Buying a Group 47 battery
Match the group size (Group 47) and aim for at least 600 CCA - more in cold climates. Confirm your own car's rating on its page below; some trims require AGM. A battery is heavy to ship, so buying in person can win once you count free install and the core-charge refund - but to compare prices and reviews:

Group 47 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 59 | 255×176×190 | same |

Frequently asked
How many CCA does a Group 47 battery need?
Group 47 vehicles in our data ship with 410-950 CCA (typically around 600). Match your car's original rating or go higher - aim for the top of that range in cold climates.
Is a Group 47 battery AGM or flooded?
Group 47 appears with both: 72 of the 504 vehicles with a known battery type in our data ship AGM. Check your specific car below - if it came with AGM, keep AGM rather than fitting a cheaper flooded battery.
What size is a Group 47 battery?
A BCI Group 47 case measures 246×175×190 mm (L×W×H). Any Group 47 battery uses that footprint, so it drops into the same tray.
What is equivalent to a Group 47 battery?
The closest BCI sizes that fit the same tray are Group 59. Always confirm the terminal side and CCA before swapping - a reversed-terminal group can leave your cables short.
