I would assume the 60 is the capacity and the 570/590 is the maximum current.

Its not rearly a significant differance, just means that the 590 could run a 3.5% more powerful starter motor than the 570.

One number may just be the type, mine's a 069 for example.

Then there's capacity in amp-hours, though I might expect a little higher and the bigger number might be cold cranking amps which is self-explanitory.

But they could just as easlily be someone lottery numbers :roll:

62 Amp/Hours 570 CCA (Cold Crank Amps)
60 Amp/Hours 590 CCA (Cold Crank Amps)

there is not much differences between them as they are both strong enough to turn a TDi over.

one of mine is 75 A/H 600 CCA and the other is 60 A/H 590 CCA and they turn the V8 over well fast
