Choosing the correct battery type for a 2010 Volkswagen Golf 2.5L is crucial to ensure electrical stability and long-term performance. Most 2010 Golf 2.5L models are designed for a 12-volt lead-acid starting battery, but specific chemistry and capacity recommendations come from Volkswagen’s factory specifications.
