3 Answers
The battery model of Dongfeng Yueda Kia K2 is 6QW45MF, with a rated voltage of 12V and a rated current of 45Ah. The Kia K2 is a compact car with body dimensions of 4400mm in length, 1740mm in width, 1460mm in height, a wheelbase of 2600mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 43 liters. The Kia K2 is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 100hp and a maximum power of 73.3kW at 6300 rpm. It features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I also drive a Kia K2, and the battery model is 12V 60Ah 46B24L. Last winter when it wouldn't start, I replaced it with a new battery at the 4S dealership. They said the voltage and size need to match, otherwise it could affect the starting performance. The battery life for a K2 is typically three to five years, so check the voltage regularly and don’t forget to turn off electrical devices when parked to avoid draining the battery. I recommend checking the owner's manual or searching online for the specific model year to confirm the exact battery type, as there might be slight adjustments across different years. It’s safer to get it replaced at an authorized shop—if you do it yourself, remember to disconnect the battery to prevent short circuits.
I've seen many K2 models at repair shops, and their batteries are usually 46B24L, 12V 60Ah. When installing, make sure to align the positive and negative terminals correctly and secure the battery in its holder. Battery aging can cause difficulties in cold starts, especially noticeable on rainy days. I recommend testing the voltage annually; if it drops below 12V, consider replacing it. Don't opt for cheaper, incompatible models—for instance, a battery with too small a capacity can shorten its lifespan. Some newer K2 models come with AGM batteries, which are more durable. Always check the vehicle's nameplate to confirm the specifications before making a purchase.
