Based on the batteries we found for your vehicle, our experts help you pick the right one.

📋 What we found

For your Dodge Caliber 2.0 CRD we found 2 compatible batteries. This list includes 1 Start-Stop battery and 1 conventional battery (non Start-Stop).

📏 Battery size

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.

⚡ Battery type for your vehicle

✓ Your Dodge Caliber 2.0 CRD does not need a Start-Stop battery. The conventional ones shown fit your vehicle and are the most affordable option. If you want a higher-quality, longer-lasting battery, you can also fit an EFB or AGM as an upgrade — they are fully compatible and last more years.

🔋 Technology (AGM / EFB)

✓ All Start-Stop batteries in the list are AGM. If your current battery is AGM, this is the right replacement. If it is EFB, an AGM is also a valid upgrade, but on cars with battery management (BMW, Mercedes, VAG group…) it must be registered and coded for the new technology with a diagnostic tool; otherwise the car keeps charging it as an EFB.

Varta is the world's leading manufacturer of starter batteries and supplies first-equipment (OEM) batteries to the major European car makers.

Frequently asked questions

Dodge Caliber 2.0 CRD (120 hp, diesel, 2006-2011) uses a conventional 74 Ah, 680 A battery (278 × 175 × 190 mm), with the positive terminal on the left. A conventional battery is enough; for a longer life, an EFB or AGM with the same dimensions also works. Compatible batteries offer 44-74 Ah, 680-730 A (CCA), 12 V, case 25 (BCI), conventional flooded technology. Browse the compatible battery list below.
The exact Ah rating for the Dodge Caliber 2.0 Crd depends on the vehicle's original electrical consumers. Compatible batteries offer 44-74 Ah, 680-730 A (CCA), 12 V, case 25 (BCI), 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.
