What Size Battery Does the Wuling Hongguang S Use?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang S uses a battery model: 6-QW-45S, with voltage and capacity of: 12V/45Ah, and cold cranking current of: 225A. If the battery is not used for a long time, it will slowly self-discharge until it becomes unusable. Therefore, the car should be started periodically to charge the battery. The charging time should not be too long; a maximum of 12 hours is sufficient. Here is some information about the Wuling Hongguang S: 1. The Wuling Hongguang S is a crossover self-developed product between commercial vehicles and passenger cars, launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling based on the Wuling Hongguang model. It features a sleek exterior design, diverse and practical spacious cabin. The Wuling Hongguang S achieves a perfect balance between power and fuel efficiency, along with strong performance in handling and safety, challenging the traditional impression of commercial vehicles. Compared to the Wuling Hongguang, it has a more youthful appearance and more car-like interior design, plus it is equipped with a 1.5L DVVT engine for upgraded power. 2. In terms of power, the Wuling Hongguang S replaces the original 1.4L engine with a 1.5L DVVT engine, increasing the maximum power to 82kW/5800rpm and maximum torque to 146.5N.m/(3600~4000)rpm. This engine is also used in the 2013 Baojun 630. Another power option is the older 1.2L engine, with a maximum power of 63kW/6000rpm and maximum torque of 108N.m/(4400~4800)rpm. All models are matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.
The standard battery for the Wuling Hongguang S is typically a 12-volt 55Ah lead-acid battery, such as the common model 55D23L or similar. The ampere-hour (Ah) rating indicates the battery capacity, and 55Ah is suitable for the starting needs of this vehicle's 1.5L engine—neither wasteful nor compromising reliability. If you replace the battery yourself, make sure to purchase the same specification to avoid size mismatches or capacity issues that could affect the electrical system. Daily driving tips: minimize short trips to allow the engine to recharge the battery, and avoid prolonged idling in winter to prevent excessive power drain. If you notice weak ignition, it's time to check the battery, as its typical lifespan is 2 to 5 years. Maintenance tips include cleaning the terminals every six months to prevent corrosion and checking the electrolyte level—top it up with distilled water if low, but avoid exceeding the full line. These practices help extend battery life, saving you hassle and money.
