    «Con las baterías de arranque para los híbridos hay que tener mucho cuidado, y solo decir que este modelo va perfecto al 100% por tamaño, por colocación de bornes y por la salida de gases.»

    «El coche duerme en garaje y nunca en la calle por lo que no puedo realizar pruebas más duras. El montaje fue cómodo teniendo en cuenta el peso de la batería.»

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 1 compatible batteries in total, from 45 to 45 Ah and 330 to 330 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta B31 Dynamic SLI 12V 45Ah 330A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 47.60 € and 47.60 €, 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: Matrix II (2008-2015); Matrix I (2002-2007). 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.

How to know which battery your Toyota Matrix takes

The quickest and safest route is to enter your number plate: we identify the exact version, its engine and the battery fitted at the factory, with no room for error.

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.

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.

Start-Stop: which battery your Matrix needs

If your Matrix 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.
