As you can see, in case of Honda CR-V, even the basic parameters of the batteries (battery layout, terminal types and base hold-down) are not identical for all engine versions. For this reason, care must be taken to match the battery to a specific engine.
The above three petrol engines of the Honda CR-V IV, namely 2.0 ,2.0 AWD and 2.4 AWD, will perform best with batteries of at least 57 Ah capacity. We recommend choosing higher-end battery models for cars with a large number of optional extras. The weakest of these is the battery Exide Excell EB605 which capacity is 60 Ah and Cold Cranking Amps is 390 A. The most powerful battery is Lucas Premium LP014 of a capacity 60Ah and Cold Cranking Amps: 540 A.
Owning a Honda CR-V IV with a 2.0 AWD engine and Start-Stop system means there is a need to use more expensive batteries made with EFB technology. Dimensions of matching batteries differ slightly depending on the manufacturer and are 242x175x190 mm or 243x175x190 mm. The parameters of these batteries are at least 60 Ah of a capacity and 560 A CCA (Cold Cranking Amps). All the batteries in the list above have a base hold-down B13.
For the Honda CR-V IV with 1.6 i-DTEC or 2.2 i-DTEC AWD diesel engines, we recommend batteries sized 230x170x225 mm, 230x173x222 mm or 232x173x225 mm, with a minimum capacity of 57 Ah. The most basic battery of this set is Exide Excell EB605 of a capacity 60Ah and 390A Cold Cranking Amps, the battery with the biggest capacity is Lucas Premium LP014 of a capacity 60 Ah, having 540A Cold Cranking Amps.
