What is the battery model of Wuling Zhiguang?
2 Answers
The battery model of Wuling Zhiguang is: 6-QW-48; specifications are: 12V48Ah550CCA. Below is an introduction to car batteries: 1. The functions of a car battery are: to power the starter when starting the engine; to assist the generator in supplying power to electrical equipment when the generator is overloaded; to supply power to electrical equipment when the generator is not generating electricity or the voltage is low; and to convert part of the electrical energy into chemical energy for storage when the generator's terminal voltage is higher than that of the lead-acid battery. 2. The lifespan of a car battery is generally around two years. However, if you frequently turn off the engine while using the air conditioning or use electrical equipment when the engine is not idling, the battery may need replacement in less than two years. 3. Good driving habits can extend the battery's lifespan, but the specific time for battery replacement should be determined based on the battery's condition.
The original battery for the Wuling Zhiguang is generally a 12V 36Ah model, commonly seen as 6-QW-36 (brands like Camel and Fengfan use this). However, it depends on the year and configuration—my cousin's 2018 model used this type, but a friend who bought the upgraded version last year seems to have switched to a 45Ah one. When choosing a new battery, don’t just memorize the model number—you’ll need to open the battery box under the driver’s seat and measure the dimensions. Even a half-centimeter difference in length, width, or height can make it impossible to fit. Opt for a cold cranking amperage (CCA) of at least 350A to ensure reliable starts even in -20°C winters in the Northeast. Mine lasted three and a half years before replacement, and the trick was cleaning the electrode terminals monthly to prevent oxidation.
