The Renault Captur comes in petrol (TCe), diesel (dCi/Blue dCi), the common LPG variant (TCe bi-fuel) and the E-Tech hybrids, and that completely determines which battery it needs. There’s also an important generation gap: the Captur I (2013-2019) still offered entry-level versions without Start-Stop that were happy with a conventional battery, whereas the Captur II (from 2019) has Start-Stop across almost the whole range and adds the E-Tech models, with a far more demanding 12 V battery. Fitting a Captur II —let alone an E-Tech— with what worked on an entry-level Captur I is an expensive mistake. Version Start-Stop Recommended type Indicative capacity / cranking Captur I (2013-2019) TCe / dCi entry-level without Start-Stop No Conventional ~60 Ah / 540-600 A Captur I with Start-Stop (dCi, TCe) Yes EFB 60-70 Ah / 600-680 A Captur II (2019-) TCe 90/100/140/155 Start-Stop Yes EFB (AGM as an upgrade) 60-70 Ah / 600-720 A Captur II E-Tech Hybrid 145/160 Hybrid EFB or AGM (12 V support) ~60 Ah / — (started by the HSG) Captur II E-Tech Plug-in 160 Plug-in hybrid EFB or AGM (12 V support) ~60 Ah / — (started by the HSG) Captur TCe LPG (bi-fuel) Yes EFB 60-70 Ah / 600-680 A And here’s the Captur peculiarity worth understanding: on the E-Tech Hybrid and E-Tech Plug-in , the petrol engine is not cranked by a classic starter motor but by the HSG (high-voltage starter-generator) . So on those versions the 12 V battery is not a pure starter battery: it’s a support battery (EFB or AGM) that powers the ignition and all the electronics. Unlike some other hybrids, Renault’s E-Tech does carry a 12 V lead-acid EFB/AGM battery, and when it fails the car won’t power up even if the hybrid battery is full . These are indicative ranges: Renault has fitted several sizes depending on year, engine and trim, and we’re not going to invent a part number for you over the internet. What is firm: if your Captur has Start-Stop, it needs EFB or AGM , never a conventional one; and on the E-Tech the 12 V is a support battery (EFB/AGM). You can move up from EFB to AGM; never drop from AGM to EFB. Confirm it with the number plate. Golden rule If your Renault Captur has Start-Stop it needs EFB or AGM, never a conventional one; and on the E-Tech the 12 V is a support battery (EFB/AGM), not a starter battery. You can move up from EFB to AGM. Never go down from AGM to EFB. 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 size and the final fitted price for your Captur’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 , engine (TCe petrol, dCi diesel, LPG or E-Tech) and whether the engine switches itself off at traffic lights (that’s Start-Stop, and it changes the battery type).
