to completely discharge. A simple way to look at it is: 1 ampere of current flowing for one hour. During the hour, the amount of charge transferred in is 3,600 coulombs (ampere-seconds). The ampere hour rating is displayed on the battery.
