If you own a Renault 19 I Convertible from 1991-1992, choosing the right battery is crucial for maintaining the reliability and comfort of your car. Depending on the engine version, different battery models with specific technical parameters are required.
For the 1.8 16V engine version, lead-acid batteries with a capacity of 41 to 52 Ah and a starting current range of 360 to 520 A are recommended. It is important to note the battery height – in this case, models with a reduced height of 175 mm are required. Examples of compatible models include Bosch S30 01, Exide EA472, Halfords HB 063, and Varta A17.
For the 1.7 engine version, batteries with a slightly higher capacity, from 44 to 54 Ah, and a starting current of up to 540 A are recommended. Compatible battery models include Bosch S30 02, Exide EA530, Halfords HCB 012, and Varta C30. When selecting a battery, ensure that it meets the specific technical requirements of your vehicle.
An interesting fact is that the Renault 19 Convertible was one of the brand’s first convertibles to gain popularity due to its elegant design and exceptional driving comfort. By choosing the right battery, you not only ensure reliable engine startup but also the proper functioning of electrical systems, such as the radio or lighting, which is especially important in vehicles with a convertible roof. Regular battery checks will help avoid unforeseen problems and ensure your convertible is always ready for a sunny drive.
