What battery does the Geely King Kong use?

[Eddie]

Geely King Kong uses the Camel brand battery, with a model specification of 12 volts and 45 ampere-hours. Introduction to car batteries: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly composed of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Lifespan of car batteries: The normal lifespan ranges from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the condition of the vehicle. If the vehicle's alternator recharges normally and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can generally last for more than 3 years. If you notice that the battery is not holding a charge, the starter is weak, or the headlights are significantly dimmer, you should remove the battery and charge it for 12-24 hours using a charger. If the problem persists and the mileage exceeds 50,000 kilometers without any alternator issues, it may be time to consider replacing the battery.

I've driven a Geely King Kong for five years and just replaced the battery with a 6-QW-60 model, which has a capacity of 60Ah. The original battery was a Sail brand, but I found that Varta lasts longer during the replacement, though it costs about a hundred yuan more. When replacing the battery, pay attention to the size—the battery compartment in the front can only fit a battery up to 27 cm long, so make sure not to buy one that's too big and won't fit. The electrode terminals are L-shaped positive heads, so have a wrench ready if you're replacing it yourself. Don’t forget to turn off the headlights when parking, especially in winter when the voltage drops quickly. Difficulty starting in the morning is often a sign of battery aging. It’s recommended to check the electrode terminals every three years—if there’s white corrosion, clean it immediately to extend the battery’s lifespan by a year or two.

The battery used in the Geely King Kong mainly falls within the 60-65 ampere-hour range, depending on the model year. My 2013 model uses the 55D23L type, but my friend's 2015 model was replaced with a 6-QW-65. When getting it replaced at the repair shop, the mechanic said the car's alternator output current isn't very high, so using an expensive battery would be a waste. A budget-friendly option like Camel or Chaowei, priced around 300 yuan, is sufficient. The key is to check the cold cranking amps (CCA); if it's below 450A, starting the car in winter can be difficult. Once, I lent my car to someone who returned it after running the AC at full blast and playing music for an hour, and the battery was completely dead the next day. Such deep discharges are particularly harmful to the battery. Now, I always make sure to turn off all electrical appliances before shutting off the engine.

The mechanic at the repair shop told me that the Geely King Kong's battery tray design is relatively small, with recommended dimensions of 238mm in length and 129mm in width. The original battery is mostly from Fengfan brand, but some use Varta. When choosing a battery, look at three numbers: 12V voltage, 60Ah capacity, and 480A cold cranking amps (CCA). If replacing with a non-original part, make sure the terminal direction matches. Last week, while helping a neighbor replace the battery in their King Kong, I found that the positive terminal clip has a special position, making it impossible to fit a regular battery. Another useful tip: after replacing the battery in this car, you always need to reset the window anti-pinch function—just hold the window switch for five seconds to fix it.
