📋 What we found
For your Opel Meriva B MPV 1.7 Cdti we found 6 compatible batteries. This list includes 2 Start-Stop batteries and 4 conventional batteries (non Start-Stop).
📏 Battery size
The list contains batteries in different sizes or capacities (Ah). In many cases both variants fit, but it's worth checking your compartment dimensions and the Ah of your original battery before buying. Choose the one with the same dimensions as your current battery: a bigger one may not fit the compartment or the hold-down. If several match your size, the higher capacity gives more headroom for cold starts.
⚡ Battery type for your vehicle
Does your Opel Meriva B MPV 1.7 Cdti have a Start-Stop system? It shuts the engine off at short stops (traffic lights, jams) and restarts it automatically when you release the brake/clutch. If your dashboard has an "A-OFF" button or an engine icon with a circular arrow, it has it.

🔋 Technology (AGM / EFB)
✓ All Start-Stop batteries in the list are AGM. If your current battery is AGM, this is the right replacement. If it is EFB, an AGM is also a valid upgrade, but on cars with battery management (BMW, Mercedes, VAG group…) it must be registered and coded for the new technology with a diagnostic tool; otherwise the car keeps charging it as an EFB.

Does your car have Start-Stop?
Start-Stop switches the engine off at traffic lights. If your car has it, it needs an AGM or EFB battery.

Frequently asked questions
- Opel Meriva B MPV 1.7 Cdti (110 hp, diesel, 2010-2015): depending on the equipment, it takes a 70 Ah, 760 A AGM battery (278 × 175 × 190 mm) with Start-Stop, or a conventional 72 Ah, 680 A battery (278 × 175 × 175 mm) without it. In every case the positive terminal is on the right. Compatible batteries offer 70-80 Ah, 680-800 A (CCA), 12 V, case H6/L3, conventional flooded and Start-Stop (EFB/AGM) technology. Browse the compatible battery list below.
- If your Opel Meriva B Mpv 1.7 Cdti has start-stop, regenerative braking or many electrical accessories, you will need an AGM or EFB battery. Check your vehicle's technical specifications.
- You need the make, model and engine. If your car has Start-Stop (the engine switches off at traffic lights), it needs an EFB or an AGM battery, depending on what it came with: if it has an AGM, fit another AGM; if it has an EFB, another EFB or an AGM. On cars with battery management (BMW, Mercedes, VAG group…), moving from EFB to AGM requires coding the new battery. Without Start-Stop, a conventional battery is fine, or an EFB or AGM if you want a longer life.
- A conventional (lead-acid) battery is for cars without Start-Stop. An EFB is a reinforced conventional battery for basic Start-Stop. An AGM offers the highest performance and is fitted as standard on cars with advanced Start-Stop, regenerative braking or high electrical demand. Replacement rule: an AGM only with another AGM; an EFB with another EFB or an AGM; a conventional battery with any of the three. Never move down in technology.
- Use the search tool by selecting your vehicle's make and model. Our system automatically filters compatible part numbers verified by our technicians. If you have any questions, contact us via WhatsApp.
- All our batteries come with the legal guarantee provided by consumer law against manufacturing defects. If a battery has a manufacturing defect, it will be replaced at no cost to the user.
- Under normal circumstances, batteries usually arrive within 1 to 2 days of ordering. However, there are some cases where delivery may take a little longer: peak seasons (Black Friday, Christmas, etc.), palletized shipments, occasional stock shortages, etc.
- In mainland Spain delivery takes 24-48 working hours if you order before 6:00 pm (Monday to Friday) and the battery is in stock; mainland Portugal takes 1 to 4 working days, the Balearic Islands 2 to 5 working days and other EU destinations 4 to 7 working days. Batteries are shipped fully charged and ready to install.
- It depends on the version. If your Opel Meriva B MPV 1.7 Cdti has Start-Stop (the engine switches off by itself at traffic lights) it needs an EFB or AGM battery; if not, a conventional one. To check, look for an "A" or "A-OFF" button near the gear lever, or read the label on your current battery: if it says EFB, AGM or Start-Stop, choose that technology.
