What type of battery does the Hyundai Elantra use?

Modern Elantra adopts a 12V70Ah CCA760A specification battery with a service life ranging from 2 to 5 years. In terms of exterior design, the Elantra features an angular hexagonal front grille paired with chrome strip accents, delivering excellent texture. Complemented by newly designed headlights and L-shaped fog light trim, the vehicle exudes a youthful and fashionable vibe. For the interior, the Elantra's dashboard adopts a driver-oriented tilt design, incorporating a new dual-dial instrument cluster, a redesigned three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, an 8-inch center console display, and a standalone air-conditioning status display.

I've been driving a Hyundai Elantra for three years, equipped with a 12-volt lead-acid battery, typically around 60 ampere-hours in capacity. The original start-stop version comes with an EFB type, which has decent durability. I remember during the first year, frequent short-distance commuting accelerated battery aging, so I started regularly checking the voltage to ensure it stayed above 12.4V. When replacing the battery, I chose the same specifications to avoid system errors. It's advisable to test the battery before cold weather to extend its lifespan. Hyundai's design is quite thoughtful—the battery is conveniently located in the engine bay, making replacement easy. Also, the maintenance manual suggests replacement every two to three years, so don't wait until startup fails, as it could compromise driving safety.

As a car enthusiast, I know every detail about the Hyundai Elantra. Its battery is a 12V lead-acid type with a capacity of 60-70Ah, while the higher-end start-stop models use enhanced EFB versions for more stable discharge. Lithium batteries are lightweight but costly, so this model mostly comes with lead-acid. The CCA (cold cranking amps) should be above 700A for proper matching—don’t skimp and go for a smaller one. When I replaced mine, I opted for a branded part like VARTA to avoid the high price of OEM. Hyundai’s system is sensitive to the battery; low voltage will trigger a warning light promptly. The lifespan is roughly 3-5 years, and driving habits play a crucial role—frequent highway driving improves charging efficiency and can extend its life a bit longer.

I come from a background as a car mechanic. The Hyundai Elantra's battery is uniformly a 12-volt, 60-ampere-hour lead-acid type. Common issues include electrode corrosion or insufficient voltage causing starting difficulties. During maintenance, it's recommended that owners check the charging status every six months; if it's below 12V, it's time for a replacement. For start-stop models, use EFB batteries—mixing with regular ones can easily lead to malfunctions. Replacing the battery is straightforward: align the positive and negative terminals correctly (don't reverse them), and the job can be done in about 20 minutes. The cost is around 400-500 yuan; choose reputable brands to avoid mistakes.
