    «La batería llegó en buen estado a las 48 horas, y una vez colocada en el vehículo arranca éste sin problema alguno, si bien es cierto que todavía no ha llegado el crudo invierno, pero de momento, en temperaturas algo más bajas de este otoño»

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the engine. Citroën C3-II owners mostly buy Tudor TA722 High Tech 72Ah (65.30 €), Tudor TA612 High Tech 61Ah (57.10 €) and Exide EL600 60Ah (76.80 €) 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 124.98 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, EFB, AGM). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
By the registration year: C3 II Hatchback Van (2010-2025); C3 II (2009-2025). 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.
Four to six years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last a little less in city driving because of the number of restarts, but they are built for that cycling. If the car sits for weeks or cranks slowly in the cold, have it tested.
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.

How to know which battery your Citroën C3-II 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.

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.

Start-Stop: which battery your C3-II needs

The later C3-II generations run Start-Stop, which puts the battery through hundreds of micro-cycles a day. These cars require EFB (basic Start-Stop) or AGM (Start-Stop with regenerative braking): fitting a conventional battery instead cuts service life to a few months and the ECU may disable the function. Rule of thumb: never downgrade from the technology fitted at the factory.
