## How to know which battery your HYUNDAI Lantra 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.

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.

One last check: the label on the fitted battery gives you the reference capacity and cold cranking. Match or improve those numbers, and make sure the case size and polarity suit your battery tray.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which battery does a HYUNDAI Lantra take?
It depends on the generation and engine: there are 7 compatible batteries in total, from 45 to 70 Ah and 300 to 630 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta C22 12V 52Ah 470A, Car battery Varta B32 12V 45Ah 330A, Car battery Varta C30 12V 54Ah 530A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

### How much does a HYUNDAI Lantra battery cost?
Between 45.30 € and 83.10 €, 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 Lantra is?
By the registration year: Lantra II (1995-2002); Lantra II Estate (1995-2001); Lantra I (1990-1995). 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.

### Can I fit a battery with more amps?
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.

### How long does a HYUNDAI Lantra battery last?
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.
