The Dacia Duster 2 (2018-) is a compact SUV that is popular for its versatility and good value for money. Choosing the right battery for this model primarily depends on the engine type and the presence of a Start-Stop system.

For petrol versions like the 1.6 SCe 115 (84 kW), whether 4×2, 4×4, or LPG, lead-acid batteries with a capacity between 50 and 54 Ah and a cranking current of 450 to 540 A are required. Examples of compatible batteries include Bosch S40 02, Exide EA530, and Varta C22.

If the Duster is equipped with a 1.0 TCe 100 (74 kW) or 1.3 TCe 130 (96 kW) engine, batteries with slightly larger capacities (60-65 Ah) and cranking currents from 540 to 640 A are recommended. Examples include Bosch S40 05, Exide EA640, and Varta D15. For versions with the Start-Stop system, EFB batteries such as Bosch S4 E05 or Varta D53 are required.

For diesel engines, such as the 1.5 dCi 90 (66 kW) or 1.5 Blue dCi 115 (85 kW), batteries with similar specifications are used. However, in Start-Stop versions, EFB batteries with higher cranking currents (650-760 A) are necessary. Consider models like Bosch S4 E08, Exide EL700, or Varta E45.

Interestingly, the Start-Stop system, which requires EFB batteries, allows for fuel savings in urban conditions. A well-chosen battery also ensures the proper functioning of additional features like multimedia systems or power steering. It is important to regularly check the battery’s condition, especially in winter, to avoid starting issues.

Dacia Duster in version 2 is produced from 2018. The following table presents information about batteries that match each of the engines available on the market.
