Boot lid held open
If the lid closes while the battery is disconnected, it cannot be reopened, so it is propped up before any cable is touched.
Italian · Sports SaloonYour Alfa Romeo's battery is tested free at home, at work or at the kerbside, and a matched replacement goes in there and then, day or night. On the Giulia and Stelvio the battery lives in the boot, so the lid is propped open and its emergency release set out before a cable comes off, and the steering is initialised before you get the keys back.

Alfa Romeo batteries are changed where the car sits, after a free test, so a battery with life left in it is not replaced. The 2017 Giulia owner's handbook places the Giulia's battery inside the boot, behind an access panel, with remote jump poles in the engine bay. Alfa Romeo's service steps for the 2019 to 2021 Stelvio place it under the boot's load floor.
The same handbook refers battery replacement to an Alfa Romeo dealership and asks for a heavy-duty battery matching the original's type and specifications. When you book, we go through that with you; where we fit the battery, it matches that type.

Alfa Romeo's service steps for the 2020 to 2021 Giulia and the 2019 to 2021 Stelvio start the same way, and so do we.
If the lid closes while the battery is disconnected, it cannot be reopened, so it is propped up before any cable is touched.
The boot's emergency release cord is freed and left hanging outside the luggage compartment, in case the lid shuts by accident.
Windows left part-way down when the battery goes need their end-of-travel learning run again, so they go up first.
Each Alfa Romeo battery replacement starts from the label on the original battery. On its Start & Stop cars, the 2017 Giulia handbook calls for a heavy-duty unit matching that type and those specifications, and that is what goes in.
The Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) beside the negative terminal measures charge and discharge voltage, and the handbook says a charger's voltage must go through it. On the Tonale, 4C, Giulietta, MiTo, Brera and 159, the battery's position and type are read on the car before a price is given.

The 2017 Giulia handbook's start-up routine after the battery has been reconnected:
Press the start button without the pedals so the instrument panel lights up, and only then start the engine.
A warning symbol stays on until the wheel goes from one end to the other and back to centre, within 30 seconds of starting.
If a red warning light stays on, stop the engine, wait at least 5 seconds and repeat the start.
The release cord goes back in its housing, the battery cover and floor return, and the lid is shut.
What the 2017 Giulia handbook says about a battery left standing:
Held under 50% charge for a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation and loses capacity and starting power.
Doors, tailgate and bonnet properly shut, so no interior light stays on.
A charger must give constant voltage below 14.8 V, at 15 A at most.
A quick-type charger is never used to provide the starting voltage.

Alfa Romeo batteries start from AED 175 fitted. You hear the exact figure for your Giulia, Stelvio or older Alfa on the phone and agree it before anyone sets off. Testing, delivery and fitting add nothing, no call-out fee is charged, and the battery that comes out leaves with us for recycling.
The battery sits in the luggage compartment, and Alfa Romeo's service steps for 2020 and 2021 Giulias warn that the lid cannot be reopened if it closes while the battery is disconnected. We prop it open and set the emergency release cord out before any cable comes off, so the job never ends with a locked boot.
The 2017 Giulia handbook says a warning symbol stays on after reconnection until the steering is initialised: turn the wheel from one end to the other and back to centre within 30 seconds of starting. We complete this before handing the car back, so you drive away with the light out.
Yes, through the remote poles in the engine compartment that the 2017 Giulia handbook describes, since the battery itself is in the boot. The negative pole sits next to the right-hand bonnet lock. A jump-start costs from AED 99, and should the battery fail its test afterwards, a replacement can be quoted during that visit.
The 2017 Giulia handbook refers battery replacement to an Alfa Romeo dealership and asks for a heavy-duty battery matching the original's type and specifications. At booking we go through that with you so the choice is yours; where we fit it, the battery matches that type and carries our 1-year warranty.
