Hyundai i10 I (PA) (2008-2013) – batteries


Choosing the right battery for the Hyundai i10 I (PA) from 2008 to 2013 is crucial for the trouble-free operation of the car. Regardless of the engine version, most models of this vehicle have similar battery requirements.

Models with 1.1 (49 kW and 51 kW) and 1.2 (57 kW and 63 kW) petrol engines are not equipped with the Start-Stop system. They require standard batteries with a capacity ranging from 38 Ah to 40 Ah and a starting current between 300-330 A. An example of a suitable battery model is the Exide EA386.

The version with the 1.1 CRDi (55 kW) diesel engine also lacks the Start-Stop system and uses the same battery specifications as the petrol models. This means that the Exide EA386 is also appropriate for this engine. It’s worth noting that despite differences in fuel type, the battery requirements remain the same.

When purchasing a battery, attention should be paid to its capacity and starting current to ensure optimal engine performance, especially in challenging weather conditions. Since these models do not have the Start-Stop system, there is no need to invest in more expensive AGM batteries.

An interesting fact is that the Hyundai i10 I is known for being a reliable and economical city car. The simplicity of this model’s design makes choosing and replacing the battery relatively easy and affordable. However, it’s advisable to select batteries from reputable manufacturers to ensure longer lifespan and better performance.
