Choosing the right battery for the Fiat Freemont from 2011-2016 is crucial for ensuring the vehicle’s reliable operation. The engines of this model do not have a Start-Stop system, which affects the type of battery we should choose.
For the 2.4 and 3.6 petrol engines (both in 4×4 versions and without), batteries with a capacity from 74 Ah to 78 Ah and a starting current in the range of 680-780 A are recommended. Example fitting models are Varta E11, Bosch S40 08, or Lucas LS096.
Similar battery parameters are recommended for the 2.0 JTD and 2.0 JTD 4×4 diesel engines. Here too, the capacity should be within the range of 74-78 Ah, and the starting current between 680-780 A.
When choosing a battery, it’s worth paying attention not only to its technical parameters but also to the manufacturer’s reputation and warranty period. Batteries from brands such as Varta, Bosch, or Lucas have a good reputation on the market. Additionally, remember to regularly check the battery’s condition, especially before the winter season, to avoid starting problems.
An interesting fact is that the Fiat Freemont is a twin model of the Dodge Journey, which means that many components, including batteries, are compatible. Thanks to this, we have a wider selection of spare parts and easier access to service.
