Find the right replacement battery for your Citroën
Citroën vehicles include compact city cars, family hatchbacks, SUVs, MPVs and vans, so battery requirements differ widely across the range. The correct replacement must match the required technology, capacity, cold cranking performance, dimensions, terminal position and hold-down.
Our Citroën battery finder uses vehicle application data to narrow down suitable Lucas batteries for popular models including the C1, C3, C4, C5 Aircross, Berlingo, Dispatch, Relay and SpaceTourer.
Citroën EFB batteries
EFB batteries are commonly fitted to Citroën stop-start vehicles with moderate cycling demands. If EFB is specified, replace it with the same technology or an approved upgrade.
Citroën AGM batteries
Higher-specification Citroën models may require AGM technology for repeated engine restarts, intelligent charging and greater electrical demand. Where AGM is fitted, do not downgrade.
Citroën BSI reset and battery replacement
Many Citroën vehicles use a Body Systems Interface, commonly called the BSI, to manage electrical functions. Battery disconnection and reconnection should be carried out carefully because the BSI can be sensitive to voltage interruption and incorrect procedures.
After replacement, settings such as windows, clocks, central locking or other electronic functions may need to be reinitialised. Persistent warning lights or electrical issues may require diagnostic equipment.
Citroën stop-start battery replacement
If your Citroën automatically switches the engine off when stationary and restarts it when you move away, it will normally require an EFB or AGM battery. Replace the fitted technology like-for-like unless Citroën approves a different specification.

Citroën battery FAQs
How do I find the correct battery for my Citroën?
Use the Citroën battery finder and select your model, year, engine and fuel type. Then compare the recommended dimensions, terminal layout and hold-down with the battery currently fitted.
Does a Citroën battery replacement need a BSI reset?
Not every model needs a formal reset, but the BSI can be sensitive to battery disconnection. Follow the correct procedure and check whether any systems need reinitialising afterwards.
Can I replace a Citroën AGM battery with a standard battery?
Normally no. If AGM is specified, fit an AGM replacement. A conventional battery may not cope with the stop-start system, charging strategy or electrical demands of the vehicle.
Why has stop-start stopped working on my Citroën?
Stop-start may be disabled when battery charge or condition is too low. Temperature, electrical demand and other operating conditions can also temporarily prevent the system from working.
