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 Seat Ibiza IV 6J
The Ibiza 6J covers the five-door, the three-door SC and the ST estate. Almost all its engines have versions that leave the factory with a Start-Stop battery, mostly a 60 Ah AGM in an L2 case. Without Start-Stop, the most common is a 52 Ah conventional battery in an L1 on the petrol engines, 60 Ah on the smaller TDIs and 74 Ah on the 1.6, 1.9 and 2.0 TDI; some 1.0 and 1.2 TSI even take a 40 to 44 Ah battery in an L0 case, the shortest of all.
- Model fact: the Seat Ibiza IV 6J mainly uses case sizes L2 (242 × 175 × 190 mm), L1 (207 × 175 × 190 mm) and L3 (278 × 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 Seat, Volkswagen and Audi models with Start-Stop, the new battery is usually coded into the energy management system with a diagnostic tool, so that the alternator charges it according to its type and capacity.
- General tip: on short trips around town the alternator barely recharges the battery. If the car is parked on the street in winter or sits unused for days, measure the resting voltage (12.4 V or more) or use a battery maintainer.
