## How to know which battery your TOYOTA Cresta 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.

Another route is the vehicle paperwork: the registration date places you in one of the generations listed. In the overlap years, body style is the detail that separates them.

Before ordering, inspect your existing battery: its label lists the Ah and the starting amps. The replacement must match or beat both — never fall short — and share the same size and positive terminal side.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which battery does a TOYOTA Cresta take?
It depends on the generation and engine: there are 1 compatible batteries in total, from 60 to 60 Ah and 540 to 540 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta D47 12V 60Ah 540A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

### How much does a TOYOTA Cresta battery cost?
Between 63.15 € and 63.15 €, 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 Cresta is?
By the registration year: Cresta V Saloon (1996-2001); Cresta IV Saloon (1992-1996); Cresta III Saloon (1990-1992). 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 TOYOTA Cresta 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.
