With Start-Stop: versions with automatic engine stop-start, or that leave the factory with an EFB or AGM battery. Ah = capacity; A = cold cranking current (EN standard); + right/+ left = side of the positive terminal. Under each engine you will find its engine codes, handy for identifying your version.

## What you should know about the Renault Mégane II

This page covers Megane II (BM0/1_, CM0/1_), Megane II Estate (KM0/1_), Megane II Saloon (LM0/1_) and Megane II Coupé-Cabriolet (EM0/1_): 17 engines in the table, petrol (12), diesel (3) and gas (CNG/LPG) (2). No version has factory Start-Stop, so they all take a conventional battery, from 44 to 72 Ah depending on the engine. The usual case size is LB3 (278 × 175 × 175 mm).
- Model fact: the Renault Mégane II mainly uses case sizes LB3 (278 × 175 × 175 mm), L2 (242 × 175 × 190 mm) and LB2 (242 × 175 × 175 mm). A battery of a different size will not sit securely in the car’s battery tray.
- General tip: in a compact car that mixes town and open-road driving, the battery suffers most in winter and with lots of equipment switched on (heated rear window, heated seats). If cold starts become sluggish, have it checked before it leaves you stranded.
