What is the model of the original battery for Cadillac XTS?
3 Answers
12-volt 70-ampere-hour battery. The following are precautions for using the original Cadillac battery: Explosion risk: The acid inside the battery can cause burns, and its gases can lead to explosions. Failure to take precautions may result in serious injuries. Wash hands after use: The battery terminals, connectors, and related components contain lead and lead compounds, which are carcinogenic and can affect reproduction. Always wash your hands after handling. Turn off electrical equipment: Using vehicle electrical devices such as the audio system for extended periods while the engine is off, or forgetting to turn off interior reading lights and other electrical devices when leaving the vehicle, can drain the battery.
I've driven a Cadillac XTS for three years and specifically researched the original battery model when replacing it. The car comes with an ACDelco AGM battery, commonly the 48AGM model with a 70Ah capacity. ACDelco is a supporting brand under General Motors, specifically designed for start-stop systems, and its durability is indeed excellent. My experience suggests paying attention to replacement every four to five years. Last time, it cost me 2100 yuan at the 4S shop, but later I found a Varta AGM battery with the same specifications for only 1500 yuan. However, it's important to note that the battery base dimensions of XTS models from different production years might have slight adjustments, so it's best to compare the old battery before purchasing a new one.
I've encountered quite a few XTS battery replacement cases at the repair shop. The factory standard is the Delco AGM 48 model, which comes in two shell colors: brown and black, with a CA-AM label on the side. Start-stop vehicles must use AGM technology batteries, as regular batteries can't handle frequent start-stop cycles. One owner opted for a cheaper regular battery, and the start-stop function failed within three months. It's recommended to choose at least an EFB-level alternative, such as the Varta Blue Dynamic H6 model, which can save you three to four hundred yuan. After installation, remember to reset the battery management system using a diagnostic tool.
