Where the Kronobat SD-45.0 fits

The Kronobat SD-45.0 is a starter battery for cars without Start-Stop: it delivers the current the starter motor needs and then powers lights, control units and audio with the engine off. If your car has no Start-Stop and had a 45 Ah battery, the SD-45.0 is a direct replacement.

At 45 Ah it is a small size: the usual choice for petrol superminis and city cars with little equipment. The SD-45.0 belongs to the Kronobat STANDARD range. See all Kronobat batteries

Check this before ordering the Kronobat SD-45.0

  • If your car has Start-Stop, the SD-45.0 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
  • The SD-45.0 delivers 400 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
  • Your current battery should say about 45 Ah; a little more is also fine.
  • The SD-45.0 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
  • The SD-45.0 needs 207 × 175 × 190 mm of space (European case size L1): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
