    «La he colocado en un Kia Sportage 1.6 GDI del 2016. No lleva Start-Stop. Lo hice yo mismo en poco más de 5 minutos. Encaja perfectamente en el sitio. La anterior me duró casi 7 años. Ya le costaba un poco arrancar. Con esta lo hace a la pri»

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 1 compatible batteries in total, from 95 to 95 Ah and 830 to 830 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta G7 Dynamic SLI 12V 95Ah 830A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 96.90 € and 96.90 €, 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: Bongo Van (2003-2025); Bongo Platform/Chassis IV (2003-2025); Bongo Bus (2003-2025); Bongo Platform/Chassis III (1996-2004); Bongo Platform/Chassis I (1990-1999); Bongo Platform/Chassis II (1990-1993). 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.
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.
Four to six years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last a little less in city driving because of the number of restarts, but they are built for that cycling. If the car sits for weeks or cranks slowly in the cold, have it tested.

Which battery does a KIA Bongo take?

It depends on the engine and on whether it has Start-Stop. The table shows the recommended battery for each KIA Bongo 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 KIA Bongo 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.

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 Bongo needs

The later Bongo 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.
