## How the Opel Corsa battery has changed

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.

## How to tell which Opel Corsa 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) |
|---|---|---|
| Opel Corsa F | from 2019 | Corsa F (P2JO) |
| Opel Corsa E | from 2014 | Corsa E (X15) |
| Opel Corsa D | 2006-2014 | Corsa D (S07) |
| Opel Corsa C | 2000-2009 | Corsa C (X01) |
| Opel Corsa B | 1993-2002 | Corsa B (S93), Corsa B Estate (S93) |
| Opel Corsa A | 1982-1993 | Corsa A Hatchback (S83), Corsa A TR (S83) |

## Frequently asked questions

### Which battery does the Opel Corsa take?

It depends on the generation and on whether your Opel Corsa has Start-Stop. The Opel Corsa D (2006-2014) usually takes a battery like the Varta C30: conventional, 54 Ah and 530 A, case size L1. With Start-Stop, the Opel Corsa E (from 2014) always takes a battery like the Varta A8: AGM, 60 Ah and 680 A; without Start-Stop, the Varta C22 (conventional, 52 Ah). Below you will find all 6 generations, each with its battery.

### Do all Opel Corsa generations take the same battery?

No. The battery changes with the generation, the engine and Start-Stop: the Opel Corsa D mostly takes the Varta C30 (conventional) and the Opel Corsa E the Varta A8 (AGM).

### Since when has the Opel Corsa had Start-Stop?

It became widespread with the Opel Corsa E (2014). Those versions need AGM; if your Opel Corsa is older or has no Start-Stop, it takes a conventional battery.

### How do I know which generation my Opel Corsa is?

By the years of manufacture (Opel Corsa C: 2000-2009; Opel Corsa D: 2006-2014; Opel Corsa E: from 2014; Opel Corsa F: from 2019) or, more easily, with your number plate: our search identifies the exact model and engine and shows you only the batteries that fit.
