What is the battery model for the Roewe RX5?
2 Answers
The battery model for the Roewe RX5 is 12V60A. Below are detailed descriptions about the Roewe RX5's battery: 1. The Roewe RX5 battery does not have a fixed replacement cycle. From the perspective of usage and maintenance, whether the vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free battery or a standard battery, the normal service life is approximately 2-3 years. 2. The battery is maintenance-free, so there is no need to add solution. Note: When the vehicle is parked for an extended period (over 1 month), it is recommended to disconnect the negative terminal clamp of the battery. 3. Battery replacement: The battery contains sulfuric acid, which is corrosive. Therefore, when installing or replacing the battery, please have it removed and installed by an authorized after-sales service center.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 gasoline version for almost three years now, and it came with a factory-fitted 12V AGM battery, estimated to be around 60 ampere-hours, as the start-stop function relies entirely on it. This AGM battery is maintenance-free, with the advantage of being durable and less prone to leakage, but it's located on the right side of the engine bay, so you need to be careful not to touch any wires when checking it yourself. My car's battery started showing low voltage after just over two years of use, requiring a charge and test at the 4S shop, and replacing it cost me 800 yuan, which isn't cheap. I mostly drive short distances, and frequent start-stop usage drains the battery faster, so I recommend occasionally taking it on the highway to recharge and maintain it. Also, high summer temperatures can accelerate battery aging. I've seen others switch to regular lead-acid batteries to save some money, but this directly disables the start-stop function, which ends up being a bigger loss. Overall, the battery lifespan is reliably three to five years, with the key being to keep the engine bay well-ventilated and dry.
