What is the battery model for the 2012 LaCrosse?
2 Answers
The battery brand is ACDelco, model number 34-625, with a capacity of 69Ah (Amp-hours). Additional information: 1. The Buick LaCrosse is a model under the Buick brand. The front features a three-dimensional chrome waterfall grille, and the engine hood is adorned with Porthole chrome vents—inheriting Buick's traditional family design. 2. The Buick LaCrosse is the vertical successor to the SAIC-GM LaCrosse, retaining the original model's bold exterior while improving in design, power, and space. It also upgrades several luxury features, posing a comprehensive challenge to Japanese competitors like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, as well as German rivals such as the Volkswagen Passat and Magotan.
From a car repair perspective, the 2012 Buick LaCrosse typically uses an AGM-type Group 48 battery, with a CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) ranging between 740 and 760. The most common model is the ACDelco Professional AGM H6. This specification is required because the LaCrosse's high-power engine demands strong starting current, especially to avoid cold-weather starting difficulties. The battery is installed under the hood on the right side—just open it to check the label for confirmation. If unsure, consult the owner’s manual or have a professional scan the battery code to ensure compatibility with the original voltage and dimensions. When replacing, opt for an AGM battery for its durability, leak resistance, and suitability for frequent start-stop systems. Regularly inspect terminals for corrosion (wiping them with a cloth extends lifespan) and replace every 3-5 years to prevent roadside breakdowns.
