What is the battery model of the Changan CS75?
3 Answers
The battery models for the Changan CS75 SUV are L2350R, 58, 86, L2400R, and D23R; the battery model for the 2.0MT Leading SUV 2014 edition is AGMH5 and AGML2400. The car battery is an essential part of the vehicle and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. The Changan CS75 is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4650mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1705mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of safety features, this car is equipped with front and rear airbags, tire pressure monitoring, ABS and vehicle stability control, front and rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree panoramic camera.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade and have seen plenty of Changan CS75s. The factory battery is usually a Varta L2-400, which is a 60Ah 12V battery. The numbers in this model represent size and capacity - L2 indicates the specification while 400 denotes the cold cranking amps (CCA) value. When replacing the battery, pay attention to the model year. Older CS75 models can use regular batteries, but newer versions with start-stop systems require EFB or AGM batteries, otherwise they won't last. I advise owners not to just look at price when replacing, but also consider the CCA value to ensure sufficient starting power in winter. Battery replacement is straightforward, but if doing it yourself, remember to disconnect power first to avoid damaging the ECU. By the way, battery lifespan is typically 3-5 years - get it checked when due to avoid roadside breakdowns. Summer heat can cause battery fluid evaporation, while winter cold reduces power output, so monitor battery condition during seasonal changes to prevent morning starting issues.
I drive a 2018 Changan CS75. Last winter, the battery died, and I had to call for roadside assistance. The mechanic checked it and said the original battery was 60Ah, probably a Varta L2-400 model, which was quite large in size. Later, I looked it up online and found that this model has a CCA rating of over 500. But during the replacement, the mechanic mentioned there were more durable options available. I ended up replacing it with a Camel EFB battery, costing a little over 500 yuan, and it's been working well so far. I recommend checking if your car has a start-stop function before replacing the battery. If it does, you'll need a battery that supports start-stop systems, or else a regular battery might fail easily. I once got stranded in a supermarket parking lot when the car wouldn't start, wasting two hours, so now I get the battery health checked every two years at the shop. During my recent maintenance, I specifically asked the mechanic to inspect the charging system, since alternator issues can also affect battery life.
