«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 C5-I owners mostly buy Varta E44 Dynamic SLI 77Ah (83.95 €), Varta E11 Dynamic SLI 74Ah (72.95 €) and Exide EB740 Excell 74Ah (61.95 €) 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 64.95 € and 122.95 €, 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: C5 I Estate Van (2002-2004); C5 I (2001-2005); C5 I Break (2001-2004). 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.
