Frequently asked questions
- It depends on the generation and engine: there are 11 compatible batteries in total, from 41 to 61 Ah and 330 to 600 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta D24 Dynamic SLI 12V 60Ah 540A, Car battery Varta B18 Dynamic SLI 12V 44Ah 440A, Car battery Varta C22 Dynamic SLI 12V 52Ah 470A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
- Between 53.20 € and 84.60 €, 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: 400 II II (1995-2000); 400 II Hatchback (1995-2000); 400 Tourer (1993-1998); 400 II I (1990-1995). 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.
