What battery model is used for the Passat?
1 Answers
Different configurations of the Passat use different battery models. Below are the details: 1. Mid to low-end models are equipped with a VARTA 12V-280A-60AH battery. 2. High-end models are equipped with a VARTA 12V-380A-72AH battery. Here are some tips for battery maintenance: (1) Avoid parking the car in an open parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. (2) In winter, the car engine may be harder to start. Each attempt to start the engine should not exceed 5 seconds, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts. If the engine fails to start after multiple attempts, check other aspects such as the electrical circuit, ignition coil, or fuel system. Avoid continuous attempts to start, as this can lead to battery damage due to excessive discharge. (3) Regularly charge the car battery. A battery left unused will gradually discharge on its own and eventually become unusable. Therefore, start the car periodically to recharge the battery. (4) Clean the battery terminals periodically and apply specialized grease to protect the wiring harness. Regularly inspect the battery components and connecting wires. (5) Avoid using car electronics after the engine is turned off. Using the battery alone when the engine is not generating power can cause damage.
