Buying a Group 26R battery
Match the group size (Group 26R) and aim for at least 540 CCA - more in cold climates. Confirm your own car's rating on its page below; some trims require AGM.

Group 26R equivalent sizes
These BCI groups share a near-identical case, so they may fit the same battery tray. “Same terminals” means the +/- posts sit on the same side; reversed terminals (R groups) can leave your cables short.
| Group | Case (mm) | Terminals |
|---|---|---|
| Group 140R | 207×175×190 | same |
| Group H4 | 207×175×190 | reversed |
