The battery model used in the BYD S7 is the Varta 12V 80Ah maintenance-free battery. Taking the 2017 BYD S7 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4835mm, width 1855mm, height 1720mm, with a wheelbase of 2730mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 72 liters and a trunk capacity of 365 liters, with a curb weight of 1630kg. The 2017 BYD S7 features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 154PS, a maximum power of 113kW, and a maximum torque of 240Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The original battery for the BYD S7 typically has a capacity of 60Ah, commonly marked as 6-QW-60 or labeled with the number 550. This type of battery features a cold cranking current of 550A, making it particularly suitable for large vehicles like SUVs. My own car has been running for over five years, during which I've replaced the battery twice. If an older car starts having difficulty starting, it's time to consider a replacement. For maintenance, it's important to avoid leaving the headlights on when the engine is off, as issues with the charging system can also affect battery life. When choosing a battery, it's best to have a technician measure the battery compartment size, as there might be slight variations in different model years of the S7. Many brands now offer compatible models, such as Varta and Camel, which are quite reliable, and you can get one for around 400 to 500 yuan.
