# Citroën battery in Málaga

> Which battery does your Citroën take (C3, C4, Berlingo, ë-C4)? No-appointment change in Málaga, OBD coding included, fixed price. Varta since 1999.

Home › Car batteries › Batteries by brand › Citroën
A Citroën battery is 12 V and runs around 45-70 Ah and 400-760 A depending on the model and engine: conventional on small city cars without Start-Stop (some entry-level C3), EFB on most PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel units with Start-Stop (C3, C4, Berlingo) and AGM on the best-equipped versions and hybrids. Like the whole Stellantis group, it shares its platform with Peugeot and Opel and, on Start-Stop models, the new battery must be coded via OBD. At Málaga Baterías (C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga), Official Varta Distributor since 1999 , we test it free and change it with no appointment, in about 15 minutes . Guide prices with fitting included: 85-140 € conventional, 130-230 € EFB and 180-280 € AGM.

You see Citroëns all over Málaga: from the C3 in town to the Berlingo doing deliveries and the electric ë-C4 starting to appear downtown. And they don't all take the same battery. On modern Start-Stop models it isn't enough to fit the new one and close the bonnet: it has to be coded via OBD so the car recognises it. We do it on the spot, with no appointment , at C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga . Everything in the shop : we don't do home fitting.

What battery does a Citroën take?

Citroën belongs to the Stellantis group, so it shares its platform (CMP/EMP2) and components with Peugeot and Opel. In practice: PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel, with Start-Stop that requires EFB or AGM and OBD coding of the new battery. The electric ë-C4 and ë-Berlingo also carry a 12 V auxiliary battery that switches the car on and powers the electronics but does not drive it. Guide figures, all at 12 V :

Model Typical technology Start-Stop Note
Citroën C3 Conventional / EFB Depends on version PureTech city car; EFB and coding if it has Start-Stop
Citroën C4 / ë-C4 EFB / AGM Yes Compact PureTech and BlueHDi; the electric ë-C4 uses a 12 V auxiliary
Citroën C5 Aircross EFB / AGM Yes SUV; the plug-in hybrid version carries a 12 V auxiliary
Citroën Berlingo / ë-Berlingo EFB Yes Van and MPV; the electric ë-Berlingo uses a 12 V auxiliary

Guide figures: they change with the year, trim and equipment. "—" = detail we confirm from your number plate.

Golden rule with Start-Stop: you can step up from EFB to AGM , but never down from AGM to EFB . If your car left the factory with AGM, keep AGM. And if you're not sure whether the problem is the battery or the alternator, start with a free battery check .

Signs it's time to change it

- Slow cranking when cold, especially first thing in the morning.

- Start-Stop won't engage , or it engages and the engine restarts on its own after a few seconds: the classic warning on modern Citroëns.

- A dashboard message that Start-Stop conditions are not met.

- Intermittent glitches on the screen, the audio system or the central locking.

- Battery changed recently but not coded via OBD : the car still treats it as the old one, charges it badly and it lasts half as long.

- On an ë-C4 or ë-Berlingo, the car won't switch on or show "READY" even with the traction battery charged: usually the 12 V auxiliary.

- More than 4 years old. In Málaga a conventional battery lasts on average 4-6 years and an AGM 5-7 .
