CardCashThe short answer
Arjan Battery delivers and fits Amaron, Varta, Bosch, ACDelco, Exide, Energizer, Duracell, Solite, Hyundai Mobis, Panasonic, Tudor, FIAMM, Camel and Sebang car batteries in Arjan and across Dubai. Japanese and Korean cars usually take JIS-size batteries, European cars take DIN sizes, and start-stop cars need EFB or AGM.
Battery brands on the van
We carry brands that car makers fit at the factory and that hold up in Gulf heat. Each one has its strengths, and we will tell you which suits your car.
AmaronThe green maintenance-free battery built for hot roads, and the usual fit for Japanese and Korean cars in Dubai.
VartaThe German battery many European cars leave the factory with, in standard, EFB and AGM form.
BoschA German parts name with a battery range you can read by its code: S4, S5, S4 E and S5 A.
ACDelcoGeneral Motors' own parts brand, and the natural fit for Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac.
ExideOne of the oldest names in car batteries, now made by two separate companies. The label tells you which.
EnergizerA household battery name on a car battery made by a licensed specialist. Judge it by the specification.
DuracellThe copper-top name on a car battery built by licensed manufacturers, with a full start-stop range.
SoliteKorean maintenance-free batteries in the sizes Korean and Japanese cars use
Hyundai MobisThe genuine replacement battery for Hyundai, Kia and Genesis
PanasonicThe Japanese name many Toyota, Lexus and Honda owners already have under the bonnet
TudorAn Exide Technologies brand from Europe for cars that take DIN batteries
FIAMMItalian batteries for Italian, French and German cars
CamelOne of China's largest battery makers, and the natural match for Chinese-brand cars
SebangThe Korean maker behind Rocket batteries
Battery brands compared
How to choose between brands
Match the technology first. A car that left the factory with AGM or EFB must get the same again, whatever the brand.
Match the size and terminal layout. The label on your current battery (for example 80D26L or DIN75) settles it.
Then choose by warranty length and budget. Within the same size and type, the well-known brands perform closely in UAE heat.
Check the date code. A battery that sat on a shelf for a year has already lost part of its life. Ours are rotated as fresh stock.
Which battery type does your car need
The label on your current battery tells us. These are the four you will meet in Dubai.
Flooded and maintenance-free
SMF- Fits
- Most petrol cars without start-stop: Corolla, Sunny, Accent, Pajero, older Land Cruiser.
- In UAE heat
- The most affected by heat. Expect about two to three summers.

Enhanced flooded
EFB- Fits
- Entry start-stop cars and many newer Japanese and Korean models.

What drivers around Arjan say

HassanArjan, Nissan Patrol2 weeks agoThe Patrol would not start in the tower basement before work. The technician found the bay from the pin and level number I sent, tested the old battery and showed me the reading before changing it. He took the old one away with him.
Battery replacement
JamesMotor City, Volkswagen Tiguan1 month agoMy Tiguan has start-stop, so I asked if it needed an AGM battery. He checked the one fitted, confirmed it was AGM and fitted the same type, then coded it with a scan tool. Clear explanation of what he was doing at each step.
Battery replacement
LaylaJVC, Kia Sportage3 weeks agoI thought the battery was finished because the car was slow to start. He tested the battery and the alternator and said the battery still had life in it and only needed a proper charge. He did not try to sell me a new one.
Battery testing
MuhammadAl Barsha South, Toyota Corolla5 days agoI left the interior light on overnight. I sent my location on WhatsApp early in the morning and the car was running again before I had to leave for work. He told me to drive it for a while so the battery could recharge.
Jump start
NouraDubai Hills, Lexus ES 3502 months agoThe price was confirmed on WhatsApp before he set off and the invoice showed the same amount. The battery was changed in our driveway, and the radio and clock settings were still there afterwards.
Battery replacement
OmarArjan, Mitsubishi Pajero1 week agoThe battery gave up late on a Friday night after dinner. I did not expect anyone to answer, but they replied on WhatsApp and a technician came to the building car park. I paid with Tabby.
Battery replacement
SarahStudio City, Mazda CX-54 days agoMy car had been parked for three weeks while I was travelling and it was completely flat. The technician jump-started it, then checked the charging voltage with the engine running to make sure the alternator was doing its job.
Jump start
AaravDubai Science Park, Hyundai Tucson3 months agoThe car would not start in the office car park at lunchtime. He replaced the battery while I went back to my desk and sent me a photo of the charging reading when he was done. The invoice has the warranty period written on it.
Battery replacement
MaricelSports City, Nissan Sunny 10 days agoMy car did not start after my night shift. The technician jump-started it and tested the battery. He said it was weak and would probably need changing soon, but he left the decision to me.

Questions drivers ask before they book
Not answered here? Ask on WhatsApp. A person replies, at any hour.
How fast can you reach me in Arjan?
Usually 20 to 35 minutes from your message, because the vans are based inside Arjan. For neighbours such as Motor City, Dubai Science Park, JVC and Al Barsha South it is similar. Further away we confirm the time before we set off.
Do you charge for delivery or fitting?
No. Delivery to your car and fitting are free when you buy the battery from us. The price we confirm on WhatsApp is the full price, including taking the old battery away.
What warranty do I get?
Up to 24 months, depending on the battery brand and type you choose. The warranty is recorded against your car and sent to you on WhatsApp. If the battery fails a test inside the warranty period, we replace it.
Can you come into a basement car park?
Yes. Most of our Arjan callouts are in tower basements and podium car parks. Send the tower name, parking level and bay number, and tell security a battery technician is coming. Our booster packs and tools are carried by hand where the van cannot enter.
Will a jump start be enough or do I need a new battery?
We test first. If the battery only went flat because lights were left on and it still holds charge, a jump start is enough. If it fails the cranking test or is more than about three years old, replacing it now avoids a second breakdown.
Can I pay with Tabby or Tamara?
Yes. You can split the payment with Tabby or Tamara at the car, or pay by cash or card. Approval for split payments is done by Tabby or Tamara on your phone in a minute or two.
Does my car need the new battery registered?
Many BMW, Mini, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Land Rover and Volvo models do. Our technicians carry a scan tool and register the battery at your door so the car charges it correctly.
Will I lose my radio code or window settings?
We connect a memory saver before removing the old battery wherever the car allows it, so radio presets, the clock and one-touch windows are kept. If something does reset, the technician sets it up again before leaving.
Do you work outside Arjan?
Yes. We cover the rest of Dubai as well as Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. Arrival takes longer the further you are from Arjan, and we tell you the time honestly before you commit.
Which battery brands do you fit?
Amaron, Varta, Bosch, ACDelco, Exide, Energizer, Duracell, Solite, Hyundai Mobis, Panasonic and others, in flooded, EFB and AGM types. We recommend by car and budget, not by what is left on the shelf.
