Fits (confirmed, 279×175×189mm class): Jeep Compass (2017+) · Hyundai i40 (2012–2019), Hyundai Kona petrol/hybrid (2018+) · Nissan Navara 4-Cyl NP300 (2015+) · Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 C200 (2014–2021) · Audi A3 8P (2003–2020, stop-start only from ~2009 facelift on) · Audi A4 B8 (2008–2016, stop-start only from ~2011/2012 facelift on) · VW Golf Mk7 (2013–2020) · VW Polo Mk6 (2018–2025). Note: Jeep Compass and Nissan Navara are genuine case-size/polarity matches but are not factory stop-start equipped in Australian spec. This case size doesn't match the JIS battery trays most mainstream Japanese/Korean vehicles use — if your car isn't listed here, it very likely needs a different SaltyCell SKU or isn't covered yet. Use the compatibility checker to confirm before ordering.
Why the NA1270-280

Built for Mid-Size SUVs, Sedans & European Compact/Mid-Size

Sized for Australia's Favourites

A 50Ah sodium-ion battery with built-in BMS in a European stop-start-class case — confirmed for Jeep Compass, Hyundai i40/Kona, Nissan Navara, Mercedes C-Class, Audi A3/A4 and VW Golf/Polo, with more vehicles being verified and added.

Built-In BMS, Stop-Start Ready

50Ah of sodium-ion capacity with a built-in BMS for cell monitoring and stop-start compatibility on the vehicles in this range that use it — shrugging off the shallow-cycling that kills lead-acid batteries in urban traffic.

Built for the Heat

Sodium-ion chemistry doesn't sulphate or fade in summer engine bays — the number-one killer of lead-acid batteries in Australia.

Common Questions

NA1270-280 FAQs

The NA1270-280 uses standard dimensions (279 × 175 × 189 mm) and terminal layout, so it drops into the same tray as the battery it replaces — no adapters, no rewiring. Use our free compatibility checker to confirm the match for your exact make, model and year.

No. The NA1270-280 is a true drop-in replacement for your 12V lead-acid battery. Its built-in BMS handles cell monitoring and stop-start compatibility, and your existing alternator and charging system work as-is — no rewiring, no modifications, no workshop time.

Every SaltyCell carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty, backed by a 30-day return window and your rights under Australian Consumer Law. See our warranty policy for full details.
