Full specifications by generation

The battery on a Toyota RAV4 is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.

Toyota RAV4 battery: common questions

What size battery does a Toyota RAV4 take?

BCI group 47 (H5/LN2), 2019–2020; 48 (H6/LN3), from ~2021. 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.

Does the Toyota RAV4 need an AGM battery?

The factory battery is an EFB type. Match the type when you replace it.

Where is the battery on a Toyota RAV4?

Engine bay, driver side.

Does a Toyota RAV4 need the battery registered after replacement?

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).
