What is the battery model of the Besturn B50?
2 Answers
The battery model of the Besturn B50 is Fengfan 6QW68XD, which belongs to the maintenance-free battery series of Fengfan batteries. It features no maintenance requirements, strong battery capacity, and low self-discharge. Batteries available on the market are categorized into conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. Conventional batteries have plates made of lead and lead oxide, offering stable voltage but shorter lifespan and more complicated maintenance. Dry-charged batteries have a negative plate with strong power storage capacity, making maintenance easier. Maintenance-free batteries consume less electrolyte and are characterized by high-temperature resistance, compact size, and shock resistance, requiring virtually no maintenance. The dimensions of the Besturn B50 are 4615mm in length, 1785mm in width, and 1435mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2675mm.
Last year, my Besturn B50's battery suddenly died. I had to check the owner's manual to find out it was a 12V 60Ah lead-acid battery. Many owners like me were initially clueless about this. When replacing the battery, I chose a Varta brand one, and the engine started successfully on the first try after installation. It's important to avoid letting the battery drain, like forgetting to turn off the headlights when parked, which can easily deplete the power. I've found that regularly checking the battery voltage with a multimeter can prevent breakdowns on the road. Battery lifespan is generally 3-5 years, and it's crucial to replace it promptly when overdue. This seemingly small matter involves the safety of the car's electrical system—neglecting it could lead to dangerous situations like stalling on the highway. I recommend that beginners who don't understand should go to a 4S shop; they can quickly diagnose and select the right model, avoiding unnecessary expenses from DIY attempts.
