What is the battery model of the Trumpchi GS8?

[SanBennett]

The battery model for the Trumpchi GS8 is Yuasa LN3, with specifications of 12V-75Ah. For models with engine start-stop technology, the battery is Varta H6, with specifications of 12V-70Ah. Below is relevant information about car batteries: 1. The normal lifespan of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the vehicle's condition. If the vehicle's alternator charges normally and there are no electrical leaks, the battery can typically last over 3 years. If you notice difficulty in charging, weak starter performance, or significantly dimmed headlights, the battery should be removed and charged for 12-24 hours. If the issue persists and the mileage exceeds 50,000 km without alternator issues, consider replacing the battery. 2. Car batteries are highly sensitive to cold temperatures, so regular inspection and maintenance are essential. Daily precautions include: (1) Avoid parking the car in open-air parking lots for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. (2) In winter, car engines are harder to start. Each attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts. If the car fails to start after multiple attempts, check other aspects like the electrical circuit, ignition coil, or fuel system. Avoid continuous starting attempts, as this can over-discharge and damage the battery. (3) Regularly charge the car battery. A battery left unused will gradually self-discharge and eventually become unusable. Therefore, start the car periodically to recharge the battery. (4) Clean the battery terminals periodically and apply specialized grease to protect the wiring harness. Regularly inspect the battery's accessories and connecting wires. (5) Avoid using car electronics when the engine is off. Using the battery alone without the alternator running can cause damage.

My GAC GS8 is the 2018 model, and the battery model is typically the 70Ah Q85 with a 12V positive/negative terminal layout, matching the starting current of its 2.0T engine. Remember to choose a new battery with the right size and a cold cranking current of at least 580A when purchasing, otherwise, it might struggle to start in winter. If replacing it yourself, first disconnect the negative terminal to prevent short circuits, and after installing the new battery, reset the electronic system to avoid false trouble codes. For daily maintenance, avoid letting the battery drain—don’t leave headlights or the entertainment system on for too long when parked. Check the electrolyte level monthly and top it up with distilled water if low. Overall, the factory-recommended Q85 series is quite reliable, but the model may vary slightly depending on the year, so it’s best to check the owner’s manual or app to confirm your vehicle’s specifications.

I'm the owner of a GS8 and just replaced the battery last year with the Q85-12V model, rated at 70Ah. At the time, I noticed delayed ignition, so I took it to the repair shop and found out the old battery was worn out. I promptly replaced it with the same model. The technician mentioned that this car has unique battery terminals, and using the Q85 ensures stable voltage. If buying online, he advised choosing compatible brands with a CCA rating above 550, like Varta or Sail, which are good options. After the replacement, the car started up instantly—super quick! I now pay extra attention to battery maintenance, making sure to turn off all electronics before shutting down the engine to avoid insufficient charging from frequent short trips. Also, battery lifespan is typically 3-5 years, so it's best to get it checked in advance rather than waiting for a breakdown to cause trouble.

The GAC GS8 commonly uses a Q85 series 12V 70Ah battery. The exact model can be identified by the numbers on the battery label. When selecting a new battery, prioritize genuine products to avoid counterfeits and ensure the size fits the engine compartment. I often advise friends to regularly test the voltage—healthy batteries should read above 12.6V, while anything below 11.8V is risky. Simple maintenance like cleaning terminals to prevent corrosion and using a charger to top up monthly can extend battery life. If unsure about the model, take a photo and consult the 4S dealership or search online by vehicle model and year.
