Battery basics

What battery does your car need

Size, terminals, CCA and battery type all matter. Here’s what to check before you buy a replacement.

Start with the vehicle

The right battery depends on your vehicle, not just the size of the old one.

Make, model, year and engine all play a part. Two cars that look alike can need different batteries.

What to check

  • Battery size or code, such as NS40Z, NS70L or DIN65
  • Terminal layout
  • CCA (Cold Cranking Amps)
  • Battery type: standard, EFB or AGM
