Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 4 compatible batteries in total, from 70 to 105 Ah and 630 to 850 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta G3 12V 95Ah 800A, Start-Stop battery Varta A5 12V 95Ah 850A AGM, Truck battery Varta H17 12V 105Ah 800A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 80.70 € and 179.99 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
By the registration year: Rover Defender Van (2020-2025); Rover Defender Station Wagon II (2019-2025); Rover Defender Pick Up (1994-2017); Rover Defender Station Wagon I (1990-2017); Rover Defender Cabrio (1990-2016); Rover Defender Platform/Chassis (1990-2016). 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 Land Rover Defender takes

The quickest and safest route is to enter your number plate: we identify the exact version, its engine and the battery fitted at the factory, with no room for error.

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.

One last check: the label on the fitted battery gives you the reference capacity and cold cranking. Match or improve those numbers, and make sure the case size and polarity suit your battery tray.

Start-Stop: which battery your Defender needs

If your Defender 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.
