# Volkswagen battery in Málaga > Volkswagen battery (Golf, Polo, T-Roc, Tiguan): EFB or AGM depending on Start-Stop, ECU registration included. Fitted in Málaga in 15 min, no appointment. Home › Car batteries › Batteries by brand › Volkswagen The Volkswagen range runs on 12 V batteries, and the technology depends on whether the car has Start-Stop : conventional on older models and entry 1.0 MPI without Start-Stop, EFB on most TSI petrol and TDI diesel engines with Start-Stop, and AGM on higher-spec versions and on the plug-in GTE and eHybrid, where the 12 V is an auxiliary battery. Almost every modern Volkswagen has a sensor on the negative terminal, so the new battery must be registered with the ECU .

Guideline prices with fitting included: 85-140 € conventional, 130-230 € EFB and 180-280 € AGM. Volkswagen won’t start?

Call now WhatsApp Every kind of VAG group car runs on Málaga's roads, and the Volkswagen is among the most common: Golf, Polo, T-Roc and Tiguan turn up at the shop every day. With this range the key difference is registration: on models with Start-Stop, fitting the battery and closing the bonnet isn't enough — it has to be registered with the ECU , or the car charges it badly and it lasts half as long. We do it on the spot, without an appointment and at the shop (we don't offer mobile fitting), at C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga . Which battery does a Volkswagen take? The VAG group's particularity is its energy management system with a sensor on the negative terminal: the new battery is registered with the ECU so the car charges it correctly. The technology steps up with the equipment level —conventional, EFB or AGM— and you can never go down from AGM to EFB (you can move up from EFB to AGM). On the Golf GTE and other plug-in eHybrids, the 12 V is an auxiliary battery: it powers the electronics and lets you switch on, but it doesn't move the car. Indicative figures, all 12 V : Model Typical technology Start-Stop Note Volkswagen Golf EFB or AGM (conventional on older generations) Yes ECU registration required; plug-in GTE with 12 V auxiliary Volkswagen T-Roc EFB or AGM Yes Compact SUV, TSI/TDI; registration required Volkswagen Polo EFB (conventional on entry 1.0 MPI) Yes / No Supermini; shares mechanicals with the Seat Ibiza Volkswagen Tiguan AGM or EFB Yes SUV with a heavy electrical load; AGM common; eHybrid with 12 V auxiliary Volkswagen T-Cross EFB Yes Small SUV with Start-Stop Volkswagen Passat AGM or EFB Yes Well-equipped saloon/estate; plug-in GTE with 12 V auxiliary Guideline figures: they vary with year, trim and equipment. “—” = we confirm it from your number plate. A quick way to tell what yours needs: look at the negative terminal . If there's a sensor with a connector coming out of it, your Volkswagen manages charging actively and needs an EFB or AGM plus registration of the new battery with the ECU. And if your car left the factory with AGM, it stays AGM. Official Varta Distributor since 1999 Varta batteries for your Volkswagen, fitted on the spot We are at C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga.
