What is the model number of the Verna battery?

[LaNova]

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.

Last time when replacing the battery for a customer's Verna, we encountered model compatibility issues due to the faded original label. Generally, 55D23L is the mainstream model, but actual selection depends on voltage and positive terminal position—most 12V batteries have the positive terminal on the right side. My standard practice involves first testing capacity to ensure the new battery exceeds 60Ah, with CCA values no less than 500A for reliability, especially for start-stop equipped vehicles. Many car owners purchasing batteries online often confuse models like 55D23L with 55B24L—the former being 2cm longer. Currently, Varta Silver Dynamic series offers excellent compatibility with 3-year warranty, but post-installation requires diagnostic tool calibration for the power management system to complete the job.

Checked the manual, the Verna comes standard with a 55D23L battery, 60Ah capacity. This model is widely available, with Sail brand selling for around 250 at auto parts markets - half the price of dealerships. For DIY replacement, prepare a 10mm wrench, disconnect negative terminal first then positive. Improper operation may damage the ECU. Last winter when my car wouldn't start, jump-start revealed oxidized terminals. Solved by sanding them clean and sealing with grease, didn't even need battery replacement.

The older Verna models most commonly use the 55D23L battery, but in recent years, many vehicles have switched to the 46B24L. When selecting a battery, focus on three key parameters: 12V voltage is essential, a 60Ah capacity ensures no power shortage when using both air conditioning and headlights simultaneously, and a Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating of at least 480 is recommended for reliable starts even in -20°C Northeast winters. Last time I replaced the battery, I noticed water leakage in the battery tray—I had to fix the drainage holes before installing the new battery, as even the best battery will fail prematurely if submerged. If a multimeter shows a standby current exceeding 50mA, it’s crucial to locate the leakage point, which is far more important than replacing the battery itself.
