Buying a Group 48 battery
Match the group size (Group 48) and aim for at least 660 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 48 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 91 | 278×175×190 | same |

Frequently asked
How many CCA does a Group 48 battery need?
Group 48 vehicles in our data ship with 400-950 CCA (typically around 660). Match your car's original rating or go higher - aim for the top of that range in cold climates.
Is a Group 48 battery AGM or flooded?
Group 48 appears with both: 528 of the 933 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 48 battery?
A BCI Group 48 case measures 278×175×190 mm (L×W×H). Any Group 48 battery uses that footprint, so it drops into the same tray.
What is equivalent to a Group 48 battery?
The closest BCI sizes that fit the same tray are Group 91. Always confirm the terminal side and CCA before swapping - a reversed-terminal group can leave your cables short.
