Choosing the right battery for Fiat Grande Punto (2005–2012) primarily depends on the engine version and whether the Start-Stop system is present. A properly selected battery ensures the car functions smoothly, making it essential to pick a model suited to the vehicle’s needs.
For petrol engines like the 1.2 (69 hp) without Start-Stop, batteries with a capacity of 44 Ah and a starting current of 400–420 A are recommended. Examples include Bosch S40 00, Exide EB440, and Varta B36. For 1.2 and 1.4 engines powered by petrol or LPG, a capacity of 50–54 Ah and a starting current of 450–540 A is suitable. Compatible batteries include Bosch S50 02, Exide EA530, and Varta C22.
Petrol engines with Start-Stop systems, such as the 1.4 Abarth or 1.2 (69 hp), require EFB technology batteries with a capacity of 60–65 Ah and a starting current of 560–640 A. Examples of suitable models are Bosch S4 E05, Exide EL600, and Varta D53.
For diesel engines like the 1.3 Multijet (without Start-Stop), recommended batteries have a capacity of 50–54 Ah and a starting current of 450–540 A, such as Bosch S40 02, Exide EA530, or Varta C30. Models with higher demands, such as the 1.9 Multijet, require batteries with a capacity of 60–65 Ah or even 74–78 Ah for higher-powered versions. Examples include Bosch S50 08, Exide EA770, and Varta E11.
