What is the battery model for the Hyundai ix35?
2 Answers
The original battery model for the Hyundai ix35 is CMF60L-BCI. This vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free calcium-based battery, with the brand being Fengfan Battery. The rated voltage is 12V, the 20-hour rate capacity is 60Ah, and the rated reserve capacity is 92Min. The typical lifespan is around 2-3 years, requiring regular checks to determine if replacement is needed. Important considerations when charging the battery: Rapid discharge: If the battery discharges rapidly in a short time (e.g., turning on headlights or interior lights while the vehicle is not in use), it should be charged slowly (low current) for 10 hours. High electrical load: If the battery discharges slowly due to a high electrical load while the vehicle is in use, it should be charged at 20-30A for 2 hours. Battery gassing: When charging the battery, observe carefully. If violent gassing (boiling) occurs in any battery cell or the electrolyte temperature exceeds 49°C (120°F), stop charging or reduce the charging rate. Disconnecting the charger: Follow these steps to disconnect the battery charger: Turn off the main switch of the battery charger; Remove the negative terminal clamp from the battery; Remove the positive terminal clamp from the battery. Battery maintenance: Before performing battery maintenance or recharging the battery, turn off all accessories and stop the engine.
I've been driving a Hyundai ix35 for several years and remember the original battery was either 65 or 70 ampere-hours, typically in a standard size like 55D23L. Back then, I had trouble starting it in winter, and the 4S shop said the battery was aging and needed replacement. They recommended the same 55D23L model for easy matching and quicker starts. I suggest car owners check the battery voltage every two years—if it drops below 12 volts, it's time for a new one to avoid getting stranded, especially in cold weather when batteries tend to lose charge. Regular maintenance can save a lot of hassle. By the way, when choosing a battery, don’t just look at the price—the original factory-matched ones are more durable and safer. After I replaced mine, starting became much smoother.
