What is the battery model of the Buick GL8?
2 Answers
The battery model of the Buick GL8 is 80D26R12V70A. The battery is an important component of a vehicle. When the engine is not started, the battery supplies power to all electronic devices in the car. After the engine is started, the generator powers all electronic devices and also charges the battery. The battery is responsible for starting the engine. During engine startup, the ignition system, fuel supply system, and starter all require electricity to function. The Buick GL8 is a 5-door, 7-seat MPV with body dimensions of 5238 mm in length, 1878 mm in width, and 1776 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3088 mm. This model is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 174 kW and a maximum torque of 350 N·m, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
The battery model for the Buick GL8 varies depending on the year and configuration, but commonly it's a 12V lead-acid battery, typically in H5 or L3 sizes, with capacities ranging from 60Ah to 70Ah. Standard models include 6-QW-60 or equivalent ACDelco brand batteries. I often hear about this model in car enthusiast groups because it meets the GL8's engine starting requirements. However, if your vehicle is a newer model, there might be minor adjustments, so it's best to check the owner's manual for confirmation. During regular use, note that battery lifespan is generally 2-5 years, and high temperatures in southern regions can shorten it. Therefore, regularly check for corrosion on the terminals and ensure all electronics are turned off before shutting down the engine to extend usage. Battery issues can cause starting difficulties, especially in cold weather. I recommend using a multimeter to test the voltage every six months, ensuring it stays above 12.6V to prevent sudden breakdowns.
