What is the battery model for the Brilliance BMW 320LI?
2 Answers
The original battery for the Brilliance BMW 320LI uses the Varta brand. Below are some relevant details about the battery: 1. New Battery: If the new battery was produced within the last half-month and has not been used, it can be used directly without charging. If the new battery was produced a while ago or has been used, it is advisable to charge it before use. For dry-charged lead-acid batteries, as per the user manual, if stored for no more than two years, you only need to add the specified density of electrolyte and let it sit for 15 minutes before use—no charging is required. 2. Electricity Usage Habits: Develop good in-car electricity usage habits. Avoid listening to the radio loudly, charging your phone, or using an air pump when the engine is off. Regularly drive on highways for long distances. Driving on highways regularly has many benefits, not only helping to remove carbon deposits from the vehicle but also ensuring the battery is fully charged.
My Brilliance BMW 320Li typically uses an AGM 70Ah battery with H6 dimensions. The start-stop system in this car requires a specialized battery, otherwise it keeps triggering fault warnings. Last time when my battery died, I measured the voltage - it's time for replacement when it drops below 12V, usually lasting about 4-5 years. For regular maintenance, I clean the electrode corrosion every six months to prevent dust and water accumulation from accelerating aging. I recommend keeping a charger for emergencies, especially during winter when cold starts consume more power. A money-saving option is to buy aftermarket AGM batteries online for around 500 yuan, though OEM batteries offer better compatibility and longevity. If the car stalls on the road, immediately pull over safely with hazard lights on - safety first!
