## How the Citroën Berlingo battery has changed

Start-Stop becomes widespread with the Citroën Berlingo III (2018), and with it come EFB batteries. Earlier generations —Citroën Berlingo I and Citroën Berlingo II— use conventional batteries from 52 to 74 Ah. The most common case size is L2, but not every generation uses it: check yours before you buy.

## How to tell which Citroën Berlingo you have

Each generation has its own production years and model code, which you will find in the car’s documents. These are the body styles of each one:

| Generation | Years | Body styles (model code) |

| Citroën Berlingo I | from 1996 | Berlingo / Berlingo First MPV (MF_, GJK_, GFK_), Berlingo / Berlingo First Box Body/MPV (M_) |

### Do all Citroën Berlingo generations take the same battery?

No. The battery changes with the generation, the engine and Start-Stop: the Citroën Berlingo II mostly takes the Varta D24 (conventional) and the Citroën Berlingo I the Varta E11 (conventional).

### Since when has the Citroën Berlingo had Start-Stop?
