    «Tinha uma igual no carro faz 6 anos. Testada num analisador da saúde da bateria da TOPDON apresentou ainda uns 200CCA dos teóricos 330 que deverá ter tido. Mas já se notava que estava a ficar fraca, custava a virar o motor. Comprei agora es»

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 1 compatible batteries in total, from 40 to 40 Ah and 330 to 330 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta A15 Dynamic SLI 12V 40Ah 330A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 43.80 € and 43.80 €, 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.
By the registration year: Life II (2001-2025); Life I (1997-2001). 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.
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.
It lasts only a few months: Start-Stop puts the battery through hundreds of cycles a day and a conventional battery cannot cope. The ECU may also disable the automatic stop function. Always fit EFB or AGM, the same technology as the original.

Which battery does a Honda Life take?

It depends on the engine and on whether it has Start-Stop. The table shows the recommended battery for each Honda Life engine with its price, VAT included; with your number plate or VIN we tell you the exact one in seconds.

How to know which battery your Honda Life 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.

You can also work it out yourself: find the registration date in the vehicle documents and locate it in the table. If the year overlaps two generations, the body style — hatch, estate or coupé — tells them apart.

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.

Start-Stop: which battery your Life needs

The later Life generations run Start-Stop, which puts the battery through hundreds of micro-cycles a day. These cars require EFB (basic Start-Stop) or AGM (Start-Stop with regenerative braking): fitting a conventional battery instead cuts service life to a few months and the ECU may disable the function. Rule of thumb: never downgrade from the technology fitted at the factory.
