What is the battery model of the BYD Surui?

The battery model for the BYD Surui is the 80D26L from the Varta brand. The BYD Surui is a compact sedan that was officially launched in March 2014. The new Surui also introduced a powertrain combination of a 1.5L engine paired with a 6-speed DCT transmission. The Surui is equipped with BYD's most advanced Golden Powertrain: a 1.5TI turbocharged direct-injection engine with a maximum power of 113kW/5200rpm and a peak torque of 240N·m, mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) with shift times under 0.2 seconds and a combined fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km. With dimensions of 4680mm*1765mm*1490mm (L*W*H) and a 2660mm wheelbase, the Surui enters the quasi-B-segment sedan category. It also features a spacious 450L trunk and 18 storage compartments throughout the cabin. The Surui's chassis has been newly tuned, with the front subframe reinforced by added longitudinal and transverse beams to enhance suspension strength and rigidity, improving overall driving stability. The rear subframe adopts an internally high-pressure-formed twist beam axle, a manufacturing process previously seen in joint-venture mid-to-high-end models, marking a new milestone in the technological advancement of domestic automakers.
I think the battery model for the BYD Surui is typically a 12-volt 60-ampere-hour, with standard models like 6-QW-60 being the most common original equipment. The ampere-hour capacity is just right for the engine's needs, requiring minimal modifications during installation. If you're replacing the battery yourself, remember to disconnect the negative terminal first to avoid short circuits and damage to the car. Then, find a suitable replacement with the right dimensions, such as the 55D23L, which is common but not universally compatible. For daily use, avoid frequent short trips to prevent the battery from staying at low charge for extended periods, especially in winter when issues are more likely to arise. It's recommended to check the voltage with a multimeter every six months, ideally keeping it above 12.6 volts. If you frequently use the air conditioning or have added electronic devices, the higher energy consumption might shorten the battery's lifespan to 3-4 years, so regular maintenance can save you trouble.
