The i10 has had three generations — i10 I (2007-2013) , i10 II (2013-2019) and i10 III (2019-) — and all three are petrol only: 1.0 and 1.2 MPI, and the 1.0 T-GDi on the N Line. There's no diesel and no hybrid version. What does change between versions is the battery size and whether it has ISG (Idle Stop & Go) , Hyundai's Start-Stop system: on such a small car, fitting the wrong size battery is easier to get wrong than it looks. Version Start-Stop Recommended type Indicative capacity / cranking i10 I (2007-2013) 1.0 / 1.2 MPI without ISG No Conventional (small format) 40-45 Ah / 330-390 A i10 II (2013-2019) 1.0 / 1.2 MPI without ISG No Conventional (small format) 40-45 Ah / 330-390 A i10 with ISG (Idle Stop & Go) Yes EFB 45-50 Ah / 400-450 A i10 III (2019-) 1.0 T-GDi (N Line) Depends on trim EFB Around 50 Ah / 440-480 A These are indicative ranges : within the same engine, Hyundai has used more than one case size depending on year and market, and we're not going to invent a part number for you over the internet. What is firm: if your i10 has ISG, it needs EFB , never a conventional one. And here's the most important point on this model: the case size matters as much as the type . It's a small car with a small tray, and some versions —especially on the older generations— have short cases or thin terminals. Fitting "a bigger battery just in case" can mean it doesn't fit the space or doesn't match the hold-down. Confirm it with the number plate. Golden rule On the Hyundai i10 the size matters as much as the type: if it has ISG it needs EFB, and never fit a bigger battery "just in case" that doesn't fit. Always confirm the exact case size and type with the number plate before buying. How to find out which one is yours Forget hunting for the part number on forums. Give us the number plate —from the quote form on this page, on WhatsApp or by calling 952 31 01 18 — and we'll confirm the type, the exact size and the final fitted price for your i10's battery. Want an idea first? Use the "which battery do I need?" test . And if what you want to know is whether yours will survive another summer, the free battery check in Málaga with Midtronics tells you in 5 minutes, no obligation: it measures real charge and health, not just a voltage reading. Three details help narrow it down: year , whether your i10 has ISG (the engine switches itself off at traffic lights) and, something that matters more on the i10 than on most cars, the exact case size it left the factory with. How we do it in the shop No appointment, in about 15 minutes - 01 You give us the number plate - 02 Free battery check - 03 We fit your Varta - 04 Coding and recycling Signs it is time to replace it The i10 has a very recognisable failure pattern, and being a car with less reserve capacity than a bigger one, it shows up fast: - It won't start after a few days parked. With a small battery the margin is tighter: the i10 has less reserve than a bigger car, so a few days off the road are enough to leave you stranded if the battery is already old. - Lazy starts in the morning, fine in the afternoon. A sign of a battery that's short on charge: in the morning it's cold and flat; after some driving, the alternator has put back just enough. - ISG no longer kicks in at traffic lights (if your i10 has it). The system disables it on its own when the battery isn't at the required state of charge. It's not a quirk: it's a warning. - The dashboard or radio resets when you switch on the ignition. - The windows are slow , or the car takes a while to "wake up" when you unlock it. And here's the nuance almost nobody tells you: short trips kill batteries , and even more so on the i10, because it starts from a smaller capacity. … ## Buy or change this battery in Málaga Málaga Baterías — official Varta distributor.
