What is the battery model for Geely Emgrand?
2 Answers
Geely Emgrand battery model is 6QAW60a12V, where 12V represents the battery voltage of 12V. The number 6 indicates that it consists of 6 single cells, each with a voltage of 2V, resulting in a rated voltage of 12V. Q stands for automotive starting battery. A and W denote the type of battery, with A representing dry-charged battery and W indicating maintenance-free battery. Functions of the battery: When starting the engine, it provides a strong starting current (around 10A) to the starter; when the generator is overloaded, it can assist the generator in supplying power to electrical equipment; when the engine is idling, it supplies power to electrical equipment; the battery also acts as a large-capacity capacitor, protecting the vehicle's electrical appliances; when the generator's terminal voltage is higher than the electromotive force of the lead-acid battery, it converts part of the electrical energy into chemical energy for storage, i.e., charging. When using the battery, avoid leaving the car parked in an open parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. In winter, car engines are harder to start, and each starting attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with a minimum interval of 15 seconds between attempts. The car battery should be charged regularly, as prolonged disuse will lead to self-discharge and eventual scrapping. Therefore, start the car periodically to charge the battery.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand for several years. The original car battery model is usually 12V 60Ah, such as Camel brand 6-QW-60 or Varta H6, with a cold cranking amperage (CCA) around 550A. There are differences between models - for example, the 1.5L engine might use 60Ah, while the 1.3T version upgrades to 65Ah. Checking the manual is most accurate; don't casually replace with the wrong model. Battery lifespan is typically 3-5 years - when experiencing starting difficulties or dim lights, it's time for inspection. Northern winters are prone to issues, so I recommend testing voltage during annual maintenance. My last replacement cost over 600 yuan with a two-year warranty, which was quite cost-effective. Regular maintenance can prevent breakdowns.
