## How to know which battery your Volvo V40 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.

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 V40 needs

Start-Stop on the modern V40 changes the rules: the battery takes hundreds of micro-cycles daily. The correct answer is EFB for basic systems and AGM where braking energy is recovered. Dropping to a conventional battery is the most expensive mistake you can make here.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which battery does a Volvo V40 take?
It depends on the engine. Volvo V40 owners mostly buy Varta A7 Dynamic AGM 70Ah (122.95 €), Varta E44 Dynamic SLI 77Ah (83.95 €) and Tudor TK720 AGM Microhybrid 72Ah (108.60 €) 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.

### How much does a Volvo V40 battery cost?
Between 59.10 € and 160.45 €, 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.

### How do I know which generation my V40 is?
By the registration year: V40 Hatchback Van (2013-2015); V40 Hatchback (2012-2019); V40 Cross Country (2012-2019); V40 Estate (1995-2004). 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.

### How do I know the battery in my Volvo V40 is worn out?
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 long does a Volvo V40 battery last?
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.
