## How to know which battery your Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class 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.

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.

Before ordering, inspect your existing battery: its label lists the Ah and the starting amps. The replacement must match or beat both — never fall short — and share the same size and positive terminal side.

## Start-Stop: which battery your GLA-Class needs

The later GLA-Class generations run Start-Stop, which puts the battery through hundreds of micro-cycles a day. These cars require EFB (basic Start-Stop) or AGM (Start-Stop with regenerative braking): fitting a conventional battery instead cuts service life to a few months and the ECU may disable the function. Rule of thumb: never downgrade from the technology fitted at the factory.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which battery does a Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class take?
It depends on the generation and engine: there are 3 compatible batteries in total, from 13 to 80 Ah and 200 to 800 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Start-Stop battery Varta A7 12V 70Ah 760A AGM, Start-Stop battery Varta A6 12V 80Ah 800A AGM, Car battery Varta AUX14 12V 13Ah 200A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

### How much does a Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class battery cost?
Between 70.20 € and 149.95 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (AGM). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.

### How do I know which generation my GLA-Class is?
By the registration year: Gla-Class (2013-2022). 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.

### Can I fit a battery with more amps?
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.

### How long does a Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class battery last?
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.
