Who the Kronobat SD-70.0B is for

The Kronobat SD-70.0B 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. Its job is to start the engine in the cold with margin to spare and keep the car's electronics powered.

At 70 Ah it is the usual size for compact diesels and mid-size petrol saloons. The SD-70.0B belongs to the Kronobat STANDARD range. More Kronobat batteries

Inside the SD-70.0B: lead-acid technology

Before ordering the SD-70.0B, check this

  • If your car has Start-Stop, the SD-70.0B is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
  • Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 640 A or less, the SD-70.0B covers your engine.
  • Capacity of the SD-70.0B: 70 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
  • The SD-70.0B has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
  • Measure the space: the SD-70.0B takes up 278 × 175 × 175 mm (European case size LB3).
