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

[GabrielleDella]

The 10th generation Civic uses a VARTA brand 48AH(5)/60AN(20) battery. Vehicles equipped with engine energy-saving auto start-stop function have specially designed batteries installed. If battery replacement is needed, ensure to select the specific dedicated model. Please consult your dealer for details. Here is some information about the battery: 1. Generally, newer cars consume less battery because the starter works efficiently and saves battery power, and the alternator works well to fully charge the battery. As the car ages, especially after replacing those two major components - the starter and alternator - since there's a huge price difference between genuine and refurbished products in the market, owners often opt for non-genuine parts, making the battery more prone to failure. 2. Frequent off-road use can easily damage the battery. Automotive batteries have a technical indicator to show their vibration resistance performance. Even qualified batteries will fail more easily if working in poor conditions with frequent vibrations.

I recently replaced the battery in my 10th-gen Civic. The original one was a Yuasa 55B24LS model with 60Ah capacity, which is commonly used in many standard versions. Later, when changing the battery, the mechanic recommended a Varta Blue Dynamic of the same model, which was about two to three hundred cheaper than the original. Remember to ensure the battery size fits perfectly in its slot, and the positive and negative terminals must be correctly identified. During regular maintenance, it's best to periodically check the battery terminals for oxidation and tighten the screws to avoid unnecessary trouble. In summer, high temperatures can cause the battery to drain quickly, so avoid keeping the AC or music on after turning off the engine, especially for cars over five years old—watch out for signs like slower cranking speed.

Common battery issues with the 10th-gen Civic encountered over a decade of repair experience. Base models typically use 55B24L batteries, while higher trims with start-stop systems are equipped with 70D23L. These two have different sizes and terminal positions - incorrect replacements simply won't fit. Some customers opted for cheap off-brand batteries only to experience complete discharge and breakdown within three months. We recommend choosing corresponding models from Camel or Bosch, with cold cranking amps (CCA) rating of at least 480A for reliable winter starts in snowy conditions. For DIY installation, always disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive, ensuring wrenches don't contact metal body parts. Owners with aftermarket audio systems should consider installing a battery voltage monitor for real-time status checks.

After studying the manual data, the 10th-generation Civic's batteries are divided into two categories: the 1.6L version uses the 55D23L model with a capacity of 65Ah; the 1.5T version mostly uses the 55B24LS with a capacity of 60Ah. For start-stop functionality, EFB or AGM enhanced batteries are required. Last time at the 4S store, the shelves were all labeled with Honda's original part number 31100-TEA. Be sure to choose a 12V specification, and measure the terminal dimensions at 24cm long and 13cm wide. If you frequently take short trips, you can use a battery charger once a month to extend its lifespan. Japanese car battery terminals are relatively thin, so pay attention to the clamps as they can easily become loose.
