What model battery does the Hyundai Mistra use?
2 Answers
The Hyundai Mistra uses a 55D26L 60AH battery. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is primarily made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Taking the Mistra 2021 270TGDi DCT LUX Premium Edition as an example: it is a mid-size car launched by Beijing Hyundai, with dimensions of 4780mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2770mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 125kw, and paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Speaking of my Hyundai Mistra, mine is the 2016 model. I had to replace the battery when the original one failed. The specific model is H6 size, with a 70Ah capacity and a cold cranking current of around 750 amps. The original battery was labeled as Q85 model. However, the mechanic recommended switching to a VARTA AGM battery, saying it's more durable and ensures smoother starts, especially in winter. It's crucial to get the size right—approximately 175mm in width—to avoid mistakenly getting an H5 size that won't fit. Regular maintenance is key; check the terminals every few years for corrosion, as poor contact can shorten the battery's lifespan. Before replacing, it's wise to take a photo of the old battery's label for easy reference when shopping. From experience, opt for reliable brands like Bosch or Camel to avoid subpar products.
