Frequently asked questions

KIA K2500 Platform/Chassis 2.5 D (94 hp, diesel, from 2003) uses a conventional 125 Ah, 950 A battery (286 × 269 × 230 mm). A conventional battery is enough; for a longer life, an EFB or AGM with the same dimensions also works. Compatible batteries offer 125 Ah, 950 A (CCA), 12 V, case NATO, conventional flooded technology. Browse the compatible battery list below.
If your Kia K2500 Platform/chassis 2.5 D has start-stop, regenerative braking or many electrical accessories, you will need an AGM or EFB battery. Check your vehicle's technical specifications.
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.
