Greetings to everybody,

I own a 2017 Picanto 1.0 (non-turbo) and am experiencing difficulty in identifying the appropriate battery for the vehicle. The vehicle is listed in all available systems as equipped with a start-stop feature, although I cannot locate a start-stop button anywhere. The battery currently installed in the vehicle is inadequate; it is a Yuasa YBX3056 (36Ah 330CCA). The little indicator on the battery displays green, however the automobile fails to start after being left unused for many days. This is becoming tedious; does anybody possess the accurate specifications for the needed battery?

A 055 battery serves as a straight replacement for your existing battery (verify specifications prior to installation, since there are 054, 055, and 056 batteries of identical dimensions but varying specifications). If you want to upgrade to a better specification or AGM type battery, ensure it fits inside the designated space.
The green indication just reflects the condition of one cell; the other five may be defective, and this would remain undetected until a failure occurs.

2019 1.2 X Line (without stop-start) battery; it is the original and is rather compact.

I replaced my 1.2 JA with a Yuasa YBX5056 battery, Type 054, 40Ah 360CCA Sealed Calcium for £60.00.

Thank you for your assistance; it is really appreciated. I am perplexed, since it is universally categorised as a start/stop model, but it lacks a button for deactivation. The tiny battery seemed to be appropriate in that instance. I will charge it, and because it requires an extended operation, we will observe its performance.

The "start-stop" system is unrelated to a stop button; the automobile engine will cease operation at traffic signals, contingent upon certain parameters being satisfied, such as battery charge level and air conditioning status, in order to reduce emissions.

I get that; nonetheless, I am referring to the absence of a button to deactivate the start/stop mechanism, such as the A encircled by a circle.
