What battery model is suitable for Wuling Hongguang?
3 Answers
The battery model for Wuling Hongguang is 6QW45S, with a lifespan of 3 to 4 years. As the number of charge and discharge cycles increases, the battery's performance will decline, affecting the normal operation of the car engine, and it needs to be replaced in time. The dimensions of the 2020 Wuling Hongguang are 4390mm in length, 1660mm in width, and 1750mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720mm, a top speed of 120km/h, and it meets the China VI emission standard. The 2020 Wuling Hongguang is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 56kw, a maximum torque of 110nm, and a maximum torque speed of 3000 to 4000 rpm.
I've been driving my Wuling Hongguang for five years and often need to replace the battery. I recommend installing a 12V battery with around 60 ampere-hours. Brands like Fengfan or Camel are quite common. Last winter, when my battery died, I directly replaced it with a 60Ah model, and it starts up really fast now. Battery lifespan is generally three to four years, so it's advisable to regularly check the voltage and replace it promptly if it's low—don't wait until you're stranded on the road. When choosing a battery, pay attention to the cold cranking amps (CCA). Although the Wuling Hongguang has a small engine, cold weather demands higher performance, so opting for a higher CCA value is more reliable. It's best to have it installed at a professional shop. If you're doing it yourself, disconnect the negative terminal first to avoid short circuits and damage to the car. Also, avoid letting the battery drain if the car is parked for too long. Using a battery maintainer frequently can save you money and hassle in the long run.
As a DIY car enthusiast, I've helped my neighbor replace the Wuling Hongguang battery. A 12V 60Ah model like the 6-QW-60 from Fengfan is the most suitable and easy to find. During installation, you need to remove the front cover and measure the old battery's size first to ensure the new one fits the socket. It's simple to replace it yourself—use a wrench to loosen the terminals, connect the positive terminal first, then the negative, and avoid reversing them to prevent sparks. Buy a reputable brand for durability, as cheap batteries tend to leak and can leave you stranded in winter. Don’t go for excessive capacity—the Wuling Hongguang is lightweight, so 60Ah is sufficient. Larger batteries are a waste of money and space. Regular maintenance can extend its lifespan by over a year—remember to add distilled water to prolong its life.
