How to Distinguish Battery Size and Model?
1 Answers
Battery models consist of three parts, separated by dashes. Part One: The number of series-connected single cells, represented by Arabic numerals. Generally, a 12V battery contains six single cells, denoted by the number "6"; a 6V battery contains three single cells, denoted by the number "3". Part Two: Battery type and characteristics, usually indicated by the first letter of Chinese characters. The first letter typically represents the battery's purpose, such as Q for automotive starting batteries, M for motorcycle batteries, JC for marine batteries, HK for aviation batteries, D for electric vehicle batteries, and F for valve-regulated batteries. The second letter indicates battery characteristics, such as A for dry-charged, H for wet-charged, W for maintenance-free, S for low-maintenance, M for fully sealed, J for gel electrolyte, etc. If not specified, it indicates a standard battery. Part Three: The battery's rated capacity, commonly referred to as the battery capacity, measured in ampere-hours (Ah), which is usually not labeled. Identifying a battery mainly relies on this number.
