Source: published VARTA battery-finder fitment data (varta-automotive.com) for the Renault Captur II (HF), consulted August 2026. Where more than one battery is listed, the manufacturer fits different sizes across builds — measure the battery you remove, or confirm by registration, before ordering.

Two case sizes are listed across the Captur II range. Match the size and technology of the battery you remove.

Upgrade option: Even though your Renault Captur doesn’t require an EFB or AGM battery, upgrading to one provides better durability, vibration resistance, and deeper discharge recovery — especially useful if you have dashcams or other accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What battery does a Renault Captur need?

It depends on the engine. VARTA fitment data for the Captur II (HF) lists a type 027, 242 x 175 x 190 mm, at 60 to 63 Ah for the TCe petrols and the E-TECH hybrid, with AGM the recommendation on the TCe 90 and the LPG and EFB on the TCe 130 and E-TECH. The Blue dCi 115 diesel is listed with the larger type 096, 278 x 175 x 190 mm, at 70 to 77 Ah. Confirm by registration, or measure the battery you remove, before ordering.

Does the Renault Captur need an AGM or EFB battery?

Both appear, depending on the engine. VARTA gives AGM as the recommendation for the TCe 90 and the 1.0 TCe LPG, and EFB for the TCe 130, the E-TECH hybrid and the Blue dCi diesel. Replace like for like: if you remove an AGM, fit an AGM, and never put a plain flooded battery into a stop-start Captur.

How long does a Renault Captur battery last?

Typically 4–6 years depending on driving patterns. Short urban journeys and cold winters reduce battery life.

Can I replace the Renault Captur battery myself?

Yes for most models — it’s usually located in the engine bay. Disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive. Fit the new battery in reverse order.

How we check fitment for this guide

We cross-reference fitment figures against manufacturer specifications and OE-supplier catalogue data where available, and matched to the standard codes that actually govern fit — battery type/group sizes, wiper lengths and fitting types, bulb fitment codes, tyre size markings, and oil specifications. We work by make, model, year, engine, and build date, because a single model can take different parts across its life. Where the right part depends on your exact vehicle, we tell you to confirm by registration or VIN. More on our method →
