Hi, I have a V50 e-drive 59 plate diesel – stop/start, and wondered what battery you would recommend for replacement as my current is completely drained.
Hi, you should choose 1 of the batteries: Bosch AGM S5A08, Exide AGM EK700, Varta AGM E39. They all have similar parameters and will last about the same time.
One must remember that some Volvo V50 models have 2 batteries. A primary and a secondary. In my case, there’s a secondary AGM battery with a capacity of 8Ah and a model number of 31296300. I have a 2008 Volvo V50 with a 2.4L diesel engine.
