What is the original battery model for the Sagitar?
2 Answers
The Sagitar is equipped with a Fengfan maintenance-free battery with a capacity of 60Ah and a cold cranking current of 480A. The new Sagitar uses a Fengfan maintenance-free battery with a capacity of 72Ah and a cold cranking current of 640A (EN/SAE/GS). More information about car batteries is as follows: 1. Battery life is reduced by 80% when depleted; three instances of depletion will essentially damage the battery, requiring replacement. 2. Check for faults to ensure no lights or other electrical devices continue to draw power after the car is parked. The static current should not exceed 300mA (including the anti-theft alarm). 3. To maintain uninterrupted power supply, the new battery should be fully charged. When replacing the battery, use the 'jumper' method: connect the old and new batteries in parallel using jumper cables, remove the old battery, disconnect its wiring from the car, then connect the new battery accordingly, install the new battery, and finally remove the jumper cables.
I've been driving my Volkswagen Sagitar for almost five years, and I remember the original battery model was a standard L2-400 with 60Ah capacity. It performed reliably during daily commutes, lasting three years before replacement. When changing it, I realized the model number is crucial—using the wrong one may cause capacity mismatch and starting difficulties. I recommend regular battery health checks, like measuring voltage with a multimeter (fully charged should read above 12.6V). Last winter, slow morning starts signaled aging, prompting a timely swap to a new Varta battery matching the original specs. Replacement isn't hard, but always disconnect the negative terminal first to prevent short-circuit risks. Note: OEM batteries typically last 3-5 years, though high mileage or frequent short trips accelerate wear. Affordable at a few hundred RMB, but always verify exact specifications in your manual—Sagitar models may have subtle year-to-year variations.
