Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 5 compatible batteries in total, from 72 to 85 Ah and 680 to 800 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 E43 12V 72Ah 680A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 90.20 € and 149.95 €, 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 Custom V362 Van (2012-2025); Transit Custom V362 Bus (2012-2025). 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 Custom takes

The quickest and safest route is to enter your number plate: we identify the exact version, its engine and the battery fitted at the factory, with no room for error.

Another route is the vehicle paperwork: the registration date places you in one of the generations listed. In the overlap years, body style is the detail that separates them.

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 Custom needs

If your Transit Custom has Start-Stop, the battery works far harder than usual — hundreds of restarts a day rather than a handful. That calls for EFB or AGM, depending on whether the system is basic or includes regenerative braking. A conventional battery there lasts months and can make the car switch Start-Stop off.
