Saab 900 battery: what each engine takes, with prices

Frequently asked questions

Which battery does a Saab 900 take?

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 7 compatible batteries in total, from 56 to 77 Ah and 480 to 780 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta E11 Dynamic SLI 12V 74Ah 680A, Car battery Varta E44 Dynamic SLI 12V 77Ah 780A, Car battery Varta D24 Dynamic SLI 12V 60Ah 540A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

How much does a Saab 900 battery cost?

Between 56.40 € and 85.40 €, 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 900 is?

By the registration year: 900 II (1993-1999); 900 II Coupe (1993-1999); 900 II Convertible (1993-1999); 900 I Combi Coupe (1990-1994); 900 I (1990-1993); 900 I Convertible (1990-1994). 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.

How long does a Saab 900 battery last?

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.

How do I know the battery in my Saab 900 is worn out?

Typical signs: sluggish cranking in the cold, headlights dimming on start-up, a battery warning on the dash or electronics resetting. A workshop can check resting voltage (below 12.4 V means discharged) and cranking capacity in a minute.
