Each row groups the versions that share an engine. When an engine lists more than one battery, it is because the battery changes with the version or equipment: your number plate settles it.

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 IV
This page covers Megane IV Hatchback (B9A/M/N_), Megane IV Grandtour (K9A/M/N_) and Megane IV Saloon: 22 engines in the table, petrol (14), diesel (7) and hybrid (1). Most engines have Start-Stop (18 of 22), which is why the most common battery type is EFB, with 70 Ah. The usual case size is L3 (278 × 175 × 190 mm).
- Model fact: the Renault Mégane IV mainly uses case sizes L3 (278 × 175 × 190 mm), L2 (242 × 175 × 190 mm) and L1 (207 × 175 × 190 mm). A battery of a different size will not sit securely in the car’s battery tray.
- General tip: if your car came from the factory with an AGM battery, replace it with another AGM; if it has an EFB, with an EFB or an AGM. A conventional battery in a Start-Stop car wears out much sooner and the system may stop working.
- General tip: on many Start-Stop cars the ECU manages battery charging, so when you replace the battery it is best to register the new one with a diagnostic tool.
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
Which battery does the Renault Mégane IV (from 2015) take?
With Start-Stop, the Renault Mégane IV (from 2015) almost always takes a battery like the Varta N70: EFB, 70 Ah and 760 A, in case size L3. Versions without Start-Stop take the Varta D24 (conventional, 60 Ah and 540 A); the table shows the battery for each engine.
Can I fit a standard battery in my Renault Mégane IV with Start-Stop?
No. On versions that come with an EFB, such as the Varta N70, you can fit another EFB or upgrade to AGM, but not drop down to a conventional battery: it would last far less with the constant stopping and restarting of Start-Stop.
What size battery does the Renault Mégane IV take?
Depending on the engine, the Renault Mégane IV uses these case sizes: L3 (278 × 175 × 190 mm), L2 (242 × 175 × 190 mm) and L1 (207 × 175 × 190 mm); dimensions are length × width × height. Also check that the positive terminal is on the same side as on your current battery.
Does the Varta N70 fit the Renault Mégane IV?
Yes, it is one of the recommended batteries for the Renault Mégane IV with the 1.3 TCe 100, 1.3 TCe 115, 1.3 TCe 140, 1.3 TCe 160, 1.5 Blue dCi 95 and 1.5 Blue dCi 115 engines (15 of the 22 engines in the table). For the others, check their row in the table or search by number plate.
How do I find out exactly which battery my Renault Mégane IV takes?
Enter your number plate or chassis number (VIN) in our battery finder: it identifies the exact engine and shows you only the compatible batteries. You can also check the label on your current battery: capacity (Ah), cold cranking (A, EN standard) and technology (AGM, EFB or conventional).
