What is the battery model for the Hyundai Mistra?
2 Answers
The battery model specification for the Hyundai Mistra is 55D26L. Battery types may vary across different vehicle versions, and the presence of auto start-stop functionality can also affect the battery model. The Mistra's battery capacity is 60AH. Automotive battery capacity indicates the amount of electricity discharged under specific conditions, typically measured in ampere-hours (Ah). For instance, a 60Ah battery can discharge continuously for 60 hours at a 1A current. Car batteries, also known as storage batteries, operate by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The Mistra is a mid-size sedan under the Hyundai brand, with body dimensions of 4710mm in length, 1820mm in width, 1470mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2770mm.
Last time I helped my cousin replace the battery in his Mistra, I did some research on this. The 2016 model uses the 55D23L type, which is relatively long in size, with a cold cranking amperage (CCA) of around 650A. Later models switched to the H5 specification, which is smaller in size but has a larger capacity, with parameters like 70Ah/760CCA. It depends on the specific year—2016 was a turning point. If the car has an auto start-stop function, it's even more complicated; you must use an AGM battery, as a regular battery would be ruined in three months. If you're replacing it yourself, pay close attention to the terminal orientation—some cars have the positive and negative terminals reversed compared to Japanese cars. I recommend lifting the hood and checking the label on the old battery directly; it's much more accurate than looking up information.
