How to know which battery your Citroën C8 takes

The real shortcut is your registration number. It settles generation, engine and factory battery in seconds — exactly where most people get it wrong when buying.

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.

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 C8 needs

Start-Stop on the modern C8 changes the rules: the battery takes hundreds of micro-cycles daily. The correct answer is EFB for basic systems and AGM where braking energy is recovered. Dropping to a conventional battery is the most expensive mistake you can make here.
