What model battery is suitable for Suzuki Swift?
4 Answers
The original battery model for Swift is Yuasa 12V45A (Ah), and the maximum battery capacity supported by Swift is 55A. Here is some extended information about Swift: 1. The M15A engine equipped in Swift is one of China's top ten fuel-efficient all-aluminum engines, featuring 16-valve DOHC and WT continuously variable valve timing technology, with a maximum power of 76 kW, maximum torque of 138 N·m, and maximum torque speed of 4000 rpm. 2. While delivering efficient power, the M15A engine achieves higher gasoline combustion efficiency, enabling excellent fuel economy with a constant-speed fuel consumption of only 5.6L per 100km, accurately reflecting Swift's fuel-saving performance. 3. Swift is a new car brand launched by Changan Suzuki in 2005, positioned as an 'absolutely differentiated new product'. 4. True to its name, Swift is compact and agile, often referred to as a 'mini MINI-COOPER'. The domestic Swift features a fashionable and aesthetically pleasing exterior design, complete configurations, and is economical and fuel-efficient.
Last time I helped my brother replace the battery in his Suzuki Swift, we checked the manual and the old battery label, and found it was a 65D23 model for the 2013 version. Different model years may vary, with newer ones like post-2018 recommending the 55D series. It's best to first check the user manual for specifications. If the manual is lost, look for the size and CCA value on the label of the old battery under the hood. Generally, the size shouldn't be too big or too small, with about 500 ampere-hours being ideal to avoid installation issues or winter starting difficulties. Doing it yourself saves money and is convenient, but remember to disconnect the negative terminal before the positive to prevent short circuits. After installation, test the startup to ensure it's normal, and it's also a good idea to regularly check battery health, replacing it every three years to extend its lifespan. Use reputable brands like Varta or Fengfan, and enter the vehicle model and year on auto parts websites for more accurate matching.
I've been in car maintenance for many years, and the Suzuki Swift indeed has diverse battery models. For instance, older models like the 2007 often use 55B24, while newer ones such as the 2020 may come with 65E26, depending on the engine size. The key is to ensure the dimensions match and the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) is suitable, typically between 500-600 amps. If unsure, don't guess—either check the battery section in the user manual or have a repair shop scan and diagnose. Incorrect sizing can lead to shaking or damage to the wiring. It's advisable to choose a branded battery that fits the model to ensure smooth starts in both winter and summer. A mid-range price of around 400 yuan is reasonable; avoid cheap, no-name brands that might cause sudden stalling.
I've driven my friend's Swift, his is a 2010 model with a replaced battery model 65D23. The key is to check the vehicle manual or original battery label dimensions to avoid size mismatch. Commonly used 55D or 65E series, matching 500cca current. Disconnect power for safety before DIY, regular maintenance is recommended.
