What is the battery model for the 2016 Geely Boyue?
2 Answers
Geely Boyue uses a VARTA 60AH battery, with higher-end models possibly having a larger capacity. It is a maintenance-free battery, requiring no addition of battery fluid. Below are the battery statuses indicated by different colors: 1. Green: The battery is in good condition; 2. Black: The battery needs charging; 3. White: The battery needs replacement. When replacing the battery, it is essential to use the same model and specification. Since the vehicle's electrical system has a slight current drain when parked, prolonged inactivity will deplete the battery. Therefore, if the vehicle is to be stored for an extended period, the black negative (-) cable should be disconnected from the battery to prevent discharge.
I remember that the battery model for the 2016 Geely Boyue is mostly a 12V 60Ah lead-acid battery, with brands like Fengfan or Varta. The specific model is usually labeled as 6-QW-60MF—you can find it by opening the black plastic box on the left or front of the engine compartment. When replacing the battery, make sure to match the original specifications to avoid damaging the electronic system with excessive or insufficient current. The battery location is somewhat hidden, but replacement isn’t difficult—basic hand tools will do the job. Just remember to disconnect the negative terminal first to prevent short circuits. Don’t overlook regular maintenance: clean the terminals every couple of months to prevent corrosion—just use water and a small brush. The battery lifespan is typically 3-5 years. Before winter, check the voltage with a multimeter—around 12V is normal; if it drops below 11.5V, it might be time for a replacement to avoid startup failures and getting stranded on the road.
