Kronobat EV-95-AGM EV AGM Start Stop · Battery 95Ah 850A

Yes. AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, 95 Ah and 12 V: sealed lead-acid, with the electrolyte held in glass fibre. Compared with a conventional battery it withstands more charge/discharge cycles and handles heat better; it is the required technology for cars with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking.

AGM batteries support advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking thanks to their higher cycle count. The Kronobat EV-95-AGM is AGM, so yes, it is designed for Start-Stop cars. If the car recovers energy when braking, AGM is recommended for its higher cycle count; for basic Start-Stop, EFB. The manufacturer's specification comes first. It needs nothing to work, though on most modern cars registering it via OBD is advisable so the alternator adjusts its charging profile.

With Start-Stop there are three more points: the negative terminal usually carries a battery sensor (IBS), so undo the cable at the terminal nut without removing the sensor; register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile; and fit the same technology as the original (AGM or EFB) or higher, because a conventional battery wears out within months. On most cars it is a 15-30 minute job needing only a 10 mm spanner (up to twice as long when the battery is under a seat or in the boot). Steps: 1) switch off and remove the key; 2) find the battery (bonnet, boot or under a seat); 3) undo the negative (−), then the positive (+); 4) remove the clamp and the old battery; 5) fit the new one facing the same way (positive on the right) to match the polarity; 6) connect the positive (+) and finally the negative (−). For the detail, read our guide to replacing the car battery and, if in doubt, the owner's handbook or a main dealer.

As a rough estimate, the Kronobat EV-95-AGM typically lasts 5 to 8 years in mild-climate car use with Start-Stop; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. What weighs most: temperature (cold makes starts harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), frequent short trips, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power draw while parked and maintenance, not forgetting the type of car and Start-Stop.

Its dimensions are 353×175×190 mm, also written 353x175x190 mm; the height already includes the terminals. In European terms it is a L5 case. Check the room available in your car, because a single millimetre too much can stop the clamp from closing.

Polarity of the Kronobat EV-95-AGM: positive on the right. It must match your current battery: reversed polarity means lengthening cables or reconfiguring the system, with a risk of short circuit. Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring.

Three routes: the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, with the vehicles verified by our technical team; your number plate in the finder, from which DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine; and WhatsApp, with make, model, engine and year, during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). Always cross-check with what the car manufacturer states in the owner's handbook. The EV-95-AGM typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.

See the "Equivalents" section of this page for the recommended options at the same performance level. Mind the technology: in Start-Stop cars an EFB is not swapped for a conventional battery. A battery interchangeable with the Kronobat EV-95-AGM must match it on dimensions (353×175×190 mm), polarity (positive on the right), capacity (95 Ah) and cranking current (850 A).

It is the verified Exide equivalent for the EV-95-AGM tray. Compared with the EV-95-AGM it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs 27,40 € less. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same.

The Varta alternative that fits where the EV-95-AGM goes, with the same polarity. Compared with the EV-95-AGM it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs 21,70 € more. A straight swap with nothing to adapt; the difference is the price and the brand you prefer.

Capacity of the EV-95-AGM: 95 Ah. In an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery the electrolyte is held in a glass-fibre mat: no spills, and many more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional battery. Hence it is recommended for advanced Start-Stop with regenerative braking, such as BMW EfficientDynamics, Mercedes Eco, Audi MHEV, Land Rover ECO or Volvo i-Stop, and it handles tilting, vibration and extreme temperatures better than an EFB.

The alternator detects the new battery and adapts the charge automatically, so on most cars it is not compulsory. Even so, it is advisable to register it via OBD so charging is optimum from the first minute and the battery lasts longer, particularly on BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo or Land Rover, with more sophisticated BMS. Without registration there is no starting problem: the alternator adjusts the profile within a few days. Any workshop with an OBD scanner does it in a few minutes; DIY, with VCDS or Carista (VAG group), Bimmercode (BMW) or iCarsoft.
