2 Answers
The battery model of the Besturn B50 is 6QW68XD, which is a maintenance-free battery with features such as no need for maintenance, strong power storage capacity, and low self-discharge. Car batteries, also known as storage batteries, are a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The commonly referred to car battery is a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The Besturn B50 is independently developed by FAW Car. In terms of body dimensions, its length, width, and height are 4615mm, 1785mm, and 1435mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2675mm.
I've been driving a Besturn B50 for five years. The original battery model for this car is typically a 12V 45Ah lead-acid battery, commonly in standard sizes like 55D23L. The battery lifespan is generally 3-5 years. Last winter, my car had difficulty starting because the battery was aging and I didn’t replace it in time, which eventually cost me over 400 yuan to replace with a Varta-brand battery. I recommend paying attention to some details in daily use, such as avoiding prolonged use of air conditioning or headlights after turning off the engine to prevent battery drain, which can shorten its lifespan. If you notice dashboard warning lights or sluggish starts, use a multimeter to check the voltage first—it should normally stay above 12.4V. If it drops below 12V, it’s time to prepare for a replacement. During regular maintenance, ask the mechanic to check for oxidation or corrosion at the terminals to prevent unexpected failures. Overall, the battery for the B50 isn’t expensive, but choosing a higher-quality one can save trouble in the long run.
