What is the battery model specification for the 2013 Lavida?
2 Answers
The 2013 Lavida has two battery model specifications: Fengfan 6-QW-60 and Bosch L2-400. The original car battery has a lifespan of 3-4 years, and Volkswagen provides a two-year warranty for the battery. In addition to regular maintenance at 4S shops, daily battery care is essential. Here are some tips for car battery maintenance: 1. Avoid prolonged parking: The battery installed in the car will self-discharge over time when left unused. It is recommended to drive the car at least once a week for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the battery to recharge while driving. 2. Close windows before turning off the engine: The power supply for the car's windows and sunroof comes from the battery. Therefore, it is best to close all windows before turning off the engine, rather than after, or even using the long-press lock button method to close the windows after leaving the car. 3. Keep the battery clean: Regular inspections are an effective way to extend the battery's lifespan. Use a professional battery electrode brush or an old toothbrush to clean dust and corrosion from the battery's positive and negative terminals. Apply a layer of Vaseline or grease to the contact surfaces to form a protective film.
I just replaced my car battery last year after researching for several nights. The 2013 Lavida originally came with a 60Ah capacity battery, mostly in models like L2-400 or similar specifications. If you want to buy one yourself, make sure the cranking current is at least around 520A. Varta Silver or Fengfan's S55 model work great with no issues during cold winter starts. Remember to choose maintenance-free models marked accordingly - otherwise you'll have to regularly check the electrolyte level which is troublesome. It's best to have professionals replace the battery, as reversing the polarity during DIY replacement could fry the ECU, which would cost way more to fix than the battery itself. I recommend checking battery health every 4-5 years - don't wait until you're stranded on the road to regret it.
