Fitment, replacement notes, and what to check before you buy. **Quick answer**: The 2020-2025 Toyota Corolla uses a Group H4 (LN1) battery, 470 CCA. ## 2020-2025 Toyota Corolla battery specifications (Verified) | Spec | Value | | --- | --- | | BCI group size | H4 (LN1) | | Cold cranking amps | 470 CCA | | Battery type | FLOODED | | AGM required | No | | Location | Engine bay, driver side | Note: The E210 drops the old Group 35 for DIN/EN-format batteries: 1.8L gas and hybrid use H4 (LN1). Toyota TrueStart replacement is rated 470 CCA; 2.0L cars (M20A-FKS) use the larger H5 (LN2), TrueStart-rated 540 CCA. Verified against Toyota's battery application chart (ZRE212/ZWE21# → LN1; MZEA12 → LN2). Check the case size before buying, a Group 35 will not fit the tray correctly. ## 1.8L Hybrid (2ZR-FXE + THS II) battery (High confidence) | Spec | Value | | --- | --- | | BCI group size | H4 (LN1) | | Battery type | FLOODED | | Location | Engine bay, driver side (unlike Prius/Camry hybrids, which hide it in the trunk) | Note: 12V auxiliary battery only, the high-voltage hybrid pack (NiMH, or Li-ion on 2023+) sits under the rear seat and is a separate 8yr/100k (2020+: 10yr/150k) warranty item. The 12V is a standard LN1 in the engine bay, so replacement is a normal DIY; an AGM upgrade is fine but not required. ## Which Toyota Corolla model years does this cover? These battery specifications apply to every Toyota Corolla built from 2020 through 2025, the E210 (12th generation), compact sedan (tnga-c platform; the corolla hatchback, sold from 2019, shares this platform and most service parts). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. - [2020 Corolla](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020) - [2021 Corolla](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2021) - [2022 Corolla](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2022) - [2023 Corolla](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2023) - [2024 Corolla](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2024) - [2025 Corolla](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2025) ## What changed during the 2020-2025 Toyota Corolla | Years | What changed | | --- | --- | | 2020 | Generation launch on TNGA-C: 1.8L (L/LE), 2.0L Dynamic Force (SE/XSE/XLE), and the first US Corolla Hybrid (LE, 121 hp combined).

BCI group H4 (LN1), rated at 470 cold cranking amps from the factory. Group size is a physical dimension and terminal-position standard, so a battery from a different group may not clamp down or may put the terminals on the wrong side. ### How many CCA does a 2020-2025 Toyota Corolla need? At least 470 CCA. Going higher is harmless and helps in cold climates; going lower is how a vehicle that started fine in October stops starting in January. ### Does the 2020-2025 Toyota Corolla need an AGM battery? The factory battery is a conventional flooded type. AGM is a valid upgrade, but never downgrade from AGM to flooded. ### Where is the battery on a 2020-2025 Toyota Corolla? Engine bay, driver side. ### Does a 2020-2025 Toyota Corolla need the battery registered after replacement? The E210 drops the old Group 35 for DIN/EN-format batteries: 1.8L gas and hybrid use H4 (LN1). Toyota TrueStart replacement is rated 470 CCA; 2.0L cars (M20A-FKS) use the larger H5 (LN2), TrueStart-rated 540 CCA. Verified against Toyota's battery application chart (ZRE212/ZWE21# → LN1; MZEA12 → LN2). Check the case size before buying, a Group 35 will not fit the tray correctly. ## Sources - [2023 Corolla Owner's Manual, maintenance data (Toyota.com)](https://www.toyota.com/owners/warranty-owners-manuals/digital/article/corolla/2023/om02568u/ch08se010401/) - [Toyota Genuine Battery application chart 2023, ZRE212/ZWE21# = LN1, MZEA12 = LN2 (toyotapartsandservice.com)](https://www.toyotapartsandservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/03_Batteries2023_hi.pdf) - [Toyota Genuine Spark Plug application chart 2020, E210 plug part numbers (toyotapartsandservice.com)](https://www.toyotapartsandservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/09_SparkPlugs2020_hi.pdf) - [Toyota Genuine Oil Filter application chart 2020, 90915-YZZF2 for all E210 engines (toyotapartsandservice.com)](https://www.toyotapartsandservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/06_OilFilters2020_hi.pdf) - [AMSOIL vehicle lookup, 2020 Corolla 2.0L M20A-FKS capacities](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2020/toyota/corolla/2-0l-4-cyl-engine-code-m20a-fks-3/) - [Legacy Toyota, Corolla oil type & capacity by year (dealer service guide)](https://www.legacytoyotadallas.com/service/service-and-parts-tips/toyota-corolla-oil-type-and-capacity/) - [fueleconomy.gov, 2021 Corolla / Corolla Hybrid EPA ratings](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2021_Toyota_Corolla.shtml) - [TirePressure.org, 2021 Toyota Corolla placard pressures](https://tirepressure.org/toyota/corolla/2021) - [NHTSA recall 20V-682, Denso fuel pump](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCLRPT-20V682-8151.PDF) - [iFixit, 2018-present Corolla 12V battery replacement (engine-bay location)](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/2018+2019+2020+2021+2022+2023+2024+2025+2026+Toyota+Corolla+12V+Battery+Replacement/226153) ## Other Toyota Corolla generations - [2014-2019 Toyota Corolla battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2014-2019/battery) - [2012-2013 Toyota Corolla battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2012-2013/battery) Or [compare all generations](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/battery). ## More for the 2020-2025 Toyota Corolla - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/oil) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/tires) - [Wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/wipers) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/filters) - [Bulbs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/bulbs) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020-2025/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
