Frequently asked questions

It depends on the engine. Citroën C3-I owners mostly buy Varta D24 Dynamic SLI 60Ah (64.95 €), Varta D15 Dynamic SLI 63Ah (81.80 €) and Tudor TB620 Technica 62Ah (57.80 €) 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 107.40 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM, EFB). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
By the registration year: C3 I (2002-2013). 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.
Standard delivery to mainland Spain and Portugal takes 1-2 working days; other EU countries 4-7 working days. Each product page shows the exact lead time and whether express delivery is available.

How to know which battery your Citroën C3-I 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.

Another route is the vehicle paperwork: the registration date places you in one of the generations listed. In the overlap years, body style is the detail that separates them.

Before ordering, inspect your existing battery: its label lists the Ah and the starting amps. The replacement must match or beat both — never fall short — and share the same size and positive terminal side.

Start-Stop: which battery your C3-I needs

If your C3-I has Start-Stop, the battery works far harder than usual — hundreds of restarts a day rather than a handful. That calls for EFB or AGM, depending on whether the system is basic or includes regenerative braking. A conventional battery there lasts months and can make the car switch Start-Stop off.
