2 Answers
The battery specification for the Buick Excelle is 12V55AH. The functions of the battery include: 1. Providing power to the car's starter and ignition system; 2. Supplying a stable DC power source for the car's electrical appliances. The Buick Excelle is an entry-level family sedan launched by SAIC-GM Buick. Taking the 2020 Buick Excelle as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4468mm, width 1765mm, height 1469mm, with a wheelbase of 2611mm and a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. The 2020 Buick Excelle is equipped with a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 79kW and a maximum torque of 133Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving my Buick Excelle for nearly a decade. The battery specifications are typically 12 volts, with a capacity around 60 ampere-hours and a cold cranking current of approximately 600 amps. I remember being curious about why these standards were set when I replaced the battery for the first time. Later, I learned that this ensures smooth starts, especially during cold winters when power demand is high. The original battery for the Excelle often uses brands like Unity or Varta, with dimensions of 300mm in length, 175mm in width, and 190mm in height, fitting perfectly in the vehicle's battery tray. Maintenance is crucial—I check the electrolyte level annually and avoid excessive discharge to prolong its lifespan. If you frequently take short trips, the battery may drain easily, so I recommend occasionally taking longer drives to recharge it. There are many affordable non-original battery options on the market that match the specifications, but ones with too low capacity may cause starting difficulties. In short, knowing the specifications has saved me from multiple towing expenses, and developing a habit of checking battery health is highly practical.
