Chevrolet Caprice battery: what each engine takes, with prices

Frequently asked questions

Which battery does a Chevrolet Caprice take?

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 2 compatible batteries in total, from 50 to 60 Ah and 540 to 815 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta D43 Dynamic SLI 12V 60Ah 540A, Car battery Optima RTF-4.2 Red Top 12V 50Ah 815A AGM. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

How much does a Chevrolet Caprice battery cost?

Between 63.80 € and 204.95 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (AGM, lead-acid). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.

How do I know which generation my Caprice is?

By the registration year: Caprice (1990-2025); Caprice Estate (1990-1996). If your year falls in the overlap between two generations, tell them apart by body type (hatchback, estate or coupé) or use the plate finder, which settles it with no doubt.

How long does a Chevrolet Caprice battery last?

Four to six years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last a little less in city driving because of the number of restarts, but they are built for that cycling. If the car sits for weeks or cranks slowly in the cold, have it tested.

Can I replace the battery of my Chevrolet Caprice myself?

On most versions, yes: disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive, release the clamp and fit the new battery in reverse order. On Start-Stop models or cars with battery management (BMS), register the new battery with a diagnostic tool so the ECU adjusts charging.
