Standard MG batteries
Many conventional petrol and diesel MG models use a standard 12V starter battery. Compare the physical size, terminal layout, hold-down and starting performance with the battery currently fitted before ordering.

Find the right replacement battery for your MG
MG vehicles range from compact city cars and family hatchbacks to SUVs, hybrids and fully electric models. The correct replacement battery must match the required technology, capacity, cold cranking performance, dimensions, terminal position and hold-down.
Our MG battery finder uses vehicle application data to narrow down suitable Lucas batteries for popular models including the i10, i20, i30, Tucson, Kona, Santa Fe, Ioniq and ix35.
MG EFB batteries
EFB batteries are commonly fitted to MG stop-start vehicles with moderate cycling demands. If EFB is specified, replace it with the same technology or a manufacturer-approved AGM upgrade.
MG AGM batteries
Higher-specification stop-start, hybrid and electrically demanding MG models may require AGM technology. Where AGM is fitted, do not downgrade to a standard flooded battery.
MG battery sensors and intelligent charging
Some newer MG vehicles use intelligent battery sensors and controlled charging systems to monitor battery condition and electrical demand. After replacement, the system may need time to relearn the new battery or may require a reset depending on the exact model and year.
Always match the original battery technology and specification, especially when the vehicle is fitted with stop-start or hybrid technology.
MG stop-start battery replacement
If your MG 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 MG approves a different specification.
MG hybrid and electric vehicle 12V batteries
MG hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles still use a separate 12V battery for vehicle electronics, locking, lighting and control systems. This finder identifies the 12V battery, not the high-voltage traction battery used to power the hybrid or electric drivetrain.

MG battery FAQs
How do I find the correct battery for my MG?
Use the MG 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 MG stop-start model need a special battery?
Usually yes. MG stop-start vehicles normally require EFB or AGM technology. Replace the battery like-for-like unless the manufacturer specifies an approved alternative.
Can I replace a MG AGM battery with a standard battery?
Normally no. If AGM is specified, fit an AGM replacement. A conventional battery may not cope with the charging strategy, stop-start operation or electrical demands of the vehicle.
Is the battery shown for a MG hybrid or EV the main traction battery?
No. The finder is for the separate 12V battery, not the high-voltage traction battery used by the hybrid or electric drive system.
