What is the model number of the Verna battery?
2 Answers
It uses a Camel brand, flooded starting lead-acid battery with the model number 6-QW-45MF. Generally, the lifespan of a Verna car battery is 2-3 years, while the original battery in a new car can last over 3 years. If the Verna car battery remains unused for a long time, it will gradually self-discharge until it becomes unusable. Therefore, the car should be started periodically to recharge the battery. Precautions for using the Verna battery: 1. When the ammeter indicates insufficient charge, recharge promptly. The battery's charge level can be reflected on the dashboard. If you find the charge insufficient while driving and the engine won't start, as a temporary measure, you can seek help from another vehicle to jump-start your car by connecting the negative terminals and positive terminals of both batteries. 2. The density of the electrolyte should be adjusted according to standards based on different regions and seasons. 3. When the electrolyte is low, replenish it with distilled water or a specialized replenishing fluid. Never use drinking purified water as a substitute, as it contains various trace elements that can adversely affect the battery.
Our family drives an older Verna, and I remember the battery replacement very clearly. The original factory usually comes with a 55D23L model, featuring 60Ah capacity and 450CCA cold cranking amps, with dimensions of 232×173×225mm—these specs are particularly important. However, I should remind you that there can be variations between different model years; my 2016 model used a different battery type compared to my friend’s 2012 version. If you’re replacing the battery yourself, don’t just focus on the model number—double-check the dimensions and terminal orientation. Last time I replaced mine, the new battery’s mounting tabs were off by half a centimeter and wouldn’t fit. By the way, the original Hankook battery is expensive, but brands like Camel or Sail offer the same specifications at a much better value, and they perform just fine even in northern winters at sub-zero temperatures.
