Start-stop on a Seat
Recent Seat models with start-stop need an EFB or AGM battery. We match the technology your car was built with, because a conventional battery will not last in a start-stop system.

On a Seat, finding the battery is the first step. Depending on the model it may be under the bonnet, under the boot floor or below a seat, with jump-start terminals in the engine bay. Almost all recent models have start-stop, which means AGM or EFB in a DIN case and no shortcuts on type.

Choose your Seat model for battery guidance specific to that car.

Most recent Seat models use DIN-size AGM or EFB batteries because of start-stop and energy recovery.
A new battery typically has to be registered, and coded if its capacity or type differs from the original.
Batteries mounted in the boot or under a seat have a vent tube that must be refitted.

FAQ
Short, direct answers. Message us if yours is not here.
On most Seat models from the last fifteen years or so, yes. Registration tells the energy management that a new battery is fitted, so charging is adjusted correctly. We do it on site with a diagnostic tool and confirm on your model whether coding is also needed.
It varies by model. Many Seat cars have it under the bonnet, while others carry it in the boot or under a seat to balance weight. Tell us the model and year and we confirm the location, the size and the access needed before arriving.
No, we advise against it. A Seat built with AGM charges at levels suited to AGM and relies on it for start-stop. A standard battery ages quickly under that treatment, and warnings usually follow. We fit AGM of the same size and capacity.
