What is the battery model for Cadillac XT4?
3 Answers
The original battery model for Cadillac XT4 is the AC Delco brand. Different vehicle models may have varying battery specifications, and the presence of an engine start-stop function can also affect the battery type. Drivers should inquire clearly before purchasing. The steps for replacing the Cadillac XT4 battery are as follows: Removing the battery: Open the trunk and remove the spare tire. Take off the bracket nuts and the battery protective cover. First disconnect the negative terminal, then remove the positive terminal. Replacing the battery: There is usually a fixing bracket around the battery. All fixing brackets must be removed before the battery can be replaced.
I drive an XT4, and the original battery of this car really depends on the model year. My 2020 2.0T model came with a Delco 79AH AGM battery, which is essential for the start-stop function. Later, many 2021 models switched to the H6-AGM type, with a cold cranking amperage of around 760A. When replacing the battery, make sure you get the right one—have the shop check it against the VIN on the door frame. Last time I replaced mine at an auto parts market, it cost me 1,200, half the price of a dealership, but remember to reset the computer with a diagnostic tool afterward, or the start-stop system will throw a fault code. It’s been two and a half years now, and it’s holding up well.
My friend just helped replace the battery for his XT4, and there's quite a bit to it. The original equipment uses an AGM start-stop battery, available in 70AH and 80AH variants. The key is to check the label on the battery: codes like H6 or 48AGM are the correct ones. He initially went for a cheaper regular battery, only to find the start-stop function failed immediately, forcing him to replace it with a genuine one on the third day. It's advisable to measure the battery compartment dimensions beforehand, roughly 27x17x19 cm (LxWxH). Opt for a battery with a cold cranking current of at least 700A to ensure it starts even at -20°C in winter. DIY replacement isn't too difficult, but remember to disconnect the negative terminal first before removing the positive one.
