What is the battery model for the BYD S6?
3 Answers
The original battery models for the BYD S6 come in two types: one is the Varta Silver Dynamic 90D26R, 12V 80Ah; the other is the Varta 55D26L, 12V 60Ah. The S6 is BYD's first SUV model. Below is some information about the BYD S6: (1) It is positioned as a mid-to-high-end domestic SUV. (2) Its dimensions are 4810/1855/1680mm in length/width/height, with a wheelbase of 2720mm. (3) In terms of powertrain, the S6 offers three engine displacements: 1.5L, 2.0L, and 2.4L, divided into four trims: Manual Luxury, Manual Premium, Automatic Premium, and Automatic Flagship, equipped with either the BYD483QB or Mitsubishi 4G69 engine.
The battery model for the BYD S6 is typically 12V 60Ah, with specific models possibly varying based on the production year and configuration, such as the common 55D23R or LBN2. Having driven this car, I know its battery is located on the left side of the engine bay, making it easily accessible. The original battery is a lead-acid type, suitable for daily city driving. When replacing the battery, it's important to match the size and capacity—too small may cause starting difficulties, while too large might not fit due to limited space. I recommend checking the vehicle manual or consulting a 4S shop, as they have official records. Regular maintenance should include checking the battery voltage; addressing low charge promptly can extend its lifespan. A sudden battery failure in remote areas can be troublesome, so carrying a portable jump starter is a good precaution.
I bought a BYD S6 ten years ago, and the car has been on many long trips. The original battery lasted about four years before needing replacement. At that time, I replaced it with a similar model to the factory one, a 12V 60Ah VARTA brand, which cost me a few hundred yuan. Nowadays, common brands in the market include Fengfan, Camel, etc., and you can get one for under a thousand yuan. I prefer to replace it myself to save costs, but don’t be careless with the wiring. Whenever the car doesn’t start smoothly, check the battery status—a charger can be a big help. Before long-term parking, disconnect the battery to avoid natural discharge. This small habit can extend the battery’s life by several years.
