To select the right battery for a Hyundai i30 I (FD) 2007-2012, several key factors must be considered, such as the engine type, whether the car has a Start-Stop system, and the fuel type. Here’s a summary of the requirements for various engine versions.
For 1.4-liter gasoline engines without the Start-Stop system, a battery with a capacity between 50 and 54 Ah and a starting current of 450 to 540 A is recommended. An example of a suitable model is Varta C30. For the same engine with the Start-Stop system, an AGM battery with a capacity of 60 to 62 Ah and a starting current of 640 to 680 A is advisable. A good example is the Bosch S5A 05.
For the 1.6-liter gasoline version, similar to the smaller engine, the version without Start-Stop requires a standard battery with a capacity of 50 to 54 Ah and a starting current of 450 to 540 A. The Bosch S50 02 is a fitting choice and also works for the smaller 1.4 engine. The Start-Stop version, however, requires an AGM battery with the same parameters as the 1.4 Start-Stop, where the Lucas LF027 is a good option.
If you have a 2.0-liter gasoline engine without the Start-Stop system, it’s best to choose a battery with a capacity of 60 to 65 Ah and a starting current of 540 to 640 A. An example of a suitable model here is Exide EB620.
For 1.6 CRDi diesel engines without the Start-Stop system, a standard battery with a capacity of 60 to 65 Ah and a starting current of 390 to 580 A is recommended, like the Exide EA654. The Start-Stop version, on the other hand, requires an EFB battery with a capacity of 70 to 75 Ah and a starting current of 650 to 760 A, with the Halfords EFB 096 being a good example.
The 2.0 CRDi diesel version without the Start-Stop system should be equipped with a battery with a capacity of 70 to 75 Ah and a starting current of 540 to 630 A, where the Exide EA754 is a suitable choice.
In cars with the Start-Stop system, AGM or EFB batteries are essential, as they are designed to handle frequent engine starts. Standard batteries cannot withstand such strain.
