EFB, AGM or conventional for this engine?
Rule of thumb for the Jeep Compass 2.0: fit the same technology as the original or better (conventional → EFB → AGM), with equal or higher capacity and cold cranking amps, and respect the size and terminal position of around 44 Ah.
Battery analysis for your Jeep Compass 2.0
Quick answer Depending on the equipment, your car uses one of these two main batteries. The most common option is AGM 44 Ah (237×172×197 mm): we recommend OPTIMA RTS-3.7. Other units use ordinary lead-acid 60 Ah (232×173×225 mm): VARTA D48. Before buying, check the Ah on your current battery's label or measure its length.

📋 What we found
For your Jeep Compass 2.0 we found 2 compatible batteries. This list includes 1 Start-Stop battery and 1 conventional battery (non Start-Stop).
📏 Battery size
The list contains batteries in different sizes or capacities (Ah). In many cases both variants fit, but it's worth checking your compartment dimensions and the Ah of your original battery before buying. Choose the one with the same dimensions as your current battery: a bigger one may not fit the compartment or the hold-down. If several match your size, the higher capacity gives more headroom for cold starts.
⚡ Battery type for your vehicle
Your Jeep Compass 2.0 has no Start-Stop, but the manufacturer fits an AGM or EFB battery as standard because the charging system requires it. Choose one with the same technology.
🔋 Technology (AGM / EFB)
✓ All Start-Stop batteries in the list are AGM. If your current battery is AGM, this is the right replacement. If it is EFB, an AGM is also a valid upgrade, but on cars with battery management (BMW, Mercedes, VAG group…) it must be registered and coded for the new technology with a diagnostic tool; otherwise the car keeps charging it as an EFB.

Start-Stop & high energy demand batteries
AGM or EFB battery for start-stop vehicles and for cars with high energy demand (many electrical consumers, frequent starts). More charge cycles, better charge recovery and longer service life.
Compare the technologies available for your car
A higher technology withstands more charge and discharge cycles, according to manufacturers. If your car has Start-Stop, it needs EFB or AGM.

Frequently asked questions
- Yes, you can install a higher capacity (Ah) battery as long as the physical dimensions fit your Jeep Compass 2.0 battery compartment and the positive terminal position matches.
- The Jeep Compass 2.0 requires a battery with the correct capacity (Ah) and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) for this engine. Compatible batteries offer 44-60 Ah, 540-730 A (CCA), 12 V, case D23R, conventional flooded technology. Browse the compatible battery list below.
- The exact Ah rating for the Jeep Compass 2.0 depends on the vehicle's original electrical consumers. Compatible batteries offer 44-60 Ah, 540-730 A (CCA), 12 V, case D23R, conventional flooded technology. Use our finder for a precise recommendation.
- You need the make, model and engine. If your car has Start-Stop (the engine switches off at traffic lights), it needs an EFB or an AGM battery, depending on what it came with: if it has an AGM, fit another AGM; if it has an EFB, another EFB or an AGM. On cars with battery management (BMW, Mercedes, VAG group…), moving from EFB to AGM requires coding the new battery. Without Start-Stop, a conventional battery is fine, or an EFB or AGM if you want a longer life.
- A conventional (lead-acid) battery is for cars without Start-Stop. An EFB is a reinforced conventional battery for basic Start-Stop. An AGM offers the highest performance and is fitted as standard on cars with advanced Start-Stop, regenerative braking or high electrical demand. Replacement rule: an AGM only with another AGM; an EFB with another EFB or an AGM; a conventional battery with any of the three. Never move down in technology.
