Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 5 compatible batteries in total, from 44 to 74 Ah and 440 to 750 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta E38 Dynamic SLI 12V 74Ah 750A, Car battery Varta B18 Dynamic SLI 12V 44Ah 440A, Car battery Varta C30 Dynamic SLI 12V 54Ah 530A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 57.90 € and 90.20 €, 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: Exige II (2012-2025); Exige Convertible (2012-2025); Exige I (2000-2012). 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.
On most versions, yes: disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive, release the clamp and fit the new battery in reverse order. On Start-Stop models or cars with battery management (BMS), register the new battery with a diagnostic tool so the ECU adjusts charging.
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 Lotus Exige take?

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

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 Exige needs

If your Exige 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.
