Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 6 compatible batteries in total, from 60 to 77 Ah and 540 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, Start-Stop battery Varta A7 Dynamic AGM 12V 70Ah 760A AGM. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 64.95 € and 134.95 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
By the registration year: 940 II (1994-1998); 940 II Estate (1990-1998); 940 (1990-1995); 940 Kombi (1990-1995). 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.
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.

How to know which battery your Volvo 940 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.

You can also work it out yourself: find the registration date in the vehicle documents and locate it in the table. If the year overlaps two generations, the body style — hatch, estate or coupé — tells them apart.

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.

Start-Stop: which battery your 940 needs

The later 940 generations run Start-Stop, which puts the battery through hundreds of micro-cycles a day. These cars require EFB (basic Start-Stop) or AGM (Start-Stop with regenerative braking): fitting a conventional battery instead cuts service life to a few months and the ECU may disable the function. Rule of thumb: never downgrade from the technology fitted at the factory.
