Kia Car Battery

Has your Kia’s car battery seen better days? Whether you need a new one, or just want to check the condition of your current one, we can help. Just book a free battery test with us to identify underlying faults with the battery before they become an issue. If necessary, we can even give your car a Jaguar battery replacement and dispose of your old one.

When you get it regularly checked, you reduce the chances of the battery suddenly failing. But if this has already happened, don’t worry - we have a great range of new car batteries for you to choose from. This includes high-specification and premium options suitable for all budgets and Kia models.

Our high-value batteries are produced by the leading brand NAPA, who are at the forefront of battery technology. And not only do we ensure a high-quality power source, but our Jaguar battery replacements come with a four or five-year warranty.

Ready to start? Simply enter your vehicle’s registration number into the battery search tool at the top of the page to get your next Kia car battery. With over 235 UK locations, there’s a good chance we can fit your battery at a branch local to you.

How do I know if my Kia car battery needs replacing?

Battery lifespans vary, but it’s likely that after three years, they may start to become unreliable. While there’s no specific date to tell you that your Kia battery needs replacing, there are tell-tale signs to look out for:

• Dashboard warning lights can tell you your battery needs attention. If you see a battery or engine warning light, make sure you get your battery checked right away.
• If you’re having trouble starting your Kia that might mean there’s a battery issue. Older batteries’ efficiency can decrease as they age, producing less power to start the car when you use the ignition.
• Electrical issues, such as dimmed lights or unresponsive windows, can indicate a problem with your Kia battery. This is something you’re likely to experience just before your battery goes flat.

How do I get my Kia car battery tested?

With the right equipment, it’s possible to test your Kia battery at home. However, it’s easier to pay us a visit so the team at your local National Tyres and Autocare branch can help you.

Our free battery test can pinpoint small problems before they become serious. We’ll check the voltage, start capacity and condition of your battery to see what shape it’s in. If necessary, our expert technicians can arrange for a hassle-free Kia battery replacement.

What battery does my Kia need?

Referring to your owner’s manual is one way to find out which Kia battery you need. Alternatively, type your car registration into our battery search tool at the top of the page.

NAPA AGM  

NAPA absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries are sealed lead-acid batteries. They have been manufactured with fuel-reducing technologies, such as a stop-start system and brake energy regeneration.

AGM batteries feature a fibreglass mat that absorbs leaked sulphuric acid. They have a relatively long lifespan and provide lower CO2 emissions compared to advanced flooded batteries (AFBs). 

NAPA AFB  

The result of the evolution of standard wet flooded batteries, AFBs are also known as enhanced cycle mat (ECM) or enhanced flooded batteries (EFB).  

AFB technology offers increased cyclic performance and is designed for vehicles that use stop-start technology.  

NAPA PLUS  

NAPA PLUS batteries offer heavy-duty performance with an extra 30% power. Specifically designed to support vehicles that include satellite navigation systems and media players, these batteries have an increased shelf life.  

They use labyrinth technology to guide water back into the battery and are suitable for diesel engines. 

NAPA  

NAPA’s standard flooded lead-acid battery can be fitted to most vehicles. The calcium/calcium technology allows for increased battery life and resistance to high temperatures, as well as reduced water loss. They feature lead plates that store electricity by reacting with battery acid when charged.
