«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 engine. KIA Rio owners mostly buy Varta D47 60Ah (69.95 €), Varta A8 60Ah (107.40 €) and Varta E23 70Ah (83.80 €) from us. The table shows the recommended battery for each engine with its price (VAT included) and a link to its page; with your number plate or VIN we tell you the exact one in seconds.
- Between 47.95 € and 134.95 €, 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: Rio IV (2017-2025); Rio IV Hatchback Van (2017-2025); Rio IV Saloon (2017-2025); Rio X-Line IV Hatchback (2017-2025); Rio III (2011-2017); Rio III Hatchback Van (2011-2025). 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.
