I've got a 2015 Panda Pop (basic model, no start-stop). Still using the same battery that came with it (nearly 10 years old).

When using my reg plate, Tayna, Halfords and Eurocarparts all recommend a 012 battery (207mm*175mm*190mm).

The battery that was originally fitted is only 175mm*175mm*190mm, which Tayna thinks is a 002L.

The recommended battery will probably fit (same height and width, just a bit longer) should I just get a Varta 012? The CCA / power figures are slightly more generous than the original battery that came with the Panda.

I just fitted the batteryoff our Seat Leon (recently deceased) to a Panda. Its much bigger and higher capacity. Allthat was nnecessary was removal of two packing blocks that change the battery base p:ROFLMAO:e. They just pushed on. Moral of this tale? Yes the bigger battery will fit and 50 or 60 amp/hrs is better than the 45 originally fitted. I bought two bigger batteries from Halfords (Yuasa) for our 2 Pandas a year ago, but only because a 4 year warranty was available and they were cheaper at that time. However the cars original smaller battery had lasted 12 years so DON'T be sold a tale by battery sales people!
 
When I had my Panda which was a Pop model like your car I swapped the original battery out when it started to pack in at 3 years old for a Varta C30 which fitted in the battery tray with no issues, here is a link to it currently advertised from Tanya batteries who come very highly recommend on this forum https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/varta/c30/
Battery megastore are usually really good as well but they haven't got the C30 listed on their site at the moment
 
I just bought a new battery for my Panda from Tayna and the delivery service was amazing. I ordered it on Tuesday this week (18-02-25) at 15:30 pm and it was delivered the next day around teatime. And it was cheap.

Thanks "Fiat Matt94" for your link to Tayna. 👍👍
