What is the battery model for Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida's original battery model is a 12V-60Ah Fengfan battery, and it can also use a Bosch battery with the model number L2-400. In daily use, it is important to maintain the battery properly. Here are a few key points to note: 1. If an unlocked car is parked for an extended period, it may cause the car battery to drain and the engine to fail to start; 2. To avoid damage to the car's electrical devices, never connect power accessories such as car battery chargers to the 12V socket or cigarette lighter; 3. If the key is left in the "ACC" position of the ignition switch for a long time with the engine off, it will lead to battery discharge; 4. Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as strong ultraviolet rays can damage the battery casing.
As a Lavida owner, I find battery issues to be quite common. The Lavida typically uses a 12V 60Ah AGM or EFB battery, such as the Varta H6 or similar specifications, depending on the model year. For example, the 2018 model might use the code 575 012 045 to identify it. When replacing the battery, it's crucial to choose the correct model; otherwise, the car may struggle to start or fail completely. I've replaced mine a few times and learned to regularly clean the electrode terminals to prevent corrosion, and to avoid leaving electrical devices on after turning off the engine to save power. In cold winter weather, battery performance drops faster, so it's best to park in a garage or warm up the car. Proper battery maintenance can make the car more durable and fuel-efficient. I recommend checking the voltage every two years. If you notice delayed starting sounds, take action immediately—don't wait until you're stranded on the road. Getting the battery replaced at a professional shop is safe and hassle-free, and it can also extend the lifespan of other electrical components.
