The list contains batteries in different sizes or capacities (Ah). In many cases both variants fit, but it's worth checking your compartment dimensions and the Ah of your original battery before buying. Choose the one with the same dimensions as your current battery: a bigger one may not fit the compartment or the hold-down. If several match your size, the higher capacity gives more headroom for cold starts.

Frequently asked questions
- DE Tomaso Pantera 5.8 (269 hp, petrol, 1974-1978) takes a conventional 70 Ah, 630 A battery (261 × 175 × 220 mm), with the positive terminal on the left. Compatible batteries offer 70 Ah, 630 A (CCA), 12 V, case D26R, conventional flooded technology. Browse the compatible battery list below.
- The exact Ah rating for the De Tomaso Pantera 5.8 depends on the vehicle's original electrical consumers. Compatible batteries offer 70 Ah, 630 A (CCA), 12 V, case D26R, conventional flooded technology. Use our finder for a precise recommendation.
- You need the make, model and engine. If your car has Start-Stop (the engine switches off at traffic lights), it needs an EFB or an AGM battery, depending on what it came with: if it has an AGM, fit another AGM; if it has an EFB, another EFB or an AGM. On cars with battery management (BMW, Mercedes, VAG group…), moving from EFB to AGM requires coding the new battery. Without Start-Stop, a conventional battery is fine, or an EFB or AGM if you want a longer life.
- A conventional (lead-acid) battery is for cars without Start-Stop. An EFB is a reinforced conventional battery for basic Start-Stop. An AGM offers the highest performance and is fitted as standard on cars with advanced Start-Stop, regenerative braking or high electrical demand. Replacement rule: an AGM only with another AGM; an EFB with another EFB or an AGM; a conventional battery with any of the three. Never move down in technology.
