Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 13 compatible batteries in total, from 53 to 95 Ah and 500 to 850 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Start-Stop battery Varta A6 12V 80Ah 800A AGM, Car battery Varta F17 12V 80Ah 740A, Car battery Varta G3 12V 95Ah 800A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 64.80 € and 179.99 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, EFB, AGM). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
By the registration year: Transit Courier B460 Box Body/Mpv (2014-2025); Transit Courier B460 Mpv (2014-2025); Transit V363 Platform/Chassis (2013-2025); Transit V363 Van (2013-2025); Transit Connect V408 Box Body/Mpv (2013-2025); Transit V363 Bus (2013-2025). 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.
Yes, as long as the dimensions fit the tray and the terminal layout matches. More capacity (Ah) and more cold cranking (A) do not harm the vehicle: the alternator charges it the same and you gain margin in winter. What you must never do is go below the original figures.
Between 4 and 6 years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last slightly less in city driving because of the number of starts, but they are designed for that cycling. If the car sits unused for weeks or you notice slow cranking in the cold, get it checked.

How to know which battery your Ford Transit takes

Easiest of all is the number plate lookup: those few characters tell us the precise variant, the engine and the original battery, so you need not check anything else.

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.

As a final check, look at the battery currently fitted: the label shows capacity (Ah) and cold cranking amps (A). Always replace with equal or higher figures, never lower, and keep the same dimensions and terminal layout.

Start-Stop: which battery your Transit needs

Start-Stop on the modern Transit 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.
