Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 7 compatible batteries in total, from 50 to 63 Ah and 470 to 815 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta D24 12V 60Ah 540A, Car battery Varta D15 12V 63Ah 610A, Car battery Varta C22 12V 52Ah 470A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 54.40 € and 185.80 €, 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.
By the registration year: Pt Cruiser Combi Van (2002-2008); Pt Cruiser (2000-2010); Pt Cruiser Convertible (2000-2010). 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.
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.
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.

How to know which battery your Chrysler PT-Cruiser takes

Easiest of all is the number plate lookup: those few characters tell us the precise variant, the engine and the original battery, so you need not check anything else.

Prefer to do it manually? Check the date of first registration on your V5C and match it against the generation table above. When a year straddles two generations, the body style decides it: five-door hatch, estate or coupé.

One last check: the label on the fitted battery gives you the reference capacity and cold cranking. Match or improve those numbers, and make sure the case size and polarity suit your battery tray.
