What is the battery model specification for Geely Emgrand?
3 Answers
Geely Emgrand battery model is 6QAW60a12V. The following are the meanings represented by each number: 1. 12V represents the battery voltage as 12V. 2. 6 indicates that it is composed of 6 single cells, each with a voltage of 2V, resulting in a rated voltage of 12V. 3. Q stands for automotive starting battery. 4. A and W represent the type of battery, where A indicates a dry-charged battery and W indicates a maintenance-free battery. Precautions for using the battery: 1. Avoid parking the car in an open parking lot for extended periods. If parking for a long time, remove and take the battery with you to prevent freezing and damage. 2. In winter, the car engine is harder to start. Each starting attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with a subsequent attempt spaced no less than 15 seconds apart. 3. The car battery should be charged regularly. If left unused for a long time, the battery will self-discharge until it is scrapped. Therefore, start the car periodically to charge the battery. 4. Clean the battery terminals periodically and apply special grease to protect the wiring harness. Regularly check the battery accessories and connecting circuits.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand for over five years, from the 2018 model to the current one. The original battery model is mostly 55D23L, with 12V voltage and 60Ah capacity. As for the dimensions, it's approximately 232mm by 173mm by 225mm in length, width, and height, fitting snugly into the engine compartment. However, there might be slight variations across different model years. For example, my friend's 2021 Emgrand switched to a slightly smaller version, so it's best to check the vehicle manual to confirm the model label. Replacing it yourself isn't difficult—just remember not to reverse the positive and negative terminals, and for safety, disconnect the negative cable before removing the old battery. Battery lifespan is typically two to three years, so maintenance should be diligent: regularly clean terminal corrosion and wipe off dirt with a damp cloth; if the car sits idle for long periods without starting, drive it for about half an hour each week to prevent discharge; when winter starts become difficult, check the voltage—if it drops below 12V, it's time for a replacement. When choosing a battery, domestic brands like Camel or Fengfan offer good value for money, costing around 400-500 RMB, while the original 4S store battery is slightly more expensive but a better match. In short, 55D23L is a common standard, but always verify with the manual to avoid surprises.
When I first bought the Geely Emgrand as a newbie, I was also curious about the battery model. Later, I found out it was 55D23L, with 12 volts and 60 ampere-hours capacity, measuring approximately 232mm in length, 173mm in width, and 225mm in height. Don't just memorize these details; you also need to consider the specific year of the vehicle. Models from 2015 to 2020 mostly use the same battery, but newer versions might have adjusted parameters—I've seen a friend's older model replaced with a different type. Choosing the wrong one can be troublesome; your car won't start and becomes useless, especially in winter when the cold cranking amps (CCA) must be at least 440A. Replacing a battery is simple—just go to an auto repair shop or a 4S store, or you can do it yourself, but make sure to match the specifications with the original factory label when purchasing. Maintenance is easy: avoid draining the battery by listening to music while parked, drive for half an hour weekly to recharge it, keep the terminals clean to prevent leakage, and opt for maintenance-free batteries for convenience. When buying a battery, choose reliable brands like Varta for better quality (though pricier), or domestic options for affordability (around 500 yuan). Regularly check the battery's condition—if the voltage drops below 12.4V, don't delay replacing it, or you risk a breakdown on the road.
