One response to “Skoda Octavia III (from 2013) – batteries”

  1. OEM batteries for Skoda Octavia III petrol engines with stop-start are EFB rather than AGM. Also (in the EU at least) the size is 242x175x190 – ie Exide EL600 or Varta N60D53. The plate would suit a larger size but the thermal jacket is for the smaller size
