Buy car, motorcycle and truck batteries online

At baterias.com you can locate the battery compatible with your vehicle in three ways: enter your registration plate in our search tool (it returns the original equivalent battery instantly), browse by car make and model, or enter the OEM reference or part number of your current battery. The system cross-references over 25,000 vehicles with the leading manufacturers database to guarantee correct voltage, capacity (Ah), cold cranking amps (CCA) and polarity.

Conventional lead-acid batteries are the most affordable option and are fitted to cars without start-stop. EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) is an upgraded technology that withstands more charge-discharge cycles and suits basic start-stop systems. AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries hold the electrolyte in fibreglass, deliver twice the cycle life of EFB and are mandatory on vehicles with advanced start-stop and regenerative braking. Rule of thumb: if your car has regenerative braking you need AGM; if it has only basic start-stop, EFB is sufficient.

Standard shipping within mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24 to 48 working hours. We also offer express delivery before 2 pm on the next working day for orders placed before 6 pm (excluding weekends and bank holidays). Delivery to the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Germany typically takes 3 to 5 working days. The Balearic and Canary Islands have specific delivery times depending on the product.

Yes. We provide a professional at-home battery installation service in the main Spanish cities: Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Seville, Valencia, Zaragoza and other major capitals. A qualified technician travels to the customer location or to wherever the vehicle is parked, fits the battery in 30 to 60 minutes and takes the old battery away for free recycling. The service is usually delivered within 1 to 3 hours of order confirmation.

Every battery sold at baterias.com is covered by a minimum 2-year manufacturer warranty against production defects, in accordance with European consumer goods legislation. Varta, Tudor, Exide and Optima batteries carry the official manufacturer warranty, which can be up to 4 years on some premium models. We only sell brand-new batteries with recent production dates (no more than 6 months old), never refurbished or old stock.

Yes. Within mainland Spain and Portugal, returns are free for the first 14 calendar days after delivery, provided the battery has not been installed or modified. If you order the wrong model, contact customer service and we will arrange free collection and dispatch the correct battery. For the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Germany returns are accepted within the same 14-day window but the return shipping cost is the customer responsibility.

The clearest signs that a battery is at the end of its life are: the engine cranks slowly or takes longer than usual to start (especially in cold weather), the dashboard or headlights look dim at idle, the start-stop system stops working and a warning light appears, or the car simply will not start after a couple of days without use. Age is also a clue: most batteries perform well between 3 and 5 years; if yours is over 4-5 years old it is worth checking it with a tester or having it inspected before being stranded.

They are the three key electrical parameters of any starter battery. <strong>Ah (amp-hour)</strong> is the capacity: how much energy it stores (more Ah = more reserve for consumers). <strong>CCA (Cold Cranking Amps)</strong> is the cold cranking current: the power it delivers at -18 °C for 30 seconds without voltage falling below 7.2 V (more CCA = better cold starts). <strong>RC (Reserve Capacity)</strong> is the reserve capacity: the minutes the battery delivers 25 A at 25 °C before voltage drops below 10.5 V (it tells you how long it lasts if the alternator fails). As a rule, match the original Ah and CCA from the manufacturer; raising the CCA is safe, lowering it is not.

Yes, as long as the higher-capacity battery fits physically in the tray (same length × width × height and same polarity), has the same voltage (12 V) and the same terminal type. Increasing 5 to 15 Ah over the original is completely safe and provides more reserve for cars with many accessory loads (audio, navigation, heating, camping fridges). What you should NOT do is reduce capacity or CCA below the manufacturer specification: you would lose margin on cold starts and the alternator may not charge correctly.

It depends on the level of start-stop. If your car has basic start-stop (it switches the engine off at long stops and starts it again when you press the clutch/brake) an <strong>EFB</strong> is usually enough. If your car has advanced start-stop with <strong>regenerative braking (micro-hybrid, mild-hybrid)</strong> an <strong>AGM</strong> is mandatory: that system charges the battery at very high currents that only an electrolyte immobilised in fibreglass can withstand. The safest option is to enter your registration plate in our finder: it automatically detects the technology your vehicle requires from VIN/equipment.

A typical lead-acid or EFB battery lasts 3-5 years, an AGM can last 6-8 years and a cyclic gel or LiFePO4 battery up to 10 years in leisure use. Real lifetime depends on several factors: climate (extreme heat speeds up sulphation), driving patterns (short trips discharge more than the alternator can replace), number of starts per day (urban start-stop), accessory loads (high-power audio, fridges) and the health of the charging system. For seldom-used cars we recommend a battery maintainer during long idle periods to extend life.
