## How to know which battery your ROVER 400 takes

Easiest of all is the number plate lookup: those few characters tell us the precise variant, the engine and the original battery, so you need not check anything else.

You can also work it out yourself: find the registration date in the vehicle documents and locate it in the table. If the year overlaps two generations, the body style — hatch, estate or coupé — tells them apart.

As a final check, look at the battery currently fitted: the label shows capacity (Ah) and cold cranking amps (A). Always replace with equal or higher figures, never lower, and keep the same dimensions and terminal layout.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which battery does a ROVER 400 take?
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 12V 60Ah 540A, Car battery Varta B18 12V 44Ah 440A, Car battery Varta C22 12V 52Ah 470A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

### How much does a ROVER 400 battery cost?
Between 45.10 € and 83.99 €, 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.

### How do I know which generation my 400 is?
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.

### 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 ROVER 400 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.
