What is the battery model for the 10th-generation Civic?

[SarahAnn]

The battery model for the 10th-generation Civic is the Varta 48AH(5). The replacement cycle for a car battery is typically 2 to 3 years. If the vehicle undergoes regular maintenance, the battery replacement cycle can be extended accordingly. If the battery ages, internal overheating may occur, leading to deformation during use. The 10th-generation Civic has dimensions of 4517mm in length, 1799mm in width, and 1434mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The front track is 1547mm, and the rear track is 1563mm. The vehicle's engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 177Ps, a maximum power output of 130kW, and a maximum torque of 220Nm.

I remember when driving the 10th-gen Civic, the battery model was usually 55B24L, which is the standard OEM specification with dimensions and terminal positions matching the body design. My 2017 model had its battery replaced with the 55B24L specification, and the startup response improved significantly. There might be slight variations for different years or trims, such as the 2019 high-end version using a slightly larger size, so it's advisable to check the user manual or the label on the battery itself for confirmation. If unsure about the model, you can measure the length, width, and height of the battery compartment in the engine bay before purchasing. When choosing a battery, don't just focus on price; pay attention to the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating—higher values perform better in extremely cold weather. Regularly check the cleanliness of the terminals to avoid corrosion affecting conductivity. If you're skilled enough to replace it yourself, remember to disconnect the negative terminal for safe operation.

The standard battery model for the 10th-generation Civic is typically 55B24L, where 'B' represents the case size, '24' indicates the rated capacity, and 'L' refers to the terminal layout on the left. The specific amperage is around 45, which suits the electrical demands of this generation. When replacing the battery, ensure the new battery's CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) value and dimensions match the factory requirements, otherwise, it may affect starting performance or space compatibility. Similar brands like Yuasa or Bosch offer the same specifications with reliable performance in the market. I recommend checking the vehicle manual before purchase to avoid buying the wrong one; opting for higher quality can extend service life. Different markets, such as North America, might use the Group 51R standard, but 55B24L is more common in Asia. During installation, ensure terminals are securely fastened to minimize vibration damage.

The 10th-generation Civic mostly uses the 55B24L battery model, which can be easily identified by checking the label on the battery under the hood. The owner's manual also provides a clear list—just flip to the maintenance section. Changing the battery isn't difficult; it's a simple tool operation: measure the dimensions for a proper fit and choose one with a CCA rating above 400A for all-weather suitability. I had no issues when replacing mine—once the size matched, installation was smooth, and the car ran fine. There aren’t significant variations across model years; 2016 to 2021 models are largely consistent, but it's safer to double-check. After a new battery swap, the car starts faster, reducing worries.
