What is the battery model of the Hongguang S3?

Wuling Hongguang S3 battery model is 6-QW-45, with specifications of 12V45AH450A, rated voltage of 12V, and 20-hour power rated capacity of 45AH. Definition of car battery: Car battery, also known as storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. A storage battery is an electrochemical device that stores chemical energy and releases electrical energy when necessary. Lead-acid battery: Generally, what people refer to as a battery is a lead-acid battery. It is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Some batteries develop high internal resistance after prolonged use, getting fully charged quickly and discharging rapidly. Such batteries may show normal no-load voltage when tested with a multimeter. Therefore, it is not enough to measure only the no-load voltage; the discharge current should also be measured, which can be done using a discharge tester.
I remember clearly when replacing the battery for my Hongguang S3. The factory-installed one was a 55D23L specification, with about 12V voltage and 60Ah capacity. Once in winter, the car wouldn't start, and the mechanic found this exact model upon inspection. However, it's important to distinguish between base and high-end models, as some high-end versions might use a larger 80D26L battery. When buying a new one, always match the old battery's label and don't listen to repair shops recommending incompatible models, which could damage the circuits. Also, a reminder: check the small round mark on the battery's side for the production date, and preferably choose one manufactured within the last six months.
Last time when helping a friend check his car, the original battery specifications for the Hongguang S3 were clearly marked - the vehicle nameplate at the lower right corner of the windshield actually prints the compatible model. The common type is the rectangular 55D23L battery, measuring about 23cm in width. However, some models after the 2019 upgrade adopted the 80D26L with higher cranking current. If replacing it yourself, remember to measure the old battery first as the battery compartment has limited space. A useful tip: genuine batteries have anti-counterfeit QR codes on top - scanning verifies authenticity, while aftermarket parts tend to leak.
