Frequently asked questions
- It depends on the engine. Chrysler PT-Cruiser owners mostly buy Varta D24 Dynamic SLI 60Ah (64.95 €), Optima RTC-4.2 Red Top 50Ah (185.80 €) and Varta D15 Dynamic SLI 63Ah (81.80 €) from us. The table shows the recommended battery for each engine with its price (VAT included) and a link to its page; with your number plate or VIN 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.
- 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.
- 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.
