What is the battery model for the Beijing Hyundai ix35?
3 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.
I often help friends with car maintenance. The standard battery model for the ix35 is a 60Ah AGM. This model is chosen because it matches the vehicle's electrical system and provides stable voltage output. During repairs, I've found that switching to a smaller capacity battery can cause delayed or failed cold starts. It's important to regularly check the electrode connections for rust and ensure they are tightly secured. The battery typically lasts about 4 years, but if you drive frequently in the city, it's best to have it checked once a year. The original factory model offers good compatibility, avoiding overload from aftermarket electrical accessories and reducing the risk of short circuits for better safety.
