Gas models: early XA50s shipped with a DIN Group 47 (H5) battery; by 2021 the factory fit was the larger Group 48 (H6). The tray has two hold-down positions, so either size fits most years. Match your old battery or go H6 for more capacity. Cars with Stop & Start should get an EFB or AGM, not a basic flooded battery. Hybrid and Prime use different batteries (see engine entries).
