When replacing the battery in a Volvo V40 II with T2 GTDi, T3 GTDi, T4, T4 AWD gasoline engines and the others listed above, use an AGM battery. A regular lead-acid battery will quickly lose its performance because it will not work well with the start-stop system. Matching batteries have dimensions 278x175x190 mm. The parameters of these batteries are at least 70 Ah of a capacity and 720 A CCA (Cold Cranking Amps). The base hold-down of the above batteries is B13.

The diesel engines of the Volvo V40 II listed above have a Start-Stop system, and in this case, this means that we must use batteries produced in AGM technology. Batteries suitable for D2, D3 and D4 engines have dimensions of 278x175x190 mm. The parameters of these batteries are at least 70 Ah of a capacity and 720 A CCA (Cold Cranking Amps). The base hold-down of the above batteries is B13.
