When replacing the battery in a Volvo XC40 with B4 (145 kW), B4 AWD (145 kW), B5 AWD (184 kW), T2 (95 kW) 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). All the batteries in the list above have a base hold-down B13.
