What is the battery model for the Beijing Hyundai ix35?
2 Answers
The original battery model for the Beijing Hyundai ix35 is CMF60L-BCI. This vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free calcium-based battery from the brand Fengfan. The battery has a rated voltage of 12V, a 20-hour rate capacity of 60Ah, and a rated reserve capacity of 92 minutes. The typical lifespan is 2-3 years, and regular inspections are necessary to determine if replacement is needed. Important considerations for battery charging: 1. Rapid discharge: If the battery discharges quickly (e.g., turning on headlights or interior lights while the vehicle is not in use), it should be slow-charged (low current) for 10 hours. 2. High electrical load: If the battery discharges slowly due to high electrical load while the vehicle is in use, it should be charged at 20-30A for 2 hours. 3. Battery gassing: During charging, observe the battery. If violent gassing (boiling) occurs or the electrolyte temperature exceeds 49°C (120°F), stop charging or reduce the charging rate. 4. Disconnecting the charger: Follow these steps to disconnect the battery charger: turn off the charger's main switch; remove the negative terminal clamp; remove the positive terminal clamp. 5. Battery maintenance: Before servicing or recharging the battery, turn off all accessories and stop the engine.
I've been driving a Hyundai ix35 for two years. When I first bought it, the battery was a 60Ah AGM model, with a label showing something like L2360. I remember having difficulty starting the car on winter mornings last year, and after inspection, I found the battery had aged, but the model was correct. When replacing the battery, the mechanic emphasized the importance of matching the original factory specifications, otherwise the start-stop system might malfunction. Such batteries typically last 3-5 years. It's important to minimize short trips that drain the battery and regularly check the voltage with a multimeter. If the voltage drops below 12V, it's time for a replacement. The battery is located under the hood at the front right corner. Replacing it yourself is straightforward, but make sure to buy a reputable brand for safety.
