What is the model of the start-stop battery for the Honda XR-V?

[VonBeau]

The battery used in the Honda XR-V is a VARTA brand with specifications of 12V-48AH (5)/12V-60AH (20). In daily life, please note: Avoid long-term outdoor parking: Avoid parking the car in an open parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage.

I've been driving a Honda XRV for almost two years. I remember its start-stop battery model is Q85, with a capacity of about 55 ampere-hours, specifically designed for the start-stop system to ensure smoother engine restarts at traffic lights. After replacing a battery, I found that the original equipment usually comes with Yuasa brand, priced around 1200, which offers good value for money. I recommend not opting for cheaper aftermarket alternatives, as start-stop batteries have different internal structures that can withstand frequent discharges. If you often take short trips, it's best to check the battery voltage every six months; otherwise, it might struggle to start in winter. Also, don’t overlook the good habit of turning off electronic devices when parked. Leaving the radio or air conditioning on for extended periods can accelerate battery aging and affect the entire start-stop function.
