The León has been through four generations and one important change of philosophy. The León I and II (1999-2012) used conventional batteries and had no Start-Stop. From the León III (2012-2020) onwards, built on the VAG Group MQB platform —the same base it shares with the VW Golf— Start-Stop became widespread, bringing EFB and AGM batteries and the need to register the new battery via OBD . The León IV (from 2020) adds the 48 V eTSI mild-hybrid system and the plug-in e-Hybrid version, where the battery we change is still the 12 V one. Version Start-Stop Recommended type Indicative capacity / cranking León I / II (1999-2012) without Start-Stop No Conventional 60-72 Ah / 540-680 A León III (2012-2020) 1.2/1.4 TSI and 1.6/2.0 TDI with Start-Stop Yes EFB 68-72 Ah / 640-720 A León FR / Cupra (high performance, higher draw) Yes AGM 70-80 Ah / 720-800 A León IV (from 2020) 1.0/1.5 eTSI 48 V mild-hybrid Yes 12 V EFB or AGM (separate 48 V system) 60-70 Ah / — León IV e-Hybrid (plug-in hybrid) Yes 12 V auxiliary battery (EFB or AGM) — / — León IV petrol / diesel with Start-Stop Yes EFB or AGM 70-72 Ah / 680-720 A These are indicative ranges : within the same engine SEAT has used several sizes depending on year, trim and market, and we are not going to invent a part number for you off the internet. What is firm: if your León has Start-Stop it needs EFB or AGM , never a conventional one; from EFB you can move up to AGM, from AGM never go down; and the new battery must be registered in the energy management via OBD , exactly as on any VAG. On the 48 V eTSI we change the 12 V battery; the 48 V one is not touched . Given the huge variety of León engines, confirm it with the plate. Golden rule If your Seat León has Start-Stop, it needs EFB or AGM: never a conventional battery. From EFB you can move up to AGM. From AGM never go down. And the new battery is registered via OBD. How to know which one is yours Forget hunting for the part number on forums. Tell us the plate —through the quote form on this page, via WhatsApp or by calling 952 31 01 18 — and we will confirm the type, the size and the final fitted price of your León's battery. Prefer to get an idea first? Use the «which battery do I need?» test . And if what you want is to know whether yours will survive another summer, the free battery check in Málaga with Midtronics tells you in 5 minutes and with no obligation: it measures real charge and health, not just voltage. Three details help to pin it down: generation (I, II, III or IV), engine (TSI, TDI, eTSI, e-Hybrid or FR/Cupra) and whether the engine switches off on its own at traffic lights (that is Start-Stop, and it changes the battery type and requires registration). How we do it in the shop No appointment, in about 15 minutes - 01 You give us the plate - 02 Free check - 03 We fit your Varta - 04 OBD registration and recycling Signs it is time to change it The León has a very recognisable failure pattern, and it is almost always tied to urban use: - After a few days parked it won't start. Classic on a León used only at weekends or left in the garage over the holidays. The electronics keep drawing power at rest and, if the battery is already old, it doesn'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 León disables it on its own when the battery isn't at the required charge level. It is not a system quirk: it is a warning. - Warnings in the digital cluster or the screen and infotainment resetting when you switch on. … ## Buy or change this battery in Málaga Málaga Baterías — official Varta distributor.
