Frequently asked questions

Renault 21 Saloon 2.2 (110 hp, petrol, 1986-1989) takes a conventional 56 Ah, 480 A battery (242 × 175 × 190 mm), with the positive terminal on the right. Compatible batteries offer 56-63 Ah, 480-610 A (CCA), 12 V, case H5/L2, conventional flooded technology. Browse the compatible battery list below.
The exact Ah rating for the Renault 21 Saloon 2.2 depends on the vehicle's original electrical consumers. Compatible batteries offer 56-63 Ah, 480-610 A (CCA), 12 V, case H5/L2, conventional flooded technology. Use our finder for a precise recommendation.
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.
