Chrysler
used a variety of battery sizes on 200 models produced in 2015. In most cases, the most important spec to look for isn’t the actual size of the battery, but rather the measurement of its cold cranking amps (CCA). These could vary by trim and engine configuration, but it’s hard to find a rhyme or a reason.Here are a few different batteries that could be found in a 2015 Chrysler 200, depending on the CCA measurement:
- 615 CCA: H6-VL battery
- 680 CCA: H6-DL 48 battery
- 720 CCA: 94RS battery
- 730 CCA: H6-DLG 48 battery
- 750 CCA: H7-EFB battery
- 770 CCA: H7-EFB battery
- 800 CCA: H7-DLG 94R battery
Since you probably already know your Chrysler 200’s CCA specs, you can just head to an auto parts store, like
Advanced Auto Parts
, and buy the battery, right? Yeah… probably not! Don’t worry—most people don’t know their car’s CCA spec off the top of their heads, but there are some pretty easy ways to try to find it.Whip out your 2015 Chrysler 200 owner’s manual—if you still have it—and look in the battery section for the CCA spec. If you don’t have your owner’s manual anymore (or just don’t feel like looking for it) you can always check the label on the current battery for specs, like CCA.
You don’t need to look for one set physical size of battery when you’re doing your shopping, so long as it meets your Chrysler 200’s CCA specs and is considered compatible. Most auto part stores can easily tell you what batteries are compatible with your model, model year, and engine configuration.

How to keep your 2015 Chrysler 200 battery healthy
Whether you’re worried about the current battery in your 2015 Chrysler 200 or you’ve just replaced it, you can take some of the following steps to try to lengthen the lifespan of your car battery:
- Regular usage: Remember when we said your battery is recharged by your engine? Well, you need to turn the engine on and use it for any recharging to actually happen! If your car stays parked in one spot for too long, the battery won’t get any juice and may start to lose power. Give your car a spin around the block—for at least 15 minutes—every now and then to keep its battery juices flowing.
- Manual recharge: If you’ve already left your car in the garage or you have to leave it there while you’re out of town for a few weeks, you can remove it and manually recharge it. This will help get it back up to speed, so to speak, so you can avoid the risk of battery failure when you need to drive it next.
- Turn your lights off: Your engine doesn’t need to be on for electrical components to work. Check the lights in your car and make sure they’re off before you leave. Don’t forget to unplug any charging or power cables for phones and other devices, too!
- Routine maintenance: Many of your car’s systems work in tandem, so if one starts going—they all suffer! Stay on top of your 2015 Chrysler 200’s upkeep to keep the electrical systems working properly and your car battery healthy.
