Car batteries in Singapore

Updated 5 November 2026

A standard 12V car battery in Singapore costs about S$100 to S$180 at sellers' websites, while lithium units for premium cars start near S$880. The quickest way to get a price for your exact car is to describe it in a BlaBlaPrice request, where local sellers reply with their own offers.

Warranty and local rules

Singapore has no regulation that requires car warranty cover, so what a battery is covered by depends on the seller and the car brand. One motoring association covers members who buy a car battery from 1 July onwards for 24 months, so ask whether any scheme applies to you. Hybrid and electric cars are different: one Toyota Singapore hybrid battery warranty runs up to 5 years or 100,000 km, and one EV brand covers its traction battery for 96 months or 200,000 km. Check which warranty applies to your car before you buy.

Season and heat

Singapore has no winter, so the cold starts that drain batteries in other countries are rare here. Heat and humidity all year shorten battery life, especially for cars parked in the sun. From about November to January the northeast monsoon brings the wettest weather, and a battery that is already weak is more likely to leave you stranded after a long spell parked. Ask for a load test before a long trip rather than after the car fails to start.

How batteries are bought here

Quoted prices are usually for the battery alone. Fitting is sometimes offered separately, since one listing says installation can be arranged, so ask whether the price includes fitting and removal of the old battery. Sizes are given in ampere-hours (Ah) and starting power in cold cranking amps (CCA). Name your area, such as Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio, so the seller can say whether they can deliver or fit the battery there.

What to put in your request

Give your car make, model and year, the engine type (petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric), and the size on the current battery's label, including Ah, CCA and technology: lead-acid, AGM or lithium. Say which polarity you need (positive terminal on the left or right), whether you want the old battery taken in trade, and your budget in S$.

Through BlaBlaPrice you describe the car in your own words. The AI asks for missing details such as the engine and the battery size, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore and shows the prices it finds. Sellers registered on the service reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them. Requests are free for buyers.
