## Fiat Tempra generations

Batteries change from one generation to the next. When two share a year, the body style — or simply the plate — settles it.

## How to know which battery your Fiat Tempra 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.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which battery does a Fiat Tempra take?
It depends on the generation and engine: there are 3 compatible batteries in total, from 56 to 63 Ah and 480 to 610 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta D24 Dynamic SLI 12V 60Ah 540A, Car battery Varta D15 Dynamic SLI 12V 63Ah 610A, Car battery Varta C14 Dynamic SLI 12V 56Ah 480A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

### How much does a Fiat Tempra battery cost?
Between 56.40 € and 81.80 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.

### How do I know which generation my Tempra is?
By the registration year: Tempra S.w. (1990-1997); Tempra (1990-1998). 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.

### How do I know the battery in my Fiat Tempra is worn out?
Typical signs: sluggish cranking in the cold, headlights dimming on start-up, a battery warning on the dash or electronics resetting. A workshop can check resting voltage (below 12.4 V means discharged) and cranking capacity in a minute.

### How long does a Fiat Tempra battery last?
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.
