Frequently asked questions
- It depends on the generation and engine: there are 8 compatible batteries in total, from 70 to 95 Ah and 680 to 850 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta E11 12V 74Ah 680A, Car battery Varta E44 12V 77Ah 780A, Start-Stop battery Varta A7 12V 70Ah 760A AGM. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
- Between 74.95 € and 179.99 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM, EFB). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
- By the registration year: California T6 Camper (2015-2024); California T5 Camper (2003-2016); California T4 Camper (1990-2004). 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.
- 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.
- 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.
