CR-V hybrid replacement battery

[chrisfurniss]

Hi,

 

I bought a used 2019 CR-V Hybrid about 3 months ago. The 12 V battery has gone dead and needs replacing.  All the online auotomatic battery selector sites (RAC, Halfords, Euro car parts etc) select 175mm wide stop-start battery for it that doesn't fit (I know I bought one!).

 

the existing battery is 125mm wide. I cannot find a stop-start battery in this width anywhere.

 

So what I am wondering is whether I actually need a stop start battery - is this battery getting used each time the engine starts, or does it sue the hybrid battery to start it?

 

Anyone successfully repalced a battery in one of these?

 

Thanks

 

Chris
