What battery do I need? Citroen relay 2.2 litre diesel.

[ricky123]

Hi all, due to a family illness I have not need able to drive my van for the past 4 months. Therefore I need to replace the battery.

I’ve taken the old one out but have literally zero idea which one I need, when I put the number plate into any of the various sites it just comes back as the name of my motorhome, not the base vehicle.

I have attached a photo of the battery, any idea what these numbers / codes mean? Don’t want to spend the money on a new battery for it not to be the right one.

It’s a hobby Vantana, on a Citroen relay 2.2 litre diesel.

Put "Citroen relay battery into eBay search" with a little common sense and maybe a tape measure and info off the old battery,you should find a selection suitable replacements

Likely to be a 019 same as the ducatos

Standard wet (flooded) lead acid battery.

95Ah - 95 Ampere-hours - typical camper van starter battery capacity

900A - 900 cold cranking amps - the current available to turn the engine over in cold weather.

Yup. . 019 on my Relay.

Think 020s are an option as well but best double check.

Try Tanya,or Alpha batteries.

Yep looks like a 019 to me.

Measure your existing battery in mm to ensure it will fit in the space; height, width, length. Also it looks like it is a stop/start battery.
With those dims and the battery performance already mentioned above (105 ah capacity and 950 cca) you can find a match.
Varta is a good battery brand however just like tyres you might be able to buy cheaper brands.
I have bought my last 3 batteries online from Tayna. Ring them if you need some reassurance.

I have an 019 battery sat in my garage. Between Portsmouth & Fareham. PM me if interested.

Thanks for all your advice.

After measuring up the battery and putting the dimensions into this tool. I’ve found out it’s actually a 020 battery and all the 020’s line up exactly with the spec on the current battery.

However, after thinking of goosed the battery letting it go down to 10.4 volts I stuck it on my ctek charger and measuring the volts over a week it seems to be holding charge well so I’ve put it back in with a view to change in the summer before more often use.

Thought the tool may be useful for others.

017 and 019 are identical except 019 a little taller.
