Introduction
The Alfa Romeo MiTo requires a good battery to avoid trouble and ensure years of trouble-free motoring.
Battery Basics
There are three types of batteries: lead-acid, EFB (Enhanced Flooded Batteries), and AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries.
Lead-acid batteries have been in use since the late 19th century and are well-established, but EFB and AGM batteries are more modern and offer improved performance.
Battery Size and Power
There are three physical sizes of batteries used in the MiTo: ‘012’, ‘027’, and ‘096’.
Batteries are graded by their power, measured in Ampere-hours (Ah) and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA).
The MiTo requires a battery with sufficient power to start the engine, especially in cold weather.
Where to Buy
Buying a battery can be done online or at local service/MOT stations.
Reputable online sellers and local motor factors offer competitive prices and good guarantees.
Halfords and the RAC are more expensive options.
