Can I install a higher capacity battery in my Proton Savvy 1.2?

Yes, you can install a higher capacity (Ah) battery as long as the physical dimensions fit your Proton Savvy 1.2 battery compartment and the positive terminal position matches.

What battery fits the Proton Savvy 1.2?

The Proton Savvy 1.2 requires a battery with the correct capacity (Ah) and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) for this engine. Compatible batteries offer 45 Ah, 330 A (CCA), 12 V, case B24, conventional flooded technology. Browse the compatible battery list below.

How many Ah does the Proton Savvy 1.2 battery need?

The exact Ah rating for the Proton Savvy 1.2 depends on the vehicle's original electrical consumers. Compatible batteries offer 45 Ah, 330 A (CCA), 12 V, case B24, conventional flooded technology. Use our finder for a precise recommendation.

What type of battery does my car need?

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.

What is the difference between AGM, EFB and standard batteries?

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.

How do I find the right battery for my vehicle?

How long does it take for the battery to arrive?

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.

⭐ Our recommendation

Our recommendation

For your Proton Savvy 1.2 we recommend the VARTA B31 (ordinary lead-acid, 45 Ah). It's the battery recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for your Proton Savvy 1.2 — the OEM equivalent. It also has the highest capacity (Ah) on the list — more autonomy to power consumers with the engine off and more reserve for prolonged loads. Varta is the world's leading manufacturer of starter batteries and supplies first-equipment (OEM) batteries to the major European car makers.

Before you buy: check 3 key points

Although the batteries shown are sourced from information provided by manufacturers, we recommend checking on your current battery:

Dimensions (length × width × height, including terminals and protrusions)
The dimensions shown are the maximum of the battery and include the height of the terminals, small ridges at the base and any lateral protrusions. Measure your current battery completely, from edge to edge. The new one must be the same size or slightly smaller — never larger, it would not fit in the housing.
Positive terminal (left or right viewed from the front — check the battery photo carefully)
Stand facing the battery, with the manufacturer's label facing you and the terminals on top. Locate the terminal marked with +: if it is on your right, it is "positive right"; if it is on your left, it is "positive left". Do not rely on how the battery is mounted in the car — the position is always measured looking only at the battery itself.
Technology (AGM, EFB or conventional — Start-Stop requires AGM or EFB)
Depending on the manufacturer, the same technology may be labelled differently: AGM may also appear as VRLA, AGM Start-Stop or AGM Deep Cycle. EFB may appear as EF, EFB+ or Enhanced Flooded Battery. Conventional may appear as SLI, Lead-Acid, Wet or Standard. If your vehicle has Start-Stop, the battery must be AGM or EFB — never conventional.

If you have any questions, just ask us and we'll be glad to advise you with no obligation.
