What is the battery model used in the Buick GL8?

The battery model used in the Buick GL8 is 80D26R12V70A. The battery is an important component of a car. When the engine is not started, the battery supplies power to all electronic devices in the vehicle. After the engine is started, the generator powers all electronic devices and can also charge the battery. The Buick GL8 is a 5-door, 7-seat MPV with body dimensions of 5238 mm in length, 1878 mm in width, and 1776 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3088 mm. The Buick GL8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 174 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
From an automotive design perspective, the Buick GL8 typically uses an 80Ah AGM-type battery, specifically designed for start-stop systems to support high-load operation of onboard electronic devices. This type of battery has a longer lifespan and is more durable than traditional EFB batteries, often labeled as H6 specification. If your vehicle is a newer model from the past two years, you'll notice quieter starts thanks to AGM technology. However, older models might use a 70Ah EFB battery, so it's best to check the manual for confirmation. I recommend checking the battery label in the engine compartment after purchase and regularly testing the voltage—around 12.6 volts is normal to avoid cold-weather starting issues.
