The QL (2015-2021) still offered entry versions without Start-Stop, while the Start-Stop versions, the 48V mild-hybrid and the NQ5 (from 2021) —hybrid and plug-in hybrid— carry far more demanding electronics. And here is the detail that confuses many people: the 48V mild-hybrid and hybrid Sportage still carry a 12 V lead battery , and that is the one that runs flat and gets replaced. Version Start-Stop Recommended type Guide capacity / cranking Sportage QL (2015-2021) 1.6 GDI petrol entry, no Start-Stop No Conventional 60 Ah / 540-580 A Sportage 1.6 T-GDI petrol / 1.6 CRDi diesel with Start-Stop Yes EFB 60-70 Ah / 600-680 A Sportage 1.6 CRDi / T-GDI 48V MHEV (mild-hybrid) Yes 12 V EFB/AGM (separate from the 48 V one) 60-70 Ah / — Sportage NQ5 (from 2021) HEV (hybrid) Yes 12 V auxiliary (EFB/AGM) — / — Sportage NQ5 PHEV (plug-in hybrid) Yes 12 V auxiliary (EFB/AGM) — / — These are guide ranges : Kia has fitted several sizes within the same engine depending on year, trim and market, and we will not invent a part number off the internet. What is firm is this: if your Sportage has Start-Stop, is 48V or a hybrid, it needs EFB or AGM , never a conventional one. On 48V and hybrids no fixed CCA is published for the 12 V battery , which is why you see a “—” in the table; we confirm it by number plate. And note: on the mild-hybrid and hybrids, the one that fails is the 12 V , not the high-voltage pack. Golden rule Your 48V mild-hybrid Sportage has two batteries: we change the 12 V one (EFB or AGM), never the 48 V. If it has Start-Stop, is 48V or a hybrid, the 12 V is EFB or AGM. From EFB you can go up to AGM; from AGM never drop to EFB. How to know which one is yours Forget hunting for the part number on forums. Give us the number plate —from the quote form on this page, via WhatsApp or by calling 952 31 01 18 — and we confirm the type, the size and the final fitted price of your Sportage battery. Prefer to get an idea first? Use the “which battery do I need?” test . And if you want to know whether yours will last another summer, the free battery check in Málaga with Midtronics tells you in 5 minutes with no obligation: it measures real charge and health, not just a voltage reading. Three details help pin it down: generation (QL or NQ5), engine (1.6 GDI, T-GDI, CRDi, 48V mild-hybrid, HEV or PHEV) and whether the engine switches off by itself at traffic lights (that is Start-Stop, and it changes the battery type). How we do it in-store No appointment, in about 15 minutes - 01 You give us the plate - 02 Free check - 03 We fit your Varta - 04 Coding and recycling Signs it's time to replace it The Sportage has a very recognisable failure pattern, almost always tied to urban use: - After a few days parked it won't start. Classic for anyone who uses it at weekends or leaves it in the garage over the holidays. The electronics keep drawing current at rest and, if the battery is already old, it can't cope. - Sluggish start in the morning, fine in the afternoon. A sign of a battery low on charge: cold and flat in the morning; after driving, the alternator has topped it up just enough. - Start-Stop no longer kicks in at the lights. The system disables it on its own when the battery isn't at the required charge level. It's not a quirk: it's a warning. - On 48V or hybrids, dashboard warnings appear or the car won't power up: it's almost always the 12 V battery , not the high-voltage pack. - The screen reboots or loses the time when you switch on. - The locks and windows are slow or the car is slow to “wake up” when you open it. … ## Buy or change this battery in Málaga Málaga Baterías — official Varta distributor.
