2 Answers
The battery model of the JAC Refine S3 is 55D23L 12V, with a battery capacity of 60Ah and a voltage of 12V. The battery, also known as a storage battery, refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly composed of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The JAC Refine S3 is positioned as a compact SUV. Taking the 2020 JAC Refine S3 as an example, its body dimensions are 4345mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1640mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2560mm. In terms of power, the 2020 JAC Refine S3 is equipped with a 4GB 1.5L engine, delivering a rated power of 83kW, a maximum torque of 146Nm, and a low-end torque of 100Nm. The engine is paired with either a 6MT or CVT transmission.
I've been driving the JAC Refine S3 for three years. The original battery was a 12V 45Ah model, which I remember was a Camel brand 6-QW-45. Later, when it started slower in winter, I replaced it with a same-specification Varta 60Ah battery with a CCA value around 550, which provides more stable starting. Regular maintenance is crucial, such as avoiding leaving lights on when the engine is off to prevent battery drain and shortened lifespan; checking the electrodes for corrosion every six months, cleaning the terminals to avoid poor contact. When choosing a battery, make sure it matches the vehicle's electrical system—insufficient capacity can cause dim lights or struggling air conditioning. Typically, it lasts three to four years, but if you notice delayed starting, get the voltage tested at a repair shop—don't wait until you're stranded to replace it. These cost around 200-300 yuan, so don't skimp on quality to avoid repeated expenses.
