## How to know which battery your Chrysler LHS takes

The real shortcut is your registration number. It settles generation, engine and factory battery in seconds — exactly where most people get it wrong when buying.

You can also work it out yourself: find the registration date in the vehicle documents and locate it in the table. If the year overlaps two generations, the body style — hatch, estate or coupé — tells them apart.

As a final check, look at the battery currently fitted: the label shows capacity (Ah) and cold cranking amps (A). Always replace with equal or higher figures, never lower, and keep the same dimensions and terminal layout.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which battery does a Chrysler LHS take?
It depends on the generation and engine: there are 2 compatible batteries in total, from 44 to 50 Ah and 730 to 815 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Optima RTS-4.2 12V 50Ah 815A AGM, Car battery Optima RTS-3.7 12V 44Ah 730A AGM. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

### How much does a Chrysler LHS battery cost?
Between 187.40 € and 190.80 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (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 LHS is?
By the registration year: Lhs (1997-2001); Lhs Saloon (1993-1997). 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.

### Can I fit a battery with more amps?
Yes, as long as the dimensions fit the tray and the terminal layout matches. More capacity (Ah) and more cold cranking (A) do not harm the vehicle: the alternator charges it the same and you gain margin in winter. What you must never do is go below the original figures.

### How long does a Chrysler LHS battery last?
Between 4 and 6 years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last slightly less in city driving because of the number of starts, but they are designed for that cycling. If the car sits unused for weeks or you notice slow cranking in the cold, get it checked.
