The Honda CR-V II (2001-2006) is a popular SUV that requires properly selected batteries depending on the engine version. This model exclusively uses traditional lead-acid batteries, but the type of mounting and technical parameters can vary between petrol and diesel versions.
Petrol engines with 2.0 and 2.4 VTEC require batteries with a capacity of 45 Ah and a cold cranking current of 330 A. Examples of compatible models include Bosch S40 21, Exide EB454, and Varta B32. It’s worth noting the unusual B0 mounting type, which differs from the popular B13. Choosing the correct mounting is essential to ensure the battery fits securely in the vehicle’s mounting brackets.
For the 2.2 CTDi diesel engine, batteries with a capacity of 74 Ah to 78 Ah and a cranking current of 680 A to 780 A are recommended. Examples include Bosch S50 08, Exide EA770, and Varta E11. Diesel engines require higher-performance batteries due to their greater energy demand during start-up. Additionally, a higher-capacity battery ensures reliable operation even in challenging weather conditions.
Interestingly, the Honda CR-V II, thanks to its versatility and spaciousness, became one of the best-selling SUVs of its era. Selecting the right battery not only enhances user comfort but can also extend the lifespan of the vehicle’s electrical system. Regularly checking the battery’s charge status, especially before winter, is highly recommended.
