What Battery Fits 2004 VW Golf V632L?

The 2004 VW Golf V632L typically uses a 12V lead-acid battery with specifications matching OEM requirements. Based on compatibility data, common replacements include the Varta Blue Dynamic 560 400 (L2-400) or EFB H5 series (60Ah capacity, 540-640 CCA), designed for compact European vehicles. Pro Tip: Always verify terminal orientation (Euro DIN) and battery tray dimensions (278x175x190mm) to ensure proper fitment in the engine compartment.

What technical specs define the correct battery?

A compatible battery must deliver 12V nominal voltage with 60-72Ah capacity and ≥540 cold cranking amps (CCA). Physical constraints require dimensions ≤300mm length to fit Golf Mk4’s compact tray. Flooded or AGM types both work, but AGM offers 2x cycle life for frequent short drives.

The original equipment battery (e.g., Varta 560 153 036) featured reverse polarity terminals – essential to match. Voltage drop below 11.8V during cranking indicates replacement urgency. For example, the Banner 58011 measures 278x175x190mm with 640 CCA – ideal for cold climates. Pro Tip: Use adapters if upgrading to larger Group H6 batteries (70Ah) for enhanced capacity. Avoid mismatched terminal sizes which cause loose connections.

How do CCA requirements vary by climate?

Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) needs escalate in freezing temperatures. While 540 CCA suffices for temperate regions, northern climates (below -18°C) require 600-640 CCA models like the Bosch S5 008 (640A). Table below compares options:
