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 Seat Ibiza V KJ
This page covers Ibiza V (KJ1, KJG): 7 engines in the table, petrol (5), gas (CNG/LPG) (1) and diesel (1). Most engines have Start-Stop (7 of 7), which is why the most common battery type is EFB, with 60 Ah. The usual case size is L2 (242 × 175 × 190 mm).
- Model fact: the Seat Ibiza V KJ mainly uses case sizes 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 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.
