EFB, AGM or conventional for this engine?
It depends on the version of the Dodge Journey 3.6: if the engine switches itself off at traffic lights it has Start-Stop and needs EFB (or AGM) of around 60 Ah; if not, the conventional battery in the table is fine. If in doubt, check the label on the battery fitted now and never go down a technology level.
Battery analysis for your Dodge Journey 3.6
Quick answer Depending on the equipment, your car uses one of these two main batteries. The most common option is EFB 60 Ah (230×173×222 mm): we recommend TUDOR TL605. Other units use ordinary lead-acid 70 Ah (261×175×220 mm): VARTA E24. Before buying, check the Ah on your current battery's label or measure its length.

📋 What we found
For your Dodge Journey 3.6 we found 8 compatible batteries. This list includes 3 Start-Stop batteries and 5 conventional batteries (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
Does your Dodge Journey 3.6 have a Start-Stop system? It shuts the engine off at short stops (traffic lights, jams) and restarts it automatically when you release the brake/clutch. If your dashboard has an "A-OFF" button or an engine icon with a circular arrow, it has it.

🔋 Technology (AGM / EFB)
Do you know whether your car's current battery is AGM or EFB?
Check your battery label: "AGM" or "VRLA" means AGM; "EFB" means EFB. If it says neither, it is probably conventional: on a Start-Stop car, ask us before buying. Never fit a conventional battery on a Start-Stop car, nor an EFB where an AGM was fitted.

Start-Stop & high energy demand batteries
AGM or EFB battery for start-stop vehicles and for cars with high energy demand (many electrical consumers, frequent starts). More charge cycles, better charge recovery and longer service life.
Does your car have Start-Stop?
Start-Stop switches the engine off at traffic lights. If your car has it, it needs an AGM or EFB battery.
There are no batteries of that type for this engine. Try "Show all" or message us.

Frequently asked questions
- Yes, you can install a higher capacity (Ah) battery as long as the physical dimensions fit your Dodge Journey 3.6 battery compartment and the positive terminal position matches.
- The Dodge Journey 3.6 requires a battery with the correct capacity (Ah) and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) for this engine. Compatible batteries offer 50-70 Ah, 540-815 A (CCA), 12 V, case D23R, conventional flooded technology. Browse the compatible battery list below.
- The exact Ah rating for the Dodge Journey 3.6 depends on the vehicle's original electrical consumers. Compatible batteries offer 50-70 Ah, 540-815 A (CCA), 12 V, case D23R, 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.
- Use the search tool by selecting your vehicle's make and model. Our system automatically filters compatible part numbers verified by our technicians. If you have any questions, contact us via WhatsApp.
- All our batteries come with the legal guarantee provided by consumer law against manufacturing defects. If a battery has a manufacturing defect, it will be replaced at no cost to the user.
- Under normal circumstances, batteries usually arrive within 1 to 2 days of ordering. However, there are some cases where delivery may take a little longer: peak seasons (Black Friday, Christmas, etc.), palletized shipments, occasional stock shortages, etc.
- In mainland Spain delivery takes 24-48 working hours if you order before 6:00 pm (Monday to Friday) and the battery is in stock; mainland Portugal takes 1 to 4 working days, the Balearic Islands 2 to 5 working days and other EU destinations 4 to 7 working days. Batteries are shipped fully charged and ready to install.
- It depends on the version. If your Dodge Journey 3.6 has Start-Stop (the engine switches off by itself at traffic lights) it needs an EFB or AGM battery; if not, a conventional one. To check, look for an "A" or "A-OFF" button near the gear lever, or read the label on your current battery: if it says EFB, AGM or Start-Stop, choose that technology.
