Hyundai i30 battery size (UK)
It depends on the engine and on whether the car has stop-start. For the i30 2017+ model (Jan 2017 to Dec 2025), the standard battery is most often a 096 (027 or 012/079 on some engines); cars with stop-start need an EFB or AGM battery, most often a 096 AGM (027 AGM on some engines). Every engine is in the tables below.
Key takeaways
- i30 2017+ model: standard 096; with stop-start 096 AGM.
- UK size codes (063, 096, 027...) are printed on the battery label - match yours, including AGM or EFB.
- A car with stop-start needs an EFB or AGM battery; a car without it can take either type.

Brand in brackets = which battery maker lists that size for that engine. "EFB / AGM" covers the batteries a stop-start car needs; for cars without stop-start the makers list them as an upgrade.
