Car Battery Replacement by Make — UAE

How do I find the right battery for my car?

Pick your car’s make above and then the model: each model page lists the battery standard and capacity it takes.

They are three sizing standards from different regions, and they are not interchangeable without checking the size, the terminals and the hold-down.

• JIS is the Japanese standard, used by most Japanese and Korean cars, with codes such as 55D23L that encode size and terminal side.
• SAE (BCI group sizes, such as Group 48) is the North American standard, used by many American cars and trucks.
