Chevrolet Lumina battery: what each engine takes, with prices

Frequently asked questions

Which battery does a Chevrolet Lumina take?

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 3 compatible batteries in total, from 44 to 70 Ah and 540 to 730 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta E24 Dynamic SLI 12V 70Ah 630A, Car battery Varta D43 Dynamic SLI 12V 60Ah 540A, Car battery Optima RTU-3.7 Red Top 12V 44Ah 730A AGM. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

How much does a Chevrolet Lumina battery cost?

Between 63.80 € and 187.30 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM). 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 Lumina is?

By the registration year: Lumina Saloon III (2007-2013); Lumina Saloon II (1999-2007); Lumina Saloon I (1990-2001); Lumina Apv Mpv (1990-1996); Lumina Coupe (1990-1994). 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.

What happens if I fit a standard battery to a Chevrolet Lumina with Start-Stop?

It lasts only a few months: Start-Stop puts the battery through hundreds of cycles a day and a conventional battery cannot cope. The ECU may also disable the automatic stop function. Always fit EFB or AGM, the same technology as the original.

Can I replace the battery of my Chevrolet Lumina 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.
