Skoda Fabia's dedicated car battery brand and model: GS56093; specifications: 12V 60AH. Below is a detailed introduction about the Fabia car: 1. Overview: The Skoda Fabia was born in 1999 and has been a bestseller in the European small car market since its launch. The Fabia Enjoy Special Edition shows no changes in appearance compared to the current model, with three body colors available: Latin Red, Electric Blue, and Jazz White. 2. Space: The new Fabia is 3993mm long, 1732mm wide, and 1487mm high, with a wheelbase of 2470mm. Compared to the 2014 Fabia, the new Fabia's body width has increased by 90mm, enhancing the lateral seating space inside the car.
I've been driving a Skoda Fabia for several years, and mine is the 2015 model. The battery model it uses is 12V 54Ah, specifically Varta 544 or similar specifications. When I bought it, I asked at the 4S shop, and they mentioned that batteries might vary for different model years. For example, older models before 2010 might come with a 44Ah battery. Battery maintenance is crucial, especially in northern winters when starting issues often indicate it's time to check the battery voltage. A reliable voltage should be above 12.4V; if it's too low, it's time for a replacement. I've measured the voltage myself before—just using a multimeter, it's quite simple. When replacing the battery, don't cut corners; the size must match the original. Even a slight difference in length or width might prevent it from fitting properly, affecting starting performance. It's more reliable to visit a repair shop and have them test it—spending a little money can save you from bigger troubles.
Many Skoda Fabia battery failures are encountered during repairs. The standard model is typically a 12V battery with a capacity between 55Ah and 60Ah, depending on the vehicle's year and engine displacement. For example, the 2018 1.4L model might use a 54Ah battery, but the design changed after 2020. I often advise owners to check the battery specifications in their vehicle's manual, with common models being 544 34 or L2 400. If the battery is aging and the voltage drops below 12.2V, it's time for a replacement. When choosing a new battery, the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) should be high to suit the local climate—for areas with heavy winter snow, a CCA of 500 or more is recommended. A simple test is to check if the alternator output is normal, with a normal range of 13.8V to 14.8V. Don't overlook corrosion in the battery box, as prolonged exposure can affect contact and cause starting issues.
