    «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 6 compatible batteries in total, from 40 to 60 Ah and 330 to 680 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Start-Stop battery Varta N60 12V 60Ah 640A EFB, Start-Stop battery Varta A8 12V 60Ah 680A AGM, Car battery Varta A14 12V 40Ah 330A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 42.80 € and 118.90 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM, EFB). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
By the registration year: Picanto III (2017-2025); Picanto II (2011-2018); Picanto I (2004-2012). 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.
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.
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.

How to know which battery your KIA Picanto takes

Easiest of all is the number plate lookup: those few characters tell us the precise variant, the engine and the original battery, so you need not check anything else.

Prefer to do it manually? Check the date of first registration on your V5C and match it against the generation table above. When a year straddles two generations, the body style decides it: five-door hatch, estate or coupé.

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 Picanto needs

If your Picanto has Start-Stop, the battery works far harder than usual — hundreds of restarts a day rather than a handful. That calls for EFB or AGM, depending on whether the system is basic or includes regenerative braking. A conventional battery there lasts months and can make the car switch Start-Stop off.
