Product Number: HC096
Variations
Classic car electrical systems demand a battery that delivers consistent cranking power and long-term reliability without the complexity of modern stop-start chemistry. The Hella HC096 is a 12V 70Ah lead-acid starter battery purpose-built for conventional petrol and diesel vehicles where dependable ignition performance is the primary requirement. It is not suitable for start-stop applications.
Hella engineers each battery to the highest manufacturing specification, using lead-acid technology optimised for stable voltage delivery and sustained cycle life in standard automotive electrical environments. The HC096 produces 640A Cold Cranking Amps (EN), providing robust starting power across a wide range of operating temperatures and load conditions.
The HC096 measures 278mm × 175mm – 189mm (L × W × H) and weighs 17.5kg. It is housed in a Type L03 case, uses Terminal Type 1 with Polarity 0 (positive terminal right), and features a B13 hold-down configuration. The battery cross-references directly to the industry-standard Type 096 fitment group, making it a straightforward replacement for a broad range of compatible vehicles.
Two further variants are available within the Hella Classic range: HC017 (PID000222422) and HC100 (PID000222427), catering to alternative capacity and fitment requirements.
The HC096 is covered by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, providing confidence in long-term performance and dependable everyday use.
