What is the battery model of the Great Wall Haval H6?
4 Answers
The original battery model for the Great Wall Haval H6 gasoline version is 55D26R with a capacity of 60 ampere-hours; the diesel version uses a 95D31R battery with a capacity of 80 ampere-hours. The Haval H6 is the flagship model of the Haval brand, positioned as an urban intelligent SUV. The vehicle's dimensions are 4640 mm in length, 1825 mm in width, and 1690 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680 mm. In terms of safety features, the Haval H6 comes standard with headlight height adjustment, 'follow-me-home' headlight delay shut-off, four-way steering wheel adjustment, dual airbags, rear air conditioning vents, among other configurations. Higher trim levels additionally offer features such as cruise control, intelligent voice GPS navigation system, smart wiper and lighting control, side airbags and front-rear integrated side curtain airbags, ESP electronic stability system, and a tire pressure monitoring system for enhanced intelligence and convenience.
The Great Wall Haval H6 typically uses a factory-installed 12V battery with a capacity of 60Ah. There are two common model specifications: the 1.5T models usually match with the 6-QW-60, which has a capacity of 60Ah and a cold cranking amperage (CCA) of around 540A (specific values may vary by year); the 2.0T models often come with a slightly larger 6-QW-70, with a CCA that may exceed 600A. When selecting a replacement battery, always check the label on the original battery mount or the number on the old battery, paying special attention to the size and CCA value, as this is crucial for winter starts. It is recommended to choose branded products such as Fengfan or Varta with the same specifications. For start-stop models, make sure to use a dedicated battery and avoid replacing it with a standard one casually.
For the Haval H6 battery, focus on three key points: 12V voltage is the baseline, capacity typically ranges from 60-70Ah (the last digits indicate ampere-hours), and the cold cranking amps (CCA) rating. The factory often equips it with a 6-QW-60 lead-acid battery, though older manual transmission H6 models might use a 55Ah one. The most accurate method is to check the label on the side of the old battery or take a photo of the battery post size for comparison with parts suppliers. A reminder for southern owners: a CCA value around 550A is sufficient, while in northern regions with winter temperatures below -10°C, opt for 600A or higher to ensure reliable starts. Avoid being misled by cheap, no-name brands.
Personal experience sharing: When replacing the battery for my 3rd-gen Haval H6, the original factory sticker indicated 12V-60Ah-580A (CCA), with an actual measured length of 278mm. The 4S store recommended model L2-400, but I found the same-spec VARTA Blue Dynamic H6-60-L-T2 online for just over 300 RMB. Important note: For vehicles with auto start-stop function, EFB or AGM batteries must be selected as regular batteries can't handle frequent starts. When replacing it yourself, remember the positive/negative terminal connection sequence. After disconnecting the terminals, the onboard computer may reset, requiring reconfiguration of power windows and clock settings.
