Toyota Avensis II (T25) (2003-2008) – batteries


The Toyota Avensis II (T25) from 2003 to 2008 is a versatile car that requires a suitable battery depending on the engine version and its energy demands. All engines in this model use traditional lead-acid batteries, making the choice somewhat simpler, but it’s essential to pay attention to parameters such as capacity, cold cranking amps, and dimensions.

For petrol engines ranging from 1.6 to 2.4 liters, recommended batteries have a capacity of 55 Ah to 65 Ah and a cold cranking current of 460 A to 640 A. Examples of compatible models include Bosch S30 05, Exide EA640, and Varta C14. It’s also crucial to consider the battery installation space to ensure proper dimensions. Petrol engines are less demanding, allowing users to choose batteries with standard specifications.

For diesel engines like the 2.0 D-4D, suitable batteries have a capacity of 70 Ah to 78 Ah and a cold cranking current of 640 A to 780 A. Examples include Bosch S40 08, Exide EA770, and Varta E11. More powerful units like the 2.2 D-4D and 2.2 D-CAT require higher-performance batteries with capacities from 80 Ah to 90 Ah and a cold cranking current of up to 800 A. Suitable examples are Bosch S50 11, Exide EA900, and Varta F16. Diesel engines require higher-capacity batteries, especially in challenging weather conditions.

Interestingly, the Toyota Avensis T25, despite its simple technologies, was one of the most reliable models in its class. Regularly checking the battery’s condition and alternator charging can significantly extend battery life and enhance user experience.

Toyota Avensis in version II (T25) was produced in the years 2003 – 2008. Below we present the specifications of batteries suitable for specific engines.
