Volvo V40 battery size (UK)
It depends on the engine and on whether the car has stop-start. For the V40 2012-2020 model (Jun 2012 to Apr 2020), the standard battery is most often a 096; cars with stop-start need an EFB or AGM battery, most often a 096 AGM (096 EFB or 115 AGM on some engines). Every engine is in the tables below.
Key takeaways
- V40 2012-2020 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.
