Start-Stop becomes widespread with the Opel Corsa E (2014), and with it come AGM batteries. Earlier generations —Opel Corsa A, Opel Corsa B, Opel Corsa C and Opel Corsa D— use conventional batteries from 41 to 72 Ah. The most common case size is L1, but not every generation uses it: check yours before you buy.
