# Opel Battery in Málaga > Opel battery in Málaga: conventional, EFB or AGM with coding on Stellantis models. Official Varta dealer, no appointment, fitted in about 15 minutes. Home › Car batteries › Batteries by brand › Opel The Opel range runs a 12 V battery, usually 45-70 Ah , and what it needs depends on the era of the model. Older GM-era Opels (Corsa D and E, Adam, Karl) take a cheap conventional battery unless they have Start-Stop; modern Stellantis-era Opels (Corsa F, Mokka, Astra, Crossland, Grandland) take EFB or AGM with Start-Stop and, on the ones that share the Peugeot 208 CMP platform, the new battery must be coded through the OBD port . The electric Corsa-e and Mokka-e use an auxiliary 12 V battery. At Málaga Baterías (C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga), Official Varta Distributor since 1999 , we test it free and change it without an appointment, in about 15 minutes . Indicative prices with fitting included: 85-140 € conventional, 130-230 € EFB and 180-280 € AGM. Opel won’t start?

Call now WhatsApp The Opel Corsa is one of the most common runabouts in Málaga, and Opels of every era come through the workshop: from a GM-era Corsa C or D to a current Corsa F or Mokka, which are now close cousins of the Peugeot 208 and share even the control unit. That difference matters: on modern Opels with Start-Stop it isn’t enough to fit the battery and close the bonnet, it has to be coded through the OBD port so the car charges it properly. We do it on the spot, without an appointment and in store (we don’t do home fitting), at C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga . What battery does an Opel take? It comes down to the era of the model . GM-era Opels (up to 2017) generally run a simple conventional battery, except the ecoFLEX versions with Start-Stop, which already needed EFB. Stellantis-era Opels —Corsa F, Mokka B, Crossland, Grandland and recent Astra— use EFB or AGM with Start-Stop, and those on the CMP platform (the same as the Peugeot 208) need the new battery to be coded via OBD . Indicative values, all at 12 V : Model Typical technology Start-Stop Note Opel Corsa Conventional (older D/E) · EFB/AGM (F) Depends on version The Corsa F shares the CMP platform with the Peugeot 208: OBD coding. Electric Corsa-e with auxiliary 12 V. Opel Astra EFB/AGM Yes The recent Astra L is on the EMP2 platform; PHEV versions carry a separate auxiliary 12 V. Opel Mokka EFB/AGM Yes The Mokka B is on the CMP platform: coding required. Electric Mokka-e with auxiliary 12 V. Opel Crossland EFB Yes Start-Stop as standard across almost the whole range; EFB as a minimum. Opel Grandland EFB/AGM Yes PHEV versions with an auxiliary 12 V on top of the traction battery. Indicative values: they change with the year, the trim and the equipment. «—» = a figure we confirm from your number plate. Quick tip: look at the negative terminal . If a sensor with a connector comes off it (the battery state sensor), your Opel manages charging actively and needs EFB or AGM plus coding of the new battery. And if your car came with AGM from the factory, keep AGM: you can move up from EFB to AGM, but never down from AGM to EFB .
