The Renault 19 II Convertible (1992-1996) is a classic convertible that still enjoys popularity among car enthusiasts for its style and driving comfort. Choosing the right battery for this model is crucial to ensure reliable vehicle operation, especially for older cars.
For the 1.7 engine version, lead-acid batteries with a capacity of 44-54 Ah and a cranking current of 360-540 A are suitable. Examples of compatible models include Bosch S30 02, Exide EA530, and Varta C22. Batteries with these specifications are sufficient for smaller engines that do not require high energy demands.
Versions with larger engines, such as the 1.8 and 1.8 16V, require batteries with a higher capacity of 55-65 Ah and a cranking current of 460-640 A. Suitable battery models include Bosch S50 05, Exide EA640, and Varta D15. Higher parameters are necessary to meet the energy demands of more powerful engines.
Interestingly, the Renault 19 II Convertible was one of the first convertibles from this brand to combine modern design with relatively affordable pricing. For owners of such vehicles, it is essential to choose batteries from reputable manufacturers, ensuring longer lifespan and reliable starting performance even in cold temperatures.
