Most common fit — Suzuki Swift (2023 on): a 207 × 175 × 190 mm case — the UK 012 / 079 size — at 50–54 Ah and 450–570 A (EN). The fitment list is dominated by conventional flooded batteries, with AGM as an upgrade. Search on Amazon
Fitment varies by engine and build date — the full breakdown and our sourcing notes are below.
Battery Specifications
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| UK battery type | No data available. No UK retailer publishes an 0xx code against the sixth-generation Swift yet. The case matches the UK 012 / 079 size. |
| Case dimensions | 207 × 175 × 190 mm (DIN L1) — every product on the fitment list uses this case |
| Technology | Conventional flooded predominates; two AGM options are listed. No EFB is listed against this car. |
| Capacity | 50–54 Ah |
| Cold cranking amps | 450–570 A (EN) |
| Terminal layout | Positive terminal right |
| Engine split | None. The 1.2 VVT Hybrid (ZCEDS) and the 1.2 VVT Hybrid AllGrip (ZDEDS) carry an identical battery list. |
| Example parts | Exide Excell EB500 (50 Ah, 450 A) · Exide Premium EA530 (53 Ah, 540 A) · Bosch S4 002 / 0 092 S40 020 (52 Ah, 470 A) · Bosch S5 002 / 0 092 S50 020 (54 Ah, 530 A) · Exide EK500 AGM (50 Ah, 570 A) |
- Correction. This page previously published 40 Ah, 340 CCA in a 207 × 175 × 175 case. The case on this car is 190 mm tall, not 175, and the capacity and cranking figures were both too low. A 063 battery is 15 mm short in the case and will not clamp correctly.
Why a mild hybrid can still take a flooded battery. The Swift is a 12V mild hybrid with an integrated starter-generator, and the ISG rather than a conventional starter motor handles the restarts. That is the usual technical reason a plain flooded 12V battery remains acceptable on this car, and it matches a fitment list that contains no EFB at all. Do not apply a blanket “mild hybrid means EFB” rule here.
Confidence in this data: Medium. The case size, capacity and cranking figures are corroborated across two independent catalogue front-ends at engine-code level, but the car is new enough that no UK retailer publishes an 0xx type code for it, no Suzuki OE part number was obtainable, and we could not confirm from Suzuki whether stop/start is fitted as standard.
Checked against the TecDoc-derived application data at engine-code level, cross-referenced with Bosch, Varta, Exide and Yuasa product listings. Where the catalogues disagree, or list nothing, this page says so.

Frequently Asked Questions
What battery does a Suzuki Swift (2023 on) need?
A 207 x 175 x 190 mm battery — the UK 012 / 079 case — of 50 to 54 Ah and 450 to 570 amps EN, with the positive terminal on the right. Named examples on the fitment list include Exide EB500, Exide EA530, Bosch S4 002 and Bosch S5 002.
Is the Suzuki Swift battery a 063?
No. A 063 case is 207 x 175 x 175 mm and this car takes a 207 x 175 x 190 mm case. The 063 is 15 mm too short and will not clamp down properly. If you have seen 063 quoted for the 2023-on Swift, it is wrong.
Does the Swift mild hybrid need an EFB or AGM battery?
Not according to the fitment data. Every catalogue entry for this car is a conventional flooded battery or an AGM, with no EFB listed at all. The reason is architectural: the 12V integrated starter-generator does the restarting rather than a conventional starter motor, so the 12V battery is not on stop-start duty. AGM is available as an upgrade if you want it.
How long does a Suzuki Swift battery last?
No manufacturer figure is published and we will not invent one. In UK use a flooded battery typically gives several years, shortened by short journeys, long periods parked and heavy accessory loads. Have it load-tested rather than guessing if starting becomes slow.
Can I change the Swift battery myself?
Usually yes — it is a conventional 12V battery in the engine bay. Note that some cars require the replacement to be registered to the vehicle so the charging system treats it as new; check whether yours does before you buy.

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 →
