Starter battery - general
The starter battery is used to drive the starter
motor and other electrical equipment in the car.
IMPORTANT
When replacing the starter battery in cars
with the Start/Stop function, a battery of
EFB9 type or stronger must be installed.
The starter battery is a traditional 12 V battery.
IMPORTANT
When replacing the support battery, a battery
of AGM10 type must be fitted.
The service life and function of the starter battery
is influenced by factors such as the number of
starts, discharging, driving style, driving condi-
tions, climatic conditions etc.
Use Volvo genuine washer fluid or equivalent
with a recommended pH of between 6 and 8,
in working dilution (e.g. 1:1 with neutral
water).
IMPORTANT
Never disconnect the starter battery when
the engine is running.
•
If the starter battery is replaced, make sure
you replace it with a battery with the same
cold starting capacity and type as the original
battery (see the label on the battery).
IMPORTANT
Check that the cables to the starter battery
are correctly connected and properly tight-
ened.
•
Use washer fluid with antifreeze when the
temperature is below freezing to avoid the
fluid freezing inside the pump, reservoir and
hoses.
The following table shows specifications for the
starter battery.
NOTE
When replacing the battery, the size of
the new battery must correspond with the
dimensions of the original battery.
