What’s the Battery Size for a 2015 Chevy Cruze?

Questions and Support
1

I’m looking for some help with my 2015 Chevrolet Cruze. I think the battery might need to be replaced, but I want to make sure I get the right size. I’ve done a bit of research, but I’ve seen different sizes mentioned across various sources, and I’d prefer to hear from fellow Cruze owners or anyone who knows for sure.

Key Points I’m Unsure About:

  • Correct Battery Size: What’s the exact size I should be looking for?
  • Recommended Brands: Are there specific brands you’d recommend for batteries that fit well and have good durability?
  • Installation Tips: If you’ve replaced the battery before, do you have any tips to make the process easier or things to watch out for?

Why I’m Asking:

I want to avoid any complications that might come from using the wrong battery, and I’d appreciate any recommendations based on personal experiences or trusted sources.

Conclusion:

If you’ve dealt with this before or have knowledge about it, I’d love to hear your insights! Thanks in advance for your help!

The 2015 Chevy Cruze typically uses an H7 group size battery. It has a cold cranking amps (CCA) rating around 600 to 720, which is great for cold weather starts!

3

Thanks for the info! I always get confused with those battery group sizes. Is H7 a standard for most cars?

4

H7 is fairly common in many vehicles, especially European models. For the Cruze, it means a compact fit but still lots of power!

5

What about the reserve capacity? I heard it can impact how long the battery can power electronics when the engine is off.

6

Great point, christopher10! The reserve capacity for the Cruze is usually around 100 minutes, which is decent for keeping things running before needing a charge.

7

That’s solid! I usually have my phone and maybe a cooler plugged in. Always worried it won’t last.

8

With a reserve of about 100 minutes, you should be fine for short stops without the engine, but keep an eye on battery health as it ages!

Any recommendations for a good battery brand? I’ve heard mixed reviews about some of them.

10

I’ve personally had good luck with Optima and DieHard batteries. They’ve performed well for me in the long run!

11

I recommend a good AGM battery too. They hold up well under different conditions, but they can be pricier.

12

Don’t forget to consider the warranty! Some brands offer great warranties which can cover potential early failures.

True! I’d rather pay a little more upfront if it means peace of mind down the road.

14

Honestly, I’ve had a Walmart battery last me 7 years! Don’t underestimate the budget options.

Lol, qadams, that’s a solid endorsement! If it works, it works! Just keep in mind the specifics of your vehicle.

The 2015 Chevy Cruze typically uses a Group 47 battery. I’ve had great luck with the Optima RedTop. Super reliable and strong starting power!

17

I also recommend the DieHard Gold series for reliability. It’s been in my Cruze for over three years with no issues!

18

I’ve heard mixed reviews about the EverStart batteries. Some say they’re decent for the price, while others have had them die sooner than expected.

19

I’ve been using a Walmart EverStart for a year now, and it’s still going strong! Can’t beat the price for a budget option.

Totally agree. It seems to depend on the manufacturing batch. Buyer beware!
