What moves the price up or down
| Factor | Effect on price |
|---|---|
| Technology (standard, calcium, EFB, AGM, Gel, Lithium) | The largest factor. AGM costs noticeably more than a standard battery of the same size |
| Capacity (Ah) and cranking power (CCA) | Larger batteries for 4x4s, pickups and V8s cost more |
| Brand | Premium brands with longer warranties sit at the top of each range |
| Warranty length | A 24-month battery costs more than a 12-month one |
| Start-stop or battery management system | The car needs EFB or AGM, and the battery may need registering |
Brand makes less difference than type. A good battery of the right technology will outlast an expensive battery of the wrong one. Compare what we stock in the battery brand comparison.

Ways to pay
We accept cash, card and online payment at the vehicle. If you would rather spread the cost, Tabby and Tamara let you pay in interest-free installments.
Is the cheapest battery worth it?
Sometimes. On an older car without start-stop, a standard battery from a reputable brand is a perfectly sound choice. Where cheap becomes expensive is the wrong technology in a start-stop car, a battery that has sat on a shelf for a long time before sale, or stock with no warranty behind it.
Heat is the other half of the calculation. Batteries wear out faster in the UAE than in cooler countries, so cost per month of service matters more than the sticker price. The heat and battery life guide covers why.
