Frequently asked questions

It depends on the engine. smart Forfour owners mostly buy Varta D47 Dynamic SLI 60Ah (69.95 €), Exide EL600 60Ah (76.80 €) and Varta A8 Dynamic AGM 60Ah (107.40 €) from us. The table shows the recommended battery for each engine with its price (VAT included) and a link to its page; with your number plate or VIN we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 44.80 € and 107.40 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, EFB, AGM). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
By the registration year: Forfour Hatchback (2014-2025); Forfour (2004-2006). 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.
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.
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 to know which battery your smart Forfour takes

The real shortcut is your registration number. It settles generation, engine and factory battery in seconds — exactly where most people get it wrong when buying.

Prefer to do it manually? Check the date of first registration on your V5C and match it against the generation table above. When a year straddles two generations, the body style decides it: five-door hatch, estate or coupé.

One last check: the label on the fitted battery gives you the reference capacity and cold cranking. Match or improve those numbers, and make sure the case size and polarity suit your battery tray.

Start-Stop: which battery your Forfour needs

If your Forfour has Start-Stop, the battery works far harder than usual — hundreds of restarts a day rather than a handful. That calls for EFB or AGM, depending on whether the system is basic or includes regenerative braking. A conventional battery there lasts months and can make the car switch Start-Stop off.
