What is the battery model for Lavida?
2 Answers
Lavida batteries come in two models: Fengfan 6QW60 and Bosch L2400. The original car battery has a lifespan of 3 to 4 years, and Volkswagen provides a 2-year warranty for the battery. In addition to regular maintenance at 4S stores, daily battery care is essential. When replacing or installing a Lavida battery, it is important to turn off the ignition switch and all electrical appliances before removing the battery. Lavida is Shanghai Volkswagen's first independently developed A-class car, which not only maintains the excellent quality of German design but also incorporates many aesthetic concepts reflecting traditional Chinese culture and cutting-edge design elements. The front face design of Lavida is significantly different from previous Volkswagen A-class cars, especially its unique teardrop-shaped headlights. In terms of body line design, Lavida features sharp waistlines while retaining a side profile similar to the Octavia, a design that facilitates easy access for rear passengers.
I've driven several Lavidas, and the battery models are usually 12V 60Ah lead-acid or AGM types. The original equipment comes with Varta L2-400 or similar versions, depending on the model year. After 2015, it might have been upgraded to 70Ah. Last time, I replaced it myself because the battery was four years old and aging—it made a clicking sound for a long time during startup but wouldn't fire up. I spent 700 yuan at an auto parts store to buy a Varta battery, making sure to measure the dimensions accurately to avoid it not fitting into the left side of the engine bay. Remember to disconnect the negative terminal before replacement to prevent short circuits and damage to the electrical system. For maintenance, it's recommended to regularly check the voltage; if it drops below 12V, it's time to inspect the battery's lifespan. Frequent use of the start-stop feature can shorten the battery's life, so that's something to watch out for. Overall, the Lavida's battery compatibility is high, and choosing a reputable brand with a CCA value above 550A ensures reliable cold starts in winter.
