What brand is the original battery for the Magotan B8?
3 Answers
The original battery model for the Magotan is 6-QW-70. The Magotan uses a Fengfan 12v70AH battery, with the model number 6-QW-70. The standard charging current is 'one-tenth of the ampere-hour, 13 hours,' meaning for a battery capacity of 20AH, the charging current is 2A for a duration of 13 hours. Below is more related information: Introduction to the battery: 1. The battery is an essential part of a car and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. 2. If a battery is left unused for a long time, it will slowly self-discharge until it becomes unusable. Therefore, the car should be started periodically to charge the battery. Another method is to disconnect the two electrodes from the battery. It's important to note that when removing the positive and negative electrode wires from the terminal posts, the negative wire should be disconnected first, or the connection between the negative terminal and the car chassis should be removed. 3. The designed lifespan of a battery is 27 months. For general family use, the battery is more economical, with many new car batteries lasting 3-4 years. However, after the first replacement, it is usually necessary to replace the battery every 2 years or so. Taxis, which are used more intensively, may see single-shift vehicles lasting just over a year, while double-shift vehicles may need replacement every 8-10 months.
I've been driving Volkswagen cars for over ten years. The original battery for the Magotan B8 is usually the Varta brand, typically the 72Ah capacity model. This type of battery is quite reliable, but don't expect it to last a lifetime—under normal conditions, it needs to be replaced every 2 to 4 years, especially if you drive a lot in winter when low temperatures make it more prone to losing charge. It's advisable to regularly check the voltage, and if the engine takes longer to start, be alert. When replacing, you can choose the original Varta or alternatives like Bosch; the key is to match the voltage and size, and avoid buying off-brand products to prevent affecting starting performance. In short, a good battery is the heart of the car, so don't neglect its maintenance.
As a frequent long-distance driver, I must say the Magotan B8 comes factory-equipped with a Varta battery, which has been quite reliable. However, battery lifespan is heavily influenced by driving habits. If you often take short trips or leave the car parked for too long, it may die prematurely. I recommend using a smart charger for maintenance to avoid getting stranded. When replacing, the original Varta is pricier, but Varta's EFB or AGM series are also good options—more affordable and durable. Also, pay attention to terminal cleaning; use a toothbrush to sweep away dust to prevent corrosion—safety first!
